Before scoring his second win of the season, Denny Hamlin was all pumped to hit the golf course with his buddy until confusion with his fiancee threw a wrench in those plans. Hamlin spilled the beans on his podcast, Actions Detrimental, about how ticked off he was for missing out on a day at the greens and what actually led to that.

It was a rare Easter at the racetrack for Denny Hamlin, who usually jets home no matter where he is to hang with his girls for the holiday. But after the qualifying thing happened at Richmond, Hamlin was looking to chill and clear his head with some golf before race day rolled around.

But his plans got twisted up because of some timing tangles! Spilling the beans to Jared Allen on his podcast, Hamlin was like, “I had an opportunity [to go to the golf course]. Did I go to the golf course? no!” Turns out, his fiancée, Jordan Fish, took the car that he intended to go in. Hamlin darted back to the bus after practice and qualifying, only to find the car – and his golf clubs – gone. Jordan had taken off to grab some Easter goodies for the kids.

So, when Hamlin hit up Jordan Fish asking why she took the car knowing he was planning to hit the links, she mentioned thinking he meant he’d tee off at 1:30.  And Hamlin exasperatedly highlighted how that’s just not the way things work, and clearly why he’s late to everything.

Hamlin was literally geared up in his golf shoes, ready to roll. But instead, he ended up simply kicking back to watch some racing and thought he’d just go on Sunday morning. He didn’t want to miss his Fox interview at 6:30 pm, and by then, he had kinda lost the itch to swing the clubs anyway.

Well, at least, the weekend wasn’t a total bust. Hamlin had his second win of the season at Richmond, inching closer to that sweet “60” wins goal. Looks like that’s the legacy he’s shooting for as of now.

#11’s not aiming to be the bad guy of NASCAR?

After winning at Bristol and Richmond this year, instead of firing back at the boos, Hamlin has been all chill, tipping his hat to his team and crew for their ace work. So, when the press hit him up about how he wants folks to remember him a couple of decades from now, Hamlin kept it simple.

He just wants to be seen as a driver who could win on any kind of track. He’s not much for pondering his legacy or anything, but he’s hoping to leave some records behind that’ll stick around for a good while. Hamlin asserted that he just wants to be respected. “Just someone who could win at all types of racetracks. I haven’t really thought about it from, ‘What happens long after you’re gone?’ But you hope to set marks and records that stand for a long time.” 

Right now, Hamlin’s got his sights set on hitting that 60-win milestone as quickly as he can. With only a bunch of races left this season, getting to 60 wins ain’t going to be easy. But if anyone’s got the chops to pull off something big, it’s Hamlin and his #11 squad at JGR.
