Rookie Takes Pocono

Denny Hamlin

Denny Hamlin is quickly becoming the talk of the town in NASCAR.  Hamlin who is only a rookie won the Pocono 500 yesterday at Pocono Raceway.  Hamlin was able to hold off teammate Tony Stewart on the way to the checkered flag and only laps after a scary accident involving Jeff Gordon who was in contention.  Gordon’s brakes failed and he literally hit the wall full speed ahead.  It took some time before Gordon popped out of his car and he said later it was one of the hardest hits he was ever involved in.
