FedEx Racing - Commitment to Community
®
Since its founding in 2005, the FedEx Racing program has made a commitment to community service a priority and
team hallmark. Through national initiatives with the March of Dimes, The Salvation Army and the American Red
Cross, and cooperation with local human service organizations, FedEx Racing has touched the lives of thousands
of individuals and offered much-needed support in the form of charitable contributions and the volunteerism of
FedEx team members.
2015: The #11 team helped FedEx celebrate
a variety of charitable organizations during
the 2015 season. As part of the FedEx 400
benefitting Autism Speaks weekend at
Dover International Speedway in May,
Denny Hamlin drove a special #11 FedEx
Cares paint scheme that highlighted
10 organizations: American Red Cross,
Autism Speaks, Direct Relief, March of
Dimes, Safe Kids, Junior Achievement,
United Negro College Fund, FIRST, Arbor
Day Foundation and St. Jude Children’s
Research Hospital. In the fall, Hamlin
visited Memphis and teamed up with the
NBA’s Grizzlies point guard — and fellow
#11 — Mike Conley for a basketball
Denny visited children at the Target House in Memphis, part of
shooting contest on Veteran’s Day to raise
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
money for the USO. Hamlin also stopped by
the Target House, a long-term housing facility in the St. Jude network, to meet with children for a fun afternoon of
painting. Hamlin donated $11,000 to St. Jude through the Denny Hamlin Foundation as part of the program.
2014: 2014 marked the seventh consecutive
season that Hamlin and the FedEx Racing Team
raised awareness for the March of Dimes and March
for Babies initiatives. The special #11 FedEx Office
and March of Dimes paint scheme raced at Texas
Motor Speedway in April, and the team hosted 2014
March of Dimes national ambassador Aidan Lamothe
at the track. Additionally, during the fourth annual
FedEx 400 benefiting Autism Speaks at Dover,
Delaware, the entire #11 team filled a FedEx truck
full of toys from a nearby Toys “R” Us and donated
them to Autism Delaware for use during the race
weekend inside a special hospitality area designated
for families with children with autism. The toys were
selected from the Toys “R” Us “10 Toys that Speak to
Denny drove a street-legal #11 FedEx Toyota to deliver disaster
Autism” list that the company establishes each year preparedness kits to small businesses in Washington, D.C.
with Autism Speaks. FedEx also helped raise funds
for Autism Speaks through a special program allowing fans to have their names printed on the #11 FedEx
Freight and Autism Speaks Toyota for an $11 donation.
2013: Denny Hamlin and the FedEx Racing Team again used the NASCAR platform to raise awareness for
charitable organizations in 2013, including special #11 paint schemes for the March of Dimes at Texas in April and
Autism Speaks at Dover in June, in conjunction with the FedEx 400 benefiting Autism Speaks race weekend. In
September, the March of Dimes recognized Hamlin with its highest honor, the prestigious “Champion for Babies”
Award. Hamlin became just the fourth recipient of the award, joining Pro Football Hall of Famer Joe Namath, golf
legend Arnold Palmer and veteran broadcaster Greg Gumbel. Hamlin accepted the award at the March of Dimes
Volunteer Leadership Conference and Gala in Washington, D.C.

Joining with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the American Red Cross,
FedEx, Denny Hamlin and Joe Gibbs helped spread the message of disaster
preparedness around the annual America’s Small Business Summit. Speaking
to news media and small-business owners, Hamlin and Gibbs provided critical
information for small-business owners to better respond to emergencies and
ensure the safety of employees and customers.
The FedEx Racing Team helped rebuilding efforts in
Tuscaloosa, Ala., following the devastating tornado in 2011.
2012: The FedEx Racing Team highlighted immediate relief and ongoing
recovery efforts following major disasters that struck different parts of the
country. Prior to the race at Talladega, Alabama Superspeedway in May, Hamlin
and #11 FedEx crew members visited nearby Tuscaloosa, Ala., on the one-year
anniversary of the devastating tornadoes that ripped through the area in 2011.
FedEx helped donate and deliver appliances to the first house rebuilt in the
Alberta City neighborhood, and made a $10,000 donation to the local chapter
of The Salvation Army.
