Denny Hamlin will undergo reconstructive knee surgery next
week rather an waiting until after the season. The Toyota
driver tore his left antedor cruciata ligament in a January ;
preseason pickup basketball game. The original plan was to
delay surgery until after the season. Hamlin said on Saturday
that the surgery hacl to be done regardless of whare he was
in points, as his knee has buckled several times and caused him to sustain further
damage. =We were doing further damage to the knee and to me it's not something
' that's worth suffering forever or hang
