Richmond Raceway has honored Denny Hamlin with an emotional gesture, just before the NASCAR Cup race that will take place this Saturday. The track, which has been a second home for Hamlin since his childhood in Virginia, has decided to reserve two seats in the stands in honor of his family.
In a message shared on social media, Hamlin expressed his gratitude and recalled the moments spent with his parents in those seats in the Commonwealth section, row 11, seats 10-11. ‘My mom and dad have spent years in those seats,’ he wrote emotionally.
This tribute comes at a delicate time for the family, who are still mourning the loss of Denny’s father, Dennis, who died in a house fire in North Carolina in December 2025. Hamlin, who has won five times at Richmond, expressed his gratitude towards the track’s president, Lori Collier Waran, for this well-deserved recognition.
Currently, Hamlin leads the Cup Series standings with three races to go before the start of the Chase, adding more significance to this emotional celebration at his home.