In the fall, Superstorm Sandy caused extensive damage along the East Coast, including major flooding and power outages in
New York City and surrounding areas. In addition to the tireless efforts of FedEx team members, who volunteered their time to
get much-needed supplies into the area, Hamlin and the #11 crew flew into Newark, N.J., prior to NASCAR’s season finale at
Homestead-Miami Speedway, to pitch in. The team helped unload a truck full of supplies donated by FedEx to the Community
FoodBank of New Jersey, volunteered at the facility and delivered a truck full of frozen turkeys to a food shelter in the area
one week before Thanksgiving.
Also during the NASCAR season, FedEx helped raise awareness for the March of Dimes with a special #11 FedEx Office/
March of Dimes paint scheme at Texas in April, and Autism Speaks through its title sponsorship of the FedEx 400 benefitting
Autism Speaks at Dover (Del.) International Speedway in June.
2011: Disaster preparedness was again the program’s focus in 2011, as the “Race to Prepare” initiative reached local
communities near San Francisco, Louisville, Kansas City and Dallas. FedEx made $10,000 donations to each of the local chapters
of the American Red Cross in those markets, and to date,
more than 1,000 children have participated in the
program. At Texas Motor Speedway in April, Hamlin
ran a specially designed #11 FedEx and March of Dimes
Toyota to raise awareness for the organization. The car
was designed by Dallas-area twins and healthy survivors
of the March of Dimes program, who traveled to Joe Gibbs
Racing in Huntersville, N.C., and with the help of Denny
Hamlin, designed the car from a blank white canvas.
Denny and the #11 team raised awareness for the March of Dimes
at Texas Motor Speedway.
2009/2010: With disaster relief and preparedness as the
program’s focus, Hamlin and the #11 team joined FedEx
to present new Disaster Response Units to the Salvation
Army chapters in Washington, D.C. and Boston, and then
worked with the American Red Cross for “Race to
Prepare” workshops with school-aged children in
Indianapolis, Richmond, Philadelphia, Chicago and
Atlanta. The events focused attention on the simple
steps families can take to prepare themselves for
disasters of all types, while featuring fun racingthemed activities.
2010 also marked another year working with the March of Dimes. In addition to racing a special #11 March of Dimes Toyota
at Phoenix International Raceway in April, FedEx and Hamlin worked to raise awareness for the March of Dimes by
encouraging financial support of the March for Babies walks.
5
2008: FedEx supported community service agencies
in Boston, Washington D.C., Indianapolis and Los
Angeles to assist with their mission of providing food
to those in need. Denny Hamlin and the #11 FedEx
Racing Team delivered new Toyota Prius hybrid
vehicles to the agencies on behalf of FedEx, enabling
them to more efficiently serve their community
while supporting a continued commitment to new
technologies. Each visit also brought large groups
of FedEx team members who volunteered their time
to assist the groups.
“Wear Your Heart on Your Helmet” supported the
Make-A-Wish Foundation and St. Jude.
Also in 2008, FedEx Racing teamed up with the March
of Dimes to support the annual March for Babies. After
a kick-off event in Dallas, Hamlin raced a special #11
March of Dimes paint scheme in Phoenix. The event
raised awareness and funds for the organization.
2007: The FedEx commitment to children’s health initiatives came to life in the form of the FedEx “Wear Your Heart
on Your Helmet” program. Over the course of the season, FedEx worked with children’s hospitals in seven NASCAR
race markets, and also with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, to find patients interested in designing the race helmet
Denny Hamlin would wear in 11 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races.
The creativity of the children led to great designs
that renowned helmet designer Jason Beam then
transferred onto the helmets Hamlin wore on the race
track. Following the season, all 11 race-worn helmets
were put up for auction and cumulatively raised
more than $20,000 to benefit St. Jude Children’s
Research Hospital in Memphis.
By season’s end, Hamlin and the FedEx team had
visited children’s hospitals in Los Angeles, Richmond,
Dallas, Boston, Chicago and Kansas City while meeting
with Make-A-Wish program participants at several
races throughout the season. FedEx generously
presented each participating hospital with a
donation of $25,000, and presented the Make-A-Wish
Foundation with a donation of $50,000.
Denny raced slot cars with children in various race markets.
