Denny Hamlin’s biggest, smallest fan joyous after his favorite driver wins

Two weeks ago, a young NASCAR fan was inconsolable. Jaxson Hathaway's favorite driver didn't win at Auto Club Speedway, and he had the kind of reaction that you might expect from a child who doesn't get his way. His mom tweeted at Denny Hamlin just so he would know. https://twitter.com/eliza_goddin/status/1107412772315455488 Jaxson's mom, Elizabeth, tweeted a screenshot of the text describing her son's crying, and his father, Jay Hathaway, added a short video of their son sulking after Kyle Busch found Victory Lane in Southern California. "No fair!" Jaxson exclaims. https://twitter.com/tolkienkid/status/1107626836656357376 Hamlin saw the tweets and made a promise: His next win would be for Jaxson. https://twitter.com/dennyhamlin/status/1107693722249113600 Well, guess who was bouncing around with joy after Hamlin triumphed in Texas? https://twitter.com/tolkienkid/status/1112491296667680771 It seems Hamlin earned two big wins Sunday. https://twitter.com/dennyhamlin/status/1112508741671370752 And there's one more precious postscript: https://twitter.com/tolkienkid/status/1112514176214331394
