CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Denny Hamlin has sorted packages at FedEx headquarters on the busiest day of the year, been sent to the Super Bowl and the Orange Bowl, and has done cross-promotions with golfer Davis Love III and Cowboys tight end Jason Witten.

But his latest sponsor outing may have been the most unique yet: FedEx sent him to Alaska to learn how to drive a dog sled with the reigning Iditarod champion.

“I get to do a lot of things I wouldn’t normally get to do if I was not with FedEx,” Hamlin said. “For me, it’s good to have a sponsor that shows you in such a great light. I get so much credit for doing all these things, but they are the ones who are helping out the communities everywhere I go.”
