NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin is eagerly awaiting the arrival of his third child, a son, with fiancée Jordan Fish. Currently participating in events at the Nashville Superspeedway for the Cracker Barrel 400, Hamlin is on heightened alert as he could leave the race at any moment should Fish go into labor.
As Hamlin prepared for the June 1 NASCAR Cup Series event, he engaged in practice and qualifying sessions on May 31 and finds himself ranked sixth in points with two wins this season, ensuring his spot in the NASCAR playoffs.
To ensure continuity, Ryan Truex, the younger brother of fellow NASCAR driver Martin Truex Jr., is on standby as a backup driver in case Hamlin needs to step away for the birth. Fortunately, NASCAR has provisions in place: if Hamlin is unable to race due to the birth of his child, he will not face penalties or loss of points, as the birth is recognized as an excused absence.
This moment marks a joyful milestone for Hamlin and Fish, as they prepare to welcome their new addition to the family amidst the thrill of the racing season. The excitement of both personal and professional life offers a heartwarming perspective on Hamlin’s ongoing journey.
