Today’s guest is driver of No. 11 FedEx Express Chevrolet, Denny Hamlin. Last year Denny was the Raybestos Rookie of the Year, and this year he’s had a strong follow-up thus far. He comes into Richmond 5th in the series points.

Denny, I know the season is going very well for you right now, but maybe if we could start off, I understand you’re going to have a little special helmet going this weekend. It’s all a part – it’s all a part of benefiting a very good cause.

DENNY HAMLIN: Yeah, definitely. FedEx Racing is doing a new program this year called “Where Your Heart on Your Helmet Campaign. “ And we are going to be visiting 11 different cities this year and in each one of these cities we’re going to be going to various children’s hospitals and donating $25,000 to each. We are trying to get these kids who can’t really go to the racetrack, you know, because of their illness or what-have-you, and trying to bring the racetrack to them.
