Hello Fans,
As you are probably already aware, Denny Hamlin spent the night in a Birmingham, AL hospital following his hard crash into the wall from a cut tire. He was held overnight for observation for a possible concussion and a sore right foot. I heard from Denny today and I wanted to share that with you so you could hear from him about his condition.
Hello Becca,
Thank you so much for caring about me. I am doing fine. I am still a little sore. I stayed over night in the hospital so they can observe me and make sure I didn't have a concussion. They released me this morning. My foot hurts a bit but other than that I'm am fine. Thanks again for caring. I really appreciate it. I hope you have a great week. Take care.

I was able to have another conversation with him later in which he told me that the doctor had put him on pain meds and he was a bit out of it so we'll have our usual weekly talk when he's feeling better. I am so thankful that he's alright and that I was able to talk to him to find out how he is doing and let him know how concerned I am.
If you'd like to leave a get-well wish for Denny, please leave it in the comments for this post. I will ask Denny to stop by and look at them. Please keep our Denny in your prayers and cheer him on at Charlotte.
Your Denny Hamlin blogger,
Becca

Denny Hamlin cleared to drive at Lowe's Motorspeedway
Denny Hamlin will be back behind the wheel of the #11 FedEx Camry this weekend in Charlotte after his heavy-impact crash last weekend at Talladega. Following his release from University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) hospital on Monday morning, Hamlin met with NASCAR's consulting physician, Dr. Jerry Petty, this week in North Carolina and was cleared to race in the Sprint Cup race this weekend in Charlotte.
Hamlin on Talladega: "It was definitely the hardest hit I have ever taken in a race car. It was good to get home, get some rest and take it easy this week. I am feeling better everyday and look forward to getting back in the car this weekend. I need to thank everyone at Talladega and at UAB (University of Alabama at Birmingham) Hospital, and also Dr. Petty and the NASCAR medical team for taking care of me. I really appreciate all they did for me and for putting my health above everything else.
Thanks to all of the fans for their concern and, of course, thanks to everyone at JGR and #11 team who build really safe cars and that showed last weekend. This sport has made big gains in terms of safety – everything from the cars to the walls and those are big steps in the right direction."
Denny Hamlin will skip Friday night's Nationwide Series race at Lowe's Motor Speedway. Hamlin had been scheduled to drive in Friday's Dollar General 300 in Braun Racing's #10 Toyota. The car will now by driven by Dave Blaney, who gave Braun Racing its first win in the series in this race in 2006

I think all of Clt heard me scream when Denny's tire blew. We've been praying for him. Much love!
Hey Denny, I hope you're feeling better. Every race fan was concerned about you. I read all the messages boards and they were all praying and wishing you well. I am relieved to hear you are feeling fine. Thank God for the new car and the hans device. Good luck this weekend at Lowe's. I'll be watching as usual. By the way, I love when Mike Ford addresses all the Fedex employees before the green flag. I love it. Take care Denny. Colleen

Forgot earlier to Thank You Becca (and Denny) for the update after his hospital release...I was getting upset due to the lack of information I was able to find. With the info you posted, I was relieved - so Thanks again!
