TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) - NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin has been
released from a hospital following Sunday's hard crash at Talladega
Superspeedway. Hamlin was kept overnight for observation after his
car slammed into a retaining wall. He was alert and awake when he
was transported to the hospital Sunday, but was complaining of a
headache and possibly had a concussion.
Hamlin was leading midway through the race when his right front
tire failed and his Toyota shot into the outside wall. He finished
39th in the race and fell to 12th in the Chase standings.