2006: Denny Hamlin and the FedEx Racing Team made special deliveries to five children’s hospitals, where Hamlin was
presented with specially designed helmets for him to wear in Cup Series races in the hospital’s home market. In addition
to donations on behalf of FedEx for $25,000, the events featured activities for the patients and staff.

Denny Hamlin – Biography
Denny Hamlin enters his 11th full season driving the #11 FedEx Toyota in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series in 2016, and welcomes
new crew chief Mike Wheeler to the fold this year.
Hamlin has won 26 races in 362 career starts at stock-car racing’s highest level, and has captured the checkered flag in
at least one race in 10 straight seasons since bursting onto the scene with two victories and ‘Rookie of the Year’ honors
in 2006. The 35-year-old Chesterfield, Va., native has made the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship
playoffs in nine of 10 years behind the wheel of the #11 car.
He won a pair of races in 2015, including his fifth-career victory at Martinsville (Va.)
Speedway and the Chase opener at Chicagoland Speedway, advancing to the Challenge
Round of the playoffs and finishing ninth in the final point standings. At Martinsville in
March, Hamlin held off a hard-charging Brad Keselowski to the finish line to clinch a
Chase berth. A late-race strategy call gave Hamlin a front row spot on the final restart,
and he motored past Jeff Gordon for the lead and win.
Hamlin was also victorious in the prestigious Sprint All-Star Race at Charlotte
Motor Speedway in May, captured three Coors Light pole awards and tied a
career-high with 20 top-10 finishes.
Hamlin had an up-and-down 2014 season that saw advance all the way to the
Championship 4 at Homestead-Miami Speedway in the new, knockout-style
Chase format.
Hamlin started the season off strong, with back-to-back wins in a pair of exhibition
restrictor plate races at Daytona International Speedway. First, he led in every
segment and held off the field in the Sprint Unlimited, his second victory in the
event (2006). He followed that up with a win in the Budweiser Duel qualifying race,
also his second (2008), which gave him a second row starting position in the
Daytona 500. Hamlin fell just one spot short of becoming the first driver to sweep
SpeedWeeks when he crossed the finish line second to Dale Earnhardt Jr. in the
‘Great American Race.’
Once the Sprint Cup Series got into the bulk of the schedule, the FedEx Racing Team
overcame many hurdles to position them for a Chase berth. Hamlin missed the race
at Auto Club (Calif.) Speedway in March after what was later discovered to be a
piece of metal in his eye, and during the summer, Hamlin and the team were docked
75 points for a rules infraction after finishing third at Indianapolis. However, the new
Chase format announced at the beginning of the year would include each race winner
from the regular season.
Denny Hamlin
Driver, #11 FedEx Toyota Camry
Birthdate: November 18, 1980
Hometown: Chesterfield, Va.
Resides: Mooresville, N.C.
Height: 6’0”
Weight: 160
That win came for Hamlin at Talladega Superspeedway in May. Despite a 34th-place starting position, Hamlin immediately
moved towards the front and led for the first time on Lap 32. In total, he led 12 of 188 laps, and held the lead when caution came
out for a wreck behind him, freezing the field and giving Hamlin his first-career points-paying restrictor plate victory.
In the new Chase format, the FedEx Racing Team embodied the “survive and advance” strategy to move on after each of
the three-race segments. The team got stronger as the Chase progressed, and as other drivers were eliminated during the
first nine weeks of the playoffs, Hamlin found himself among the final four competitors — alongside Kevin Harvick, Ryan
Newman and Joey Logano — vying for the 2014 crown. During a thrilling final race in South Florida, Hamlin led 50 of 267 laps,
and swapped places at the front of the field with each of the championship-contending drivers. During a caution with 15 laps
remaining, crew chief Darian Grubb elected to keep the #11 machine on the track while others pitted, moving the FedEx team up
to second for the ensuing restart.
Hamlin passed Jeff Gordon in Turn 2 for the lead on older tires, and needed the race to run green to the checkered flag in hopes
of holding off the hard-charging Harvick and Newman on fresher rubber. Unfortunately, a pair of late-race yellows foiled the
FedEx team’s strategy, and Hamlin was eventually gobbled up by drivers that pitted, finishing a disappointing seventh. Harvick
went on to win the race and the championship, followed by runner-up Newman. Hamlin finished third in the final point
standings, tied for his second-best season finish with his 2006 rookie year.

