For those of you who have no clue about what I'm talking about, the Bristol night race was once one of the hardest sporting event tickets to get in the WORLD. It should be on every sport fan's bucket list. Picture a NFL Stadium that holds twice as many fans w/ a half mile track in the middle. I have been twice - once w/ my wife (girlfriend at the time) and the other for a bachelor party. I'll be sure to post about that one at some point.
Bristol Motor Speedway
Let's get back to Denny Hamlin and him being in the NASCAR media for three consecutive weeks:
post Phoenix International Raceway race: he made comments that were detrimental to NASCAR and was fined $25,000 - he tells NASCAR he won't pay the fine
“I don't want to be the pessimist, but it did not race as good as our generation five cars.”
post Las Vegas Motor Speedway race: he decides that he won't appeal the fine so NASCAR makes the decision to garner his wages
back to Bristol race: he takes out former teammate Joey Logano and the two start a "twitter battle" with each other (oh my how times have changed since NASCAR drivers used to use their fists to fight instead of their fingers to type)
So now NASCAR is at Auto Club Speedway and Denny Hamlin manages to win the pole so the media will be talking about him until at least tomorrow around 3:19PM ET when the green flag drops.
The question is, "What will Denny do to stay atop the NASCAR buzz for the next two weeks?" It has to be something big since the series takes next week off for Easter weekend. He'll be one of the favorites when the series gets back to racing at Martinsville in two weeks.
