That's how many stitches Denny Hamlin got in his left hand yesterday in a race against a team engineer to see who could run around the team's hauler faster.
As Dustin Long reports from Richmond, Hamlin also lost part of his left ring finger.
Ouch.
1:45 p.m. update: The money quote from Dustin (I'm paraphrasing): "When you see bone, you know it's bad." The Richmond paper has more, including the nugget that Gibbs has hired Mike Bliss for the weekend just in case.
