NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin has a reserve driver in place for Sunday’s race at Nashville Superspeedway
This weekend, NASCAR is racing at Nashville Superspeedway. The NASCAR Cup Series race is scheduled for tomorrow.
Denny Hamlin, driver of the No. 11 car and Jordan Fish have two children. A third child is on the way.
The two have been engaged since 2024.
Their third child is expected this weekend, specifically on Sunday. Hamlin stated this weekend that he will not race if the baby comes within the window of the race.
He expects to make that decision tomorrow, before the race. However, the deadline is not confirmed on when he will make that decision.
Ryan Truex is on standby and prepared to jump into the No. 11 as the reserve driver if Hamlin elects to skip tomorrow’s race.
With 2 race wins in 2025, Hamlin has already qualified for the 2025 playoffs.
However, in order to qualify for the NASCAR Playoffs, drivers are required to run every points race. NASCAR does hand out waivers for medical reasons.
In this case, Hamlin would be granted a waiver and remain eligible for the playoffs.
