Denny Hamlin, driver of the No. 11 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing, spent Thursday volunteering at the L.A. Regional Foodbank. He packed boxes of food and his team donated a Toyota Prius to the Foodbank.
"It was really special to go out there and I think we prepared 1,200 meals Thursday afternoon for the food bank to underprivileged persons," Hamlin said Friday at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana. "We were able to give away a Toyota Prius for the third time this year. We did one in Boston, one in Indianapolis and one here in L.A. For gas prices going up as much as they are, it was good to giveaway a hybrid vehicle to help deliver all these packages. FedEx delivers every day and those guys deliver everyday and we're just trying to help them the best we can to get all those packages and meals out. It was definitely a great experience to see that. The L.A. food bank does so much for their community that we felt like they deserve to get something back. By donating that Toyota Prius it was an honor for us."
