“Back when I was racing late models, we used to eat at a Denny’s in Virginia every Saturday night. My mom still remembers the name of the waitress,” said Denny Hamlin. “Denny's has been a big part of my family through the years, so I'm really excited about this partnership.”
Since Hamlin loves Denny’s so much, “Denny’s Denny’s” was built exclusively for him to ensure he has his favorite diner wherever he goes.

Fans can stop by “Denny’s Denny’s” during the races where Hamlin will appear at select times to hand out signed autographs and various giveaways.
“Denny Hamlin is as intrinsic to the NASCAR® culture as the Grand Slam® is to ours, so it was only a matter of time before we combined two all-American favorites,” said John Dillon, @DillonJohnW, chief marketing officer for Denny’s. “Given Denny is such a huge fan of our restaurant, we wanted to build ‘Denny’s Denny’s’ to make sure that both his fans and our guests could get in on the action, whether they are dining with us or watching him at the tracks this summer.”
To commemorate their “Denny’s Denny’s” visit, fans can swap selfies for a diner “boothie” by posing for a photo inside “Denny’s Denny’s” and superimposing images of Hamlin by their side. Once complete, each “boothie” can be shared with family and friends via their social channels.
