FONTANA, Calif. -- Denny Hamlin has been diagnosed with a compression fracture in his lower back following a crash on the last lap of Sunday's Auto Club 400.

The compression fracture -- which occurs when a vertebrae in the spine collapses -- can occur in healthy people who suffer a vertical shock to the area.

Hamlin remained hospitalized near Auto Club Speedway on Monday, as he met with doctors to determine the extent of his injury. He wrecked while racing for the lead with rival Joey Logano, a former teammate who initiated the contact. Hamlin was airlifted to a hospital.

Nice job Logano.

I dont think it was intentional. He overdrove the corner and ran out of talent, then tried to play it off and act tough. The lil fuger has bought in to his own hype.

He doesn't even have hype anymore lol I wonder where all of those people who were calling him the next Jeff Gordon are now

Nah man, all season since he's been running halfway decent with Penske they've been saying how he's "turned the corner", and finally started hitting his potential.

In 5 races, Matt already has half as many wins in the 20 as he did in 150ish.

I thought mark was gonna drive the 11 while Hamlin was out and Vickers was gonna get a headstart with the 55 team. I know Gibbs had thought about Vickers for the 11 but waltrip wanted to keep him in the 55 since he's gonna take over for mark next year. I'm a Vickers fan and I would love to see him in a jgr cup car but I think its better that he gets some more work in with his future team.

      A competent GM could have turned that Burns trade into 4 or 5 day 1 picks and still ended up with BY. Fitts was just so fugging bad.

      Well, as far as backups go, Kyle Allen is actually a decent one.  Better at this point than Dalton probably. That being said, Hooker apparently had an atrocious game against the Texans.

      i wouldn't say that yet. I also wouldn't say he's done anything that makes me think he's particularly good. i think that's about right for compensation both ways for thielen considering the state of the vikings and Panthers.  The weirdest thing is that technically the panthers should be adding veteran salary cap right now; they have a high cost first overall qb on a rookie contract; that's the best advantage in the NFL in this day and age. It hasn't worked out because, well, the qb they drafted isn't good and they've ignored other parts of the team to try to bolster him.  so what's morgan really supposed to do? Are they tanking with a rookie qb in year three that the owner probably personally wanted drafted? Are they actually trying to win games this year with 80 career catches between their top three receivers? The defense is probably going to be terrible. What kind of jump are people actually expecting from Coker, Bryce, XL, and performance from a rookie to overcome that? It's not realistic.  At the end of the day I don't think Thielen wanted to end his career here and I don't blame him. Minnesota is going to compete this year and Carolina isn't. I also think this is to toss Bryce to the wolves and be done with him one way or another. There's no way this works. This is not a move you make if you're trying to win football games.
