If #11-Denny Hamlin, who has a birthday today (Nov 18th), wins the Ford EcoBoost 400 Sprint Cup Series race at Homestead-Miami Speedway, he would be only the third driver to ever win a Sprint Cup Series race on their birthday. The others are Hall of Fame driver Cale Yarborough wo won twice on his birthday (March 27) at North Wilksboro Speedway in 1977 and Atlanta Motor Speedway in 1983. Kyle Busch became the second driver to win on their birthday, winning on May 2, 2009 at Richmond. FYI: Richard Petty never won a Cup race on his birthday [July 2nd] and neither did Jeff Gordon [August 4th].(11-18-2012)
