Denny Hamlin Foundation earns third Bosch Aftermarket NA contribution of the season
In a spectacular late race restart, Denny Hamlin found his way to the finish line ahead of the field in Sunday’s NASCAR® Sprint Cup SeriesTM Race in Chicagoland. Driving his Bosch-equipped No. 11 FedEx Toyota, Hamlin claimed his third victory of the season and round one of the Chase. In recognition of the victory, Bosch Aftermarket NA is making its third $1,000 contribution of the year to the Denny Hamlin Foundation. To date this season, Bosch has contributed a total of $13,000 to the charities of Joe Gibbs Racing’s drivers.

The foundation partners with organizations that focus on cystic fibrosis research, treatment advances and overall quality-of-life care. The Foundation also helps children with other chronic illnesses. Beneficiaries of the Denny Hamlin Foundation include: Children’s Hospital of Richmond, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Medical University of South Carolina Children’s Hospital, The NASCAR Foundation and Victory Junction Gang Camp.
