Following up an impressive third place finish in the ARCA Remax Series finale at Talladega, Denny Hamlin will take the wheel of the Joe Gibbs Racing #18 Busch Series car this weekend at the famed Darlington Raceway. This will be another first for Denny, who has made an impressive series of debuts this season as a Joe Gibbs Racing developmental driver. Denny scored a top 10 finish in his NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series debut this summer at Indianapolis Raceway Park. He followed up that impressive debut with a third place finish in his first ever ARCA Remax Series race at Talladega this fall. Taking advantage of an off weekend for the #18 Vigoro / Home Depot Chevrolet piloted by J.J. Yeley, Joe Gibbs Racing decided to give Denny some seat time in a Busch car.(JGR Site)(11-11-2004)
