The NASCAR family is teaming up to support Denny Hamlin<\/a> after his father died in a house fire … with the organization offering support and its condolences to him and his loved ones.<\/p>\n

The car racing giant released an emotional statement on Tuesday in reaction to the news that Dennis Hamlin, 75, passed away after suffering injuries from a blaze at a home in Stanley, North Carolina. Denny’s mother, Mary Lou, was also critically injured in the tragedy.<\/p>\n

The Gaston County Emergency Management and Fire Services said they, along with several other fire agencies, were dispatched at 6:19 PM on Sunday to a two-story home that was engulfed in flames<\/a>.<\/p>\n
