Denny Hamlin Tears ACL Playing Hoops -- Motorsports FanHouse

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Denny Hamlin has a torn knee ligament and won't have surgery to repair it until after the upcoming NASCAR season.

Hamlin says he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee playing basketball on Friday. The injury was first reported by ESPN.com after Hamlin pulled out of a skills competition for NASCAR drivers hosted by the NBA's Charlotte Bobcats.

Hamlin had surgery in December on his right knee, and the new injury is unrelated.

Hamlin is the popular preseason pick to unseat four-time defending champion Jimmie Johnson this year. He won two of the final 10 races last year, including the season finale.

The NASCAR season begins next month at Daytona International Speedway

Hopefully this will not prevent him from DETHRONING Johnson and the 48 car! Denny , Kyle Busch and Joey Logano are the chosen ones to destroy the evil empire of Hendrick domination of Nascar !:killingme:killingme

:howdy: You might want to think twice on that , Denny finished strong and I think JGR , Mike Ford and that 11 team might just do it!:yahoo:

Hamlin will do something stupid to screw himself out of contention like he always does. :yay:

Not to mention, Bad Brad Keselowski's gonna be in Cup next year. :yahoo: Hamlin's got his hands full:killingme

Driving without an ACL really isn't a big deal. Once the swelling goes down, he should be able to rehab and get his knee back almost fully healthy within just a few weeks. Obviously he won't be lacing up the cleats and going and playing football anytime soon, but this should hamper his driving ability whatsoever. (Speaking from experience)
