“It’s also been neat for me to get to know Michael Jordan a little bit. It started in 2010, I believe. I kind of walked by him at halftime whenever I went to a little bar area behind the court. So he was there one time, and he actually stopped me to congratulate me on my race the previous week. I don’t know if we had won or been in contention to win. I was like, ‘You watch NASCAR?’ And he said, ‘Yeah, I watch it every single week.’ And he started asking me a couple questions like, ‘What about this guy? Was this is a good move when that guy did this?’ And I started thinking, ‘Wow. This guy actually knows what’s going on in our sport.” – Denny Hamlin
