Denny Hamlin is known as an American professional stock car racing driver. He is most famous for driving Toyota race cars.
James Dennis Alan "Denny" Hamlin was born on November 18, 1980, in Tampa, Florida. He lived in Chesterfield, Virginia for a large portion of his adolescence. He was born to father Dennis Hamlin and mother Mary Lou Hamlin. Denny Hamlin started his racing career in 1988, at 7 years old, hustling go-karts.
By 1997 at 15 years old, Denny won the WKA makers cup. At 16 years old, he was hustling scaled down stocks. In his first stock vehicle race, at Langley Speedway, Denny won the post position and won the race. Denny Hamlin appeared on the pro scene in 2005 and his sponsor was FedEx Ground.
Denny Hamlin had a flag year in 2015, pulling in $15.1 million. While $13.1 million was an aftereffect of pay and rewards, Hamlin had the option to win $2 million in sponsor funds from brands like Toyota, Coca-Cola, Greenbrier resort, and Nike's Jordan Brand. This kind of support happens in the race world when a competitor like Denny completes in the best two out of seven back to back races during the 2014-15 NASCAR seasons.
In 2016, Denny Hamlin was a Fox NASCAR guest commentator for the Xfinity Series race at Talladega.
In July 2019, instead of Kyle Busch, who was hustling for his third win in succession on the 2.5-mile track, it was his partner Denny Hamlin who took the checkered banner to win Pocono Raceway. Hamlin drove a breadth of the best three spots by JGR, holding off partners Erik Jones and Martin Truex Jr. on an extra time restart and rationing enough fuel to make it to the end goal.
Denny was courtside when he and Jordan Fish caught each other's eye during a Lady Cats sideline performance. Jordan Fish is a former Charlotte Bobcats Dancer. She was a Charlotte Bobcats Dancer for two seasons. Not long after Hamlin and Fish chatted on the telephone, they were enamored and chose to be engaged. Denny Hamlin and his significant other Jordan Fish have a little girl together. They named her Taylor James Hamlin and she was born in 2013.
Denny Hamlin and Jordan n were spotted on the red carpet before the 2014 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Awards at Wynn Las Vegas on December 5, 2014, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
