Denny Hamlin and his girlfriend Jordan Fish welcomed their first child into the world on Sunday January 20^th. Hamlin announced the birth of their baby girl by sending out a tweet with a picture earlier today. Hamlin said Taylor James Hamlin was born at 8:20 PM January 20^th weighing 6 pounds, eight ounces and 20 inches in height.  Hamlin said that Taylor and Jordan are doing well.

Hamlin only participated in one day of Daytona testing two weeks ago because of the potential birth of his daughter.  But Taylor didn’t arrive until this past weekend. Hamlin’s No.11 team had Michael McDowell in the car last week during the Charlotte test.

Hamlin and Joe Gibbs Racing are looking like early favorites to win the Sprint Cup. Hamlin and his team showed how strong they can be just before the Chase last season and Hamlin believes the No.11 team will be contending for the championship this season.

Hamlin will be excited to share success with his new daughter this season and that will be a motivational factor for Hamlin. Baby Taylor should be in victory lane with her father soon if Hamlin can start out the season strongly and earn some early season victories.

I began watching NASCAR in 2005 and feel in love ever since. My first favorite driver was Ryan Newman. My first ever race was at Dover International Speedway in the fall of 2005. That was a great experience for me. Since then I’ve attended New Hampshire Motor Speedway three times, Watkins Glen three times and Daytona for the 2009 Daytona 500. This coming August I’ll be attending my first Bristol race. NASCAR is a huge passion of mine. Within the past few years I’ve made a transition from fan to writer. I've written for many sites and have made my own. Writing is a huge passion of mine and I would like to continue watching the sport throughout my life.
