#11-Denny Hamlin had minor knee surgery planned for the end of this season, but delayed the procedure after booking a suite with a basketball court inside of it for his stay in Las Vegas. Since arriving Tuesday evening, Hamlin said he and his friends have gotten in at least three games a day on the court. His surgery will be Dec. 16. “I moved my surgery back because I had this reserved for the last two months,” he said. “It was scheduled for last week, and I thought there would be no point in it. I moved my surgery back to accommodate my hotel room in Vegas, so I’m trying to get all the ball in that I can since I’m going to be out for a month.”(Associated Press)
AND Also in regards to Hamlin, he gave out four tickets for each race to this season. All fans had to do was go to his website and explain why they should get his tickets for a particular race. Hamlin said the web site got more than 20,000 entries. He said he will continue to offer tickets to fans again next year. He also says that some tracks are joining in and matching or adding to Hamlin’s gift to fans.(Virginian Pilot)(12-4-2009)
