NASCAR’s Denny Hamlin was hospitalized overnight after being airlifted to a hospital after a hard single-car crash on final lap of Sunday’s Auto Club 400. Hamlin was awake and alert in the infield care center before being transported, but was taken to a hospital after complaining of lower back pain. A helicopter was used due to post-race traffic. Denny Hamlin Crash The scary incident happened as Hamlin was helped from his car after the hard hit and seemed to collapse outside his car after he had pulled the net down. Hamlin’s girlfriend, Jordan Fish, tweeted on Sunday night: “Thank u everyone for your messages concerning Denny. Darian is keeping us posted.” “He’s alert n awake, main concern is his back #PrayersforDH” Joey Logano and Hamlin, who have traded barbs since the season opening Daytona 500, battled side by side, bumping and passing in the closing laps. They were drag racing down the backstretch, but Logano went into the outside wall, Hamlin went into the inside wall and Kyle Busch sailed by for the win. “After what happened last week, that’s what (Hamlin) gets,” Logano said after the race. “We have nothing to hang our heads about, that’s for sure.”

Usain Bolt in the 200: Did He Double Up?

Posted on August 9, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

He did it in 2008 in Beijing. Could Usain Bolt pull off the feat again in London? A few days after his masterful performance in the 100 Meters , Usain Bolt took to the track again today and attempted to become the first sprinter in history to earn Gold in both the 100 and 200 in back-to-back Olympics. Read on to learn if he had reason to celebrate… YES! Bolt once again blew the field away, leading a Jamaican sweep of the top three spots by finishing in 19.32 seconds. Yohan Blake and Warren Weir took second and third, respectively. The lightening quick athlete can now equal his performance from four years ago if he leads his country to Gold in the 4X100 relay. Do you dare doubt that he will? Said Bolt after the race, while acknowledging his respect for Michael Johnson: “I’m now a legend. I’m also the greatest athlete to live.”

Oscar Pistorius Twitter Photo: The Most Inspirational, Moving Image Ever?

Posted on August 6, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Oscar Pistorius of South Africa may not have captured a medal at the London Olympics, but you’d be hard pressed to find a bigger winner at the games, or in life. This photo surfacing Sunday on Twitter proves it 1,000 times over. It’s an older image, but it resurfaced after Pistorius raced in the 400-meter semifinals. What Oscar Pistorius , a double amputee, did this week is immeasurable. Because of him, Ellie Challs, the young girl he is seen racing here, can look up to a man who faced the same obstacles as her but refuse to accept limits: Pistorius, nicknamed the Blade Runner after his cutting-edge prosthetic sprinting legs, inspired more than fellow amputees with his effort at the Olympics. Though he didn’t make the final, he did run well enough to make the semis and held his own against the best in the world in his track and field event. Kirani James, the man who won the semifinal Pistorius ran in, was so moved that after the race, he held up the nameplate from Pistorius’ uniform to the crowd.

Katie Ledecky, 15, Strikes Gold in Freestyle

Posted on August 4, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Katie Ledecky is 15 years old. But she isn’t shrieking over Justin Bieber or worried about the split of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart . At least not at the moment. She’s celebrating an Olympic Gold Medal! The high school sophomore, who makes Missy Franklin seem over the hill, kicked her way to a victory in the 800-meter freestyle yesterday, winning with a time of 8 minutes, 15.63 seconds. That’s an American record. “I didn’t really expect gold, but I’ll take it,” Ledecky said soon after the race, which enabled her to become the second-youngest American woman to win individual Gold. Ledecky said she grew inspired by what Franklin and Michael Phelps accomplished, using those two champions as role models prior to her only event of the Games. “I got really pumped up when I saw that Missy and Michael had really good swims,” Katie, a Maryland native, said. “I was ready to scream when I saw Missy’s race, but I kept it to myself and used it as extra energy.” And, girl, did it ever work.
