With four race wins in the 2024 season so far, Denny Hamlin is aiming for the Cup Series Championship. The 43-year-old's fiancee Jordan Fish has shared a photo of them on her Instagram story, recounting their relationship milestones.
Starting his 20th Cup Series season, Hamlin is considered one of the most successful drivers in NASCAR. The three-time Daytona 500 and Southern 500 winner has amassed a total of 54 wins since 2005. This season, Hamlin is currently fourth in the drivers' standings with 683 points to his name, having recently finished second at The Great American Getaway 400.
The 43-year-old's fiancee Jordan Fish has shared a cute moment on her Instagram story to honor the couples week. The picture highlighted the milestones of their life, from their first meeting in 2008 to getting engaged and having kids.
Here's a look at the story:
Denny Hamlin first met Jordan Fish during a game of the Charlotte Hornets (Basketball) in 2008. The former was attending the event, while the latter was a cheerleader for the Hornets. They began dating later that year and have been together ever since.
The couple welcomed their two daughters, Taylor in 2013 and Molly in 2017. Despite being together for over a decade, the couple split for a brief period in 2021. However, after sorting out the difference, Jordan moved back with Denny.
A look at Denny Hamlin's race wins in the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season with Joe Gibbs Racing so far
After missing out on the Playoff finale in 2023, NASCAR's future Hall of Famer Denny Hamlin seemed determined to make amends in the 2024 Cup Series season. Driving the #11 Toyota Camry for Joe Gibbs Racing, he started the season on a high note.
After snatching a late lead in the Busch Light Clash at the LA Memorial Coliseum, Hamlin clinched his first victory of the season from Kyle Busch and Ryan Blaney. His second highlight for 2024 came at Bristol Motor Speedway, where the Virginia-based racer won the Ford City 500 race, holding back his fast-advancing teammate Martin Truex Jr. in the closing stages.
Hamlin took the top podium step for the third time in the Toyota Owners 400 race at Richmond Raceway. This time around, it was a well-timed pit stop at the closing stages that saw the 44-year-old driver grab the lead and eventually win during a two-lap overtime shootout against Joey Logano and Kyle Larson.
In a similar situation to Bristol, Denny Hamlin battled hard against the current championship leader Larson in the closing moment of the Würth 400 race at Dover Motor Speedway. He grabbed his fourth victory from the Hendrick Motorsports driver by just 0.256 seconds on the last lap.
As of now, Hamlin has amassed 683 points in the regular championship and is currently 20 points behind table-topper Kyle Larson. The 43-year-old has 20 playoff points to his name so far.