Hamlin and the FedEx team had a disappointing 2013 campaign that saw the Virginia native miss four races due to a back
injury and miss qualifying for the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship for the first time in his career.
The season did end on a positive note, as Hamlin was victorious in the finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway, extending his
number of consecutive seasons with at least one victory to eight. Hamlin also recorded a series-high five poles in 2013.
Hamlin suffered a fractured vertebra in a last-lap crash at Auto Club (Calif.) Speedway on March 24 and missed the following
four races, snapping his streak of 264 straight races in the #11 machine. He returned to action at Talladega (Ala.)
Superspeedway in May, driving the first 24 laps before giving way to substitute driver
Brian Vickers. Top-five finishes at Darlington (S.C.) and Charlotte in Hamlin’s first two
full races back gave the team optimism for a potential Chase ‘wild card’ berth, but a
long stretch of misfortune through the summer months dashed those hopes.
Hamlin tallied four top-five finishes and eight-top 10 results in 32 starts in 2013,
leading 363 laps and finishing 23rd in the final Sprint Cup Series point standings.
Hamlin enjoyed a rebound year in 2012, tying the series-high with five victories
in his first campaign with new crew chief Grubb. The duo got off to a fast start,
winning at Phoenix in just their second race together. Hamlin secured his second
victory at Kansas in April, the 199th NASCAR win for car #11, making it the
winningest number in series history after passing the famed #43.
Back-to-back wins at Bristol (Tenn.) and Atlanta at the end of the regular season
gave Hamlin and the FedEx team the top seed heading into the 10-race Chase playoff.
Hamlin scored one win (New Hampshire) and two runner-up finishes in the Chase to
end the season sixth in the final point standings.
Denny won the historic night race at Bristol
during a five-win season in 2012. – Bristol, 2012
Hamlin recorded three poles in 2012 — including at historic Indianapolis Motor Speedway — and his final win of the season at
New Hampshire was the 100th Cup Series victory for Joe Gibbs Racing.
In 2011, the #11 team’s lone win came at Michigan International Speedway in June, when a two-tire stop put Hamlin in front of
the pack for a late-race restart, and he was able to hold off Matt Kenseth en route to victory lane. The victory enabled Hamlin to
secure a ‘wild card’ berth in the Chase, and he finished ninth in the final standings.
Hamlin set the Cup Series alight in 2010, winning a series-high eight races and putting the FedEx Racing Team among the elite
in the garage. Winning frequently, and on a wide variety of tracks, Hamlin held the points lead heading into the Chase before
ultimately finishing second by the slimmest of margins. Season highlights included a late-race charge at Martinsville (Va.) that
elevated the #11 team to a serious contender after a slow start to the season, two signature wins on the high banks of Texas
Motor Speedway that helped stamp the team’s authority on the series, and emotional wins at both Pocono (Pa.) and Richmond.
The season was not without its fair share of drama off the track as well, as Hamlin fought through a serious knee injury and
subsequent surgery during the 36-race schedule.
The 2009 Sprint Cup Series season proved to be a coming of age campaign for Hamlin and the #11 team. A leadership role within
Joe Gibbs Racing and a desire to turn continued success into a championship saw Hamlin make a late-season charge to lock
up a spot in NASCAR’s post-season, but Chase wins at Martinsville and Homestead (Fla.) were ultimately negated by on-track
problems in Fontana (Calif.), Charlotte and Talladega. Hamlin finished the season fifth in the point standings, setting then-career
best marks for wins, top-five finishes and total laps led. His impressive victories on various circuits proved Hamlin and his team
were well positioned to be the primary challengers to reigning champion Jimmie Johnson moving forward.
The 2008 Sprint Cup season was, by any definition, a season of change. As Joe Gibbs Racing made the move to a new
manufacturer in Toyota, the Cup Series made the full-time move to the Car of Tomorrow, and Hamlin welcomed Kyle Busch as
a teammate, the #11 FedEx team was hoping that change would also come in the form of a series championship effort. Despite
making the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup in both 2006 and 2007, the onus was on the team to translate regular season
success into a charge down the stretch.
