The arrival was celebrated both online and within their close family, spotlighting the excitement for Hamlin and his loved ones since Jameson’s birth on June 11, 2025.
Celebrating Jameson Drew Hamlin’s First Month

In her poignant reaction, Jordan wrote, “I am not okay.” The sentimental post reflects how quickly the month has passed for her as a new parent once again.
Denny Hamlin, who races for Joe Gibbs Racing, shared his own excitement about the birth through a heartfelt post. He stated:

Jameson joins a loving family, with his two older sisters, Taylor James Hamlin, born in 2013, and Molly Gold, born in 2017. Denny Hamlin and Jordan Fish have been together since 2007, and despite not being married yet, the couple looks forward to their future—especially since Hamlin proposed to Jordan during a family getaway in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, in January 2024.
Meaning Behind the Name: A Tribute to Racing Influences
During a pre-race interview before the Pocono event, Denny Hamlin explained how they chose the name Jameson Drew Hamlin. He shared the sentimental decision behind each part of the name, highlighting ties to those who played important roles in his racing career. Hamlin explained:
“I’m James, so that’s James’ son, Jameson. And Drew—we wanted to keep JD because, obviously, JD Gibbs is a big, big part of my getting here to the Cup Series. James Dean was the car owner I drove for in late models that got me the equipment to win all those races to get seen by JD. I’m JD, and so we’re just keeping it going.”

The choice honors both family tradition and influential mentors, blending Hamlin’s personal history with his professional journey in racing.
Denny Hamlin Shares Thoughts on Future Street Race Locations
While the family celebrated Jameson’s milestone, Denny Hamlin also weighed in on rumors that Chicago could be replaced as the host city for the NASCAR street race. With the current contract for Chicago’s street race nearing its end, other cities like San Diego are reportedly being considered as alternatives. Chicago remains the only city to feature a street race in the Cup Series calendar, making the discussion particularly significant for the racing community and local fans.
Hamlin expressed his preference for keeping the race in Chicago, praising the layout and the impact of the event. He commented during a media session:
“This is certainly a well-designed street race. Obviously, you have some, you know, really great passing zones. That’s the most important thing is, you know, we it’s one thing to try kind of parade around a city. It’s another to actually have a racetrack that you can race at and pass at.”
—Denny Hamlin, NASCAR Driver
The racer pointed out that the Chicago street course stands out for its blend of competitiveness and location, while emphasizing its broader influence. He further said:
“I personally would like to see them do everything they can to keep it here. I can just tell you that non-racing fans at the hotel I’m staying at are talking about the race and so I think that it’s certainly got some sort of economical impact to the city itself…I still would like to see, you know, Chicagoland is not a substitute for this race, I’d like to see us run both.”

Hamlin’s remarks highlight both his attachment to the city and his awareness of how the event resonates beyond racing, with economic and cultural benefits for Chicago and its residents.
