Denny Hamlin Wins At Richmond!!!!

Take a look at that....that's Denny Hamlin in Victory Lane after winning the Lipton Tea 250 at his hometown racetrack, Richmond International Raceway, just 15 minutes from where he grew up. Just 4 short years ago, the 2006 Nextel Cup Rookie of the Year was sitting in the stands watching the same guys he rubs elbows with week in and week out do what he always dreamed about. Now, he's sitting 4th in the Sprint Cup Series Points, he won the Goody's Cool Orange 500 at Martinsville already this season, and now he's living the dream, raising the trophy in his personal Daytona 500 at his personal Indianapolis.

Relish every second Champ...you earned it. You may not have had the best car, you may not have been the man to beat, but you were the smartest guy on the track; taking 4 tires when Kevin Harvick decided to stay out and gamble. A crap shoot that did not pay off. Truth is, you were the best driver and the guy that was leading when the checkered waved. That's all that matters and your crew chief was right...we'll take it!

Virginia is very proud to have you as their native son. Mama and Daddy are looking like royalty right now and the celebration in Victory Lane was priceless. As a die-hard fan of yours, I must say Thank You for allowing me to get a glimpse of it. I was in tears and no doubt the ENTIRE East Coast heard me screaming when you won.

Well...Saturday night's Dan Lowry 400 is the next target on the list of things to do at Richmond
while you're back home. You've already got the pole D Ham...now let's show 'em what you're really made of and take the entire weekend. I'll be sporting my #11 Fed Ex Gear proudly and saying my prayers. Fingers crossed, Mike Ford be on top of your game, Crew guys kick some ass and D Ham...just be smart! I'll see ya when the confetti flies....YOU ARE THE MAN!!

CONGRATULATIONS CHAMP...you rock my world.
