Hamlin overcomes grief to win NASCAR race at Pocono Raceway

LONG POND, Pa. — Denny Hamlin had few bigger fans than his grandmother. She wore her No. 11 socks, held her No. 11 stuffed bear, and watched every race on TV — even as she sat and squinted only inches away from the 30-inch screen.When Thelma Clark died last week at 91, there was a part of Hamlin that didn’t want to be at the track.With a heavy heart, Hamlin came to Pocono Raceway and snapped a 50-race winless skid.
