#56-Martin Truex Jr. wasnt the only NASCAR driver to injure his hand during a multi-car crash at Bristol Motor Speedway last weekend. #11-Denny Hamlin told Sirius/XMs Dialed In show that he caught his right hand in the steering wheel and hurt it in the same wreck that broke Truexs wrist with 52 laps to go. Hamlin said hes currently wearing a splint on his thumb, which is black and blue, but expected the injury to heal within two weeks. ‘I couldnt get my finger out of the wheel quick enough before it spun, and it obviously took some ligaments with it’ Hamlin said. ‘I feel this pain, and its going to be tough. I tested on Monday and Tuesday at Chicago, and I couldnt put my thumb on the wheel.” Joe Gibbs Racing spokesman Chris Helein says Hamlins hand is ‘just sprained” and is unsure whether Hamlin will wear a splint during the race at Atlanta Motor Speedway on Sunday night.( USA Today )
