Fans are the driving force of any sport. Without them, the promotion no matter how affluent they are will cease to exist. And NASCAR is one sport that caters to a large audience, making it the biggest racing promotion in North America. Despite its humble beginnings, the sport has grown out of its shell to be a juggernaut in its league. Unlike other racing series, NASCAR’s strength has always been the fans that come down to the track to have a first-hand feel of its “aggressive racing.” And guess what, now even you can have that experience courtesy of Joe Gibbs Racing driver Denny Hamlin‘s primary sponsor.
FedEx, the American conglomerate, has an interesting proposition exclusively for the avid race fan. Fans can now get a chance to win two VIP tickets and credentials to the NASCAR race to be held at Talladega Superspeedway in April along with the opportunity to meet the veteran himself.

In every sport, there are casual fans who are just in for the fun, seeing the entertainment value of it and jumping on board. On the other side is a sect of fans that religiously follow the sport and know the technicalities of it like no other. Unlike causals, these avid fans have developed a specific taste only because of their hours of investment, watching and following the sport.
NASCAR is home to such an ardent following that the die-hard fan will still make a trip to the track with their whole family, camping out there days before just to get that whole experience. And now, JGR veteran Denny Hamlin has dropped major news for the “ultimate fan”, giving away the “ultimate fan contest” organized by his larger-than-life sponsor, FedEx.
Just head to the FedEx website and show off your need for speed and you could win VIP NASCAR tickets, a meet & greet with Denny Hamlin, and see your name featured on the #11 FedEx car. Be sure to note that the entry closes on January 31st. Along with the meet and greet opportunity, fans will stand to win two VIP Tickets & credentials to the NASCAR races held at Talladega Superspeedway on April 21, 2024, Daytona International Speedway on August 24, 2024, and the championship decider at Phoenix Raceway on November 10, 2024.

Further, the driver revealed his most prized possession in his collection. In a nearly two-decades-long career, the veteran has collected numerous awards and accolades, including 51 race wins. However, for Hamlin, the one trophy is close to his heart besides any and that is the 2016 Daytona 500 trophy.
Though he has won the Great American Race a splendid three times, revealing his most prized possession, he said, “The most prestigious win of my career, it also ties back to my dream when I was in second grade and eight years old saying I wanted to win Daytona 500. This one, in Daytona 2016, meant the most. This is my most prized trophy by far.“
