TALLADEGA, Ala. — Denny Hamlin ran 16 laps at full speed Friday, turned his car over to Brian Vickers and then didn't exactly rule himself out of running a full race this weekend as he recovers from a back injury. Hamlin insisted he'll again give Vickers the car at some point Sunday at Talladega Superspeedway. But with a sly smile, Hamlin left the door open to run a full race in his return from a compressed fracture of a vertebra in his lower back.
