Denny Hamlin, driver of the No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing NASCAR Sprint Cup Toyota, was released this morning from the University of Alabama at Birmingham Hospital after spending the night there for observation following a crash Sunday at Talladega Superspeedway.
Following his lap-99 incident in the Amp Energy 500, Hamlin was taken to the track's infield care center and then taken by ambulance to Birmingham. He was kept overnight and released this morning to return home to North Carolina.
Hamlin had just led his ninth lap of the race when he lost his right-front tire in Turn 2, slid up the track and made heavy contact with the SAFER barrier.

Oct 7, 2008 at 4:48 AMLets not forget why Nascar was made every driver wear the HANS device and added the foam into the walls. It will save alot of lives and major injuries.

Oct 8, 2008 at 4:58 PMI always pray for the drivers before the race, even the ones I really really don't like. I have been praying especially for Denny these past couple days, he took quite the beating on Sunday. I am a little upset that I could not get ANY information on NASCAR.com about Denny's crash or condition. I am very glad to see he's okay, thank the Lord for protecting the drivers.
