Does anyone know Denny Hamlin's middle name?

[edit] Lobster phobia

User:12.150.188.100 added this anecdote to the lead:

Denny has a very adorable fear of lobsters which recently came into play when Kevin Harvick placed one in the toilet of his motor coach. Ever the resourceful one, Denny promply called his mother who remedied the situation.

I was about to revert it as nonsense, but it appears that it's a true story, according to an ESPN-hosted weblog (which, being written by a reputable ESPN staffer, should carry enough reputability weight):

It definitely doesn't belong in the lead, and "very adorable" is POV, but I don't see another good place to put it (since the article is pretty sparse right now). It seems reasonable for addition in the article if it can be worked into anything other than a trivia section. Tlesher 15:00, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Copyrighted Material?

I'm concerned that the itemized history (1988-2004) is lifted directly from theJoe Gibbs Racing web site. - Thaimoss 19:00, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Good catch. You're absolutely right. The article still needs cleanup though. --D-Day 19:18, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Budweiser Shootout Gatorade Duels

The Budweiser Shootout is an exhibition race it doesn't count to your win total. The same thing applies to the Gatorade Duels. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gordon24fan (talk • contribs) 23:48, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
