Denny Hamilin wins at Pocono

So Denny Hamlin went out today and did what he's done twice at Pocono already in his career, he won. I was at work in West Virginia listening to the race on the radio, and was going crazy the last 10 laps knowing Denny's 50 race winless streak was about to be over. Couple of thoughts, yesterday Denny was on the front page of ESPN.com as a potential winner, which was cool. Before that Denny guranteed victory this weekend. Then after the race to prove what a true fan I am, I learn that Denny's grandmother died on Friday, which I didn't know. I'm very proud to be a Denny fan today and the emotion he showed after the race was genuine and real. In case you missed it Denny was basically crying. It's pretty cool when guys let their guard down and let you into their personal lives a little bit. Denny also helped himself in the Chase standings moving from 6th in points to 5th, and being the only Joe Gibbs Racing member in the Chase, Kyle Busch is currently about 100 points out of 12th. Denny said after the race he thinks he's the best non-Hendrick motorsports car in the field right now, I agree. Those Hendrick boys, sans Jr. have it figured out and if anyone is gonna crash their party it's gonna be Denny. So congrats Denny on a great and needed win, and keep this momentum in the Chase. Also a few atta boys to Juan Pablo Montoya and Sam Hornish Jr. couple of open-wheel guys getting some top 5's today.