The spring race at Richmond International Raceway highlighted both the satisfaction of fully dominating an event and the
speed with which that dominance can be undone. Hamlin started the 400-lap event from the pole and led an impressive 381 laps
before a cut tire forced him to pit road with only 19 laps to go. A win on a cold, rainy day in Martinsville earned Hamlin his sole
Cup triumph of the season and a long-coveted Grandfather clock trophy. As Hamlin marched to his third consecutive Chase,
the team was hoping to avoid the letdown that marked the 2007 edition, but alas, it was not to be.

After a mechanical failure in Dover and a tremendous hit following a cut tire at Talladega, Hamlin was all but eliminated from
championship contention and finished the year in eighth place.
The 2007 season built on a wildly successful 2006 rookie campaign and helped solidify Hamlin and the #11 team’s status as a
perennial championship contender. Hamlin quickly allayed fears that he would fall victim to the dreaded “sophomore slump” by
kicking off the season with a string of solid results that catapulted him into the top-five in points.
Hamlin’s lone 2007 win came at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in July when a late-race two-tire change gave him the track
position he needed and the opportunity to hold off Jeff Gordon en route to victory lane. On several occasions in 2007, dominating
performances by Hamlin and the team were nullified by pit road mishaps, mechanical problems or penalties, yet the #11 team still
maintained championship aspirations and a place near the top of the standings. Hamlin posted 12 top-five finishes and 18 top-10
results throughout the year, but ultimately settled for 12th place in the final standings.
In 2006, Hamlin burst onto the scene with a win in the prestigious Budweiser Shootout
exhibition race at Daytona International Speedway, and carried that early momentum
into one of the most successful rookie campaigns in NASCAR history.
On his way to becoming the first – and still only – rookie to earn a spot in the Chase for
the championship, Hamlin posted his first career Cup Series victory in dominating style
at Pocono Raceway. He captured three pole awards, finished third in the final point
standings and earned 2006 “Rookie of the Year” honors.
Hamlin’s ascension to the highest levels of NASCAR came through a combination
of skill, perseverance, a little bit of luck and a knack for delivering strong
performances when given the opportunity. Each of Hamlin’s “debuts” has come
with caveats of additional opportunities (in the form of more races or permanent
employment) should he meet or beat expectations, and he has absolutely shone in
those instances. In his first NASCAR Truck Series race, Hamlin drove the Gibbs
Performance Chevrolet to a 10th-place finish at Indianapolis Raceway Park on
Aug. 6, 2004. Three months later, making his debut in the Busch (now Xfinity) Series
at Darlington Raceway, he recorded an eight-place finish for JGR.

only his fifth career start – Phoenix, Nov. 2005
With Hamlin on his way to a fifth-place finish in the standings during his rookie Busch Series campaign, he was offered the
unexpected opportunity to run the #11 FedEx Chevrolet at the end of the 2005 Cup Series season. Hamlin wasted no time in
displaying his talent, posting three top-10 finishes in seven starts and winning the pole in Phoenix. His performances over the
seven races he ran at the end of 2005 made him an easy choice to fill the seat of the #11 FedEx car for 2006.
In addition to his success at the Cup level, Hamlin has put together an impressive resume in the Xfinity Series. He made his debut
in 2004 and spent nearly three full seasons behind the wheel of the #20 Joe Gibbs Racing Chevrolet, before making the transition
to Toyotas for JGR, Braun Racing and CJM beginning in 2008. In 153 total starts, Hamlin has racked up 14 wins and 20 poles.
Hamlin now finds himself at the highest level of NASCAR, but he has been winning races since the age of seven when he began
his career racing karts in the Junior Sportsman League. From the kart tracks of Virginia to the Sprint Cup Series, Hamlin has
proved he can succeed at any level.
In 2000, he was named “Rookie of the Year” at Southside Speedway in Richmond, Va., posting 11 top-five finishes that year.
Just three years later, Hamlin celebrated his finest season in Late Models, recording 25 wins, 30 poles and 33 top-five finishes.
