Twelfth Day of NASCAR - Denny Hamlin
On the twelfth day of NASCAR, the rhyming has to end
as we laud the team of Denny Hamlin.
Happy now? NO MORE RHYMES!
Like Martin Truex, Jr., Denny is a driver so very early in his career - but boy has he done well for the short time he’s been in Cup! From spectacular victories at Pocono to consistent performance throughout his first two seasons in the big time, I’m excited to see where Denny takes his career next.
Let’s cut to the Chase…
DENNY HAMLIN
Rank: 12th
Poles: 1
Wins: 1
Top Fives: 12
Top Tens: 18
Winnings: $4,943,810
If only FedEx delivered as quickly as Denny Hamlin…
What I like about Denny’s career so far: Joe Gibbs is definitely capable of making good calls outside of football - his confidence in the abilities of Denny Hamlin clearly show what foresight he had in adding this young’un to his team during the 2005 season. Although Denny is a relative newcomer to Cup, he’s no newcomer to racing, which is something he’s done virtually all of his life. Although youthful in appearance, Denny drives like an old pro, and he’s just fun to watch.
Where I think Denny’s future lies: I can’t even guess. He finished lower in the points this year than last, but consistency was still the major theme of his season. I’m going to guess that it’s only going to be a matter of time until Martin gets his first Daytona and his first Championship. I love his enthusiasm, and I believe that’ll carry him up to great places as his career continues!
Thanks for following along with me through the Twelve Days of NASCAR!
I’m going to be off the next day or so, but I’ll be back soon with some exciting posts to take us through the end of the year - stay tuned for a look at who is moving where, what teams are busily making ‘08 plans in the off-season, and where I think certain drivers and their careers will be next year!
Until then, drive fast and turn left!
