Wednesday’s Free Social Media Webinar
30 Apr#RacingWrap: Denny Hamlin
27 Apr
Each week, TicketForce brings you a recap of news in one of four industries: racing, sports, theatre, and music. This week’s #RacingWrap will focus on Denny Hamlin, NASCAR driver in the Sprint Cup Series.
Last night was Denny Hamlin’s Short Track Showdown, a charity race Hamlin has now held for five years. The money raised from this charity race helps raise awareness and funding for people afflicted with cystic fibrosis. The money also goes towards helping programs that support chronically ill children and underprivileged youth.
Just last week, 30 year-old Hamlin donated $150,000 from his foundation to Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU. The donation “just shows how much our foundation has grown, how much this [charity] race has grown over the last few years and we’re so excited about the outlook. We’re trying to schedule even more events to help raise some more money”, Hamlin said.
Denny Hamlin has had quite the season so far. Last week, Hamlin won at Kansas Speedway. This was his second Sprint Cup victory of the year. Next, Hamlin will head to Richmond, a rather lucky layout for him. Hamlin has won two of the past four races at Richmond.
Hamlin is currently fifth in points with two wins. It is safe to say Hamlin has his eyes on the prize, the NASCAR championship, that is. As for where Hamlin’s great start came from, he credits his new crew chief, Darian Grubb.
