Midway through the final Cup "Happy Hour" practice session for tomorrow's USG Sheetrock 400, Stewart dashed into Hamlin's transporter for a 15-minute meeting to hash out any lingering issues from Daytona. Both drivers emerged from the meeting smiling.
"We just came to the realization that he's wrong in a lot of areas and I'm wrong in some areas," Hamlin said prior to driver introductions for Saturday's USG Durarock
"It's just we've got to be good teammates on race day. We need to work through our differences and I think basically did."
Hamlin said the disagreements between the two began prior to Daytona. "He thought there were a lot of things that led up to it that kind of set him off and I questioned him," Hamlin said of Stewart. "The end result is we got it all solved and resolved and I think we're probably going to be better teammates than we were before."
A representative for Stewart said the driver would not comment prior to the Busch race, which both Stewart and Hamlin were entered in.
