A powerful moment of camaraderie and shared triumph, Denny Hamlin also made his way to the iconic yard of bricks at Indianapolis Motor Speedway — not as the race winner this time, but in solidarity and celebration. Standing beside Bubba Wallace, his 23XI Racing driver, Hamlin knelt to kiss the historic bricks, symbolizing not only the tradition of racing but the bond between a team owner and his driver.
This gesture was more than ceremonial. It represented years of hard work, belief, and a shared mission that goes beyond just winning races. Hamlin, a veteran of the sport and co-owner of 23XI Racing alongside Michael Jordan, has played a pivotal role in creating opportunities and pushing boundaries within NASCAR. His presence at the bricks wasn’t just support — it was a statement. A reminder that victories, big or small, are shared from the pit box to the driver’s seat.
For Bubba Wallace, who has continually broken barriers and faced unique pressure, this moment was significant. And for Hamlin to be there, joining in the symbolic act of kissing the bricks, it showed just how unified their journey is.
