Is Denny Hamlin a fluke?

Is this kid impressive or what? I mean he was leading the first 39 laps, has a tire blow out on him sending him to the back of the field, has damage to the rear end because of the tire blow out and he comes from last place to finish winning the Pocono 500. The guy had a rocket for a car and noone could keep up with him. As Denny stated, he drove his car like it was on rails.

I am truly amazed at how well Denny is performing this year. He has a great tutor in Tony Stewart along with a talented teammate in JJ Yeley. Joe Gibbs really knows how to spot talented drivers. To think this kid was watching the races from the stands just 2 years ago and now he is driving for one of the top teams in the Nextel Cup. Denny's attitude is much like Carl Edwards where these guys really appreciate where they are at and how lucky they are to have a chance such as driving in the Nextel Cup. Too many of the young drivers just don't have that type of appreciation for the sport and exploit it.

Congratulations Denny on your first Nextel Cup win. It was great to see just about every driver after the checkered flag drive by Denny to congraluate him. He definitely is earning the respect from the veteran drivers. Maybe Kyle Busch should take some lessons.