In 1997, at age 16, Hamlin hit the track for his first season driving a Mini Stock car. The year was a resounding success as Hamlin
became the youngest driver to win the NASCAR Mini Stock track championship at Langley (Va.) Speedway, and was named the
1997 NASCAR Mini Stock “Rookie of the Year.” He still holds the NASCAR Mini Stock record at Langley with a lap time of 18.025
seconds.
Hamlin was dominating in the Junior Restricted League at age 12, earning the titles Amelia Motor Raceway track champion
(junior restricted), Virginia Dirt Karting Association State Champion (Junior Champ) and World Karting Association Virginia
Dirt Series State Champion (Junior Champ). He finished his Kart career at age 15 with 127 feature wins and five championships
in three classes.
Away from the track, Hamlin stays active — whether playing golf, basketball or working out — and spending time with friends.
He remains a committed fan of Virginia Tech and the Washington Redskins, and can be found courtside for Charlotte Hornets
home games. Hamlin and longtime girlfriend Jordan Fish welcomed a daughter, Taylor, in January 2013.

Mike Wheeler – Biography
Mike Wheeler begins his first season at the helm of the #11 FedEx Racing Team in 2016.
The Southold, N.Y., native served as an engineer for the #11 car from 2005-2014 before a
promotion to the crew chief position of the #20 Xfinity Series Team for Joe Gibbs Racing
in 2015.
Wheeler has worked with Hamlin for nearly all of the duo’s tenure at Joe Gibbs Racing,
winning 24 races together at the Cup level. Wheeler spent six races as the interim crew
chief for the #11 car in the summer of 2014, and following that season, JGR elevated him
to the crew chief role on the successful #20 Xfinity program.
In 2015, Wheeler guided the #20 to four wins — three with Hamlin — and nine pole
positions, finishing fifth in the final Xfinity Series owner standings. Hamlin was
victorious in the car at Richmond, New Hampshire and Darlington, while Erik Jones
took the checkered flag at Texas Motor Speedway.
Wheeler started at Joe Gibbs Racing in 2002 as an engineer in the Busch (now Xfinity)
Series after a successul stint as a crew chief on the NASCAR Modified Tour in the
northeast. He was promoted to an engineering position in the Cup Series when the #11
FedEx Team was formed in 2005. He’s a 2002 graduate of Kettering (Mich.) University
with a degree in mechanical engineering.
Wheeler lives in Huntersville, N.C., with his wife Amy and young son, James.

Joe Gibbs Racing
Joe Gibbs
As owner of Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) and former head coach of the Washington
Redskins, Joe Gibbs has proven himself in two of the top sports in the United
States - the National Football League and NASCAR.
Gibbs, who won three Super Bowl titles during his first stint as Redskins coach
from 1981-1992, formed Joe Gibbs Racing in July 1991 with business partner
Don Meredith. Under Joe Gibbs’ ownership, JGR has won four series titles
(2000, 2002, 2005 and 2015), including last season with driver Kyle Busch.
JGR has also won the Daytona 500 with Dale Jarrett, four Brickyard 400
trophies and 128 Sprint Cup Series wins.
In addition to his Cup Championships and Super Bowl victories, Gibbs was
named NFL’s “Coach of the Year” in 1982, 1983 and 1991 and was inducted
into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1996. After returning the Redskins to
prominence in his second stint as head coach, he retired from coaching
in January 2008. He and his wife, Pat, reside in Cornelius, N.C
Joe Gibbs
J. D. Gibbs
When his father, and team owner, Joe Gibbs returned to the head coach
position with the Washington Redskins in 2004, all eyes focused on J.D. Gibbs,
who, as the new face of the organization, was charged with taking a championship
race team and raising it to even greater heights.
J.D. was named president of Joe Gibbs Racing in 2007, and has been instrumental
in building the team into one of NASCAR’s most competitive and respected
organizations. He helped guide the team to the 2005 Cup Series championship
with Tony Stewart, and helped assemble the organization’s third team in the form
of the #11 FedEx team that same year. In 2015, the organization welcomed a fourth
team with driver Carl Edwards.
J. D. Gibbs
J.D.’s commitment to his employees and the values of loyalty and hard work has
seen Joe Gibbs Racing grow in size as well. JGR now has more than 400 employees
at the state of the art race shop in Huntersville, N.C.
He resides in Davidson, N.C. with his wife, Melissa, and four sons.
