Who's Hot?
Denny Hamlin is sitting at the top in a class of outstanding rookies. This year's rookie class has been compared to the same rookie class that yielded Jimmie Johnson & Ryan Newman. Is Denny Hamlin on the same level as Jimmie & Ryan? Time will only tell, but what we do know is that he is a serious big-time competitor.Denny started his season with a bang by winning the Budweiser Shootout in Daytona. Since then, Hamlin has posted a 4th place finish at Texas Motor Speedway in the Samsung/Radioshack 500, a 2nd place finish at the Richmond International Raceway in the Crown Royal 400, and a win in this past weekend's Pocono 500 at Pocono International Raceway. Along the way, his average finish of 16th has been enough to catapult him into the top 10 in driver's points.
The rest of the NASCAR world is starting to see what Joe Gibbs & Co. have known all along, Denny Hamlin is the real deal!!! Not only can Denny make a mean hamburger and funny commercial, he can drive the hell out of a race car too!
