Denny Hamlin, driver of the #11 FedEx Toyota Camry for Joe Gibbs Racing was released this morning from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Hospital after spending the night for observation.

Following his lap 99-incident in yesterday’s NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Talladega Superspeedway, Hamlin was taken to the track’s infield care center then transported by ambulance to Birmingham. He was kept overnight at UAB and released this morning to return home to North Carolina.

Hamlin had just lead his ninth lap of the race when he lost his right-front tire in turn two, slid up the track and made heavy contact with the SAFER barrier.
