Daytona International Speedway (Daytona Beach, Fla.) — Denny Hamlin has suffered through so much since the start of November. Now, he will take all the encouragement he can get. Hamlin knows he could be a sentimental favorite Sunday to win his fourth Daytona 500 and that he might hear more cheers than boos. That will be fine by him come Sunday. It is hard not to feel for Hamlin, who had dominated the season finale at Phoenix before a late caution resulted in pit stops. And ultimately, he ended up on the losing end of the title after taking four fresh tires while Kyle Larson prevailed on just two. He then went through an uncomfortable two weeks of the 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports trial against NASCAR, which eventually settled in a victory for the race teams. Then a few weeks later, his terminally ill father died in a house fire that also seriously injured his mother. So it would make sense if the fans end up cheering for “11 Against The World” Hamlin. “It’s the noise that you really want,” Hamlin told me and other reporters during his Daytona 500 media scrum Wednesday. “The fans have been really supportive over the last few months and after Phoenix and how that ended, it’s just how many comments and messages I got from fans. It made me feel like I was a champion even though I didn’t have the ring and the trophy. “They certainly made me feel like I had accomplished what I was hoping to accomplish. If the boos turn to cheers, that will make me happy.” Hamlin, who starts 22nd in the Daytona 500, has barely been to the race shop in the offseason. During this time, he’s been grieving the death of his father. His dad, Dennis, was so sick last fall that he felt he probably wouldn’t live to see Denny attempt a run at another championship. For context, the 45-year-old Hamlin has excelled in his Hall of Fame career with 60 Cup wins … but no Cup title. “I feel good about the last race my dad got to see I was at my best,” Hamlin said. “He got to see as good as I’ll ever be, he got to see that moment. I don’t know where it goes from here, but I certainly feel as though I’m a competitive person, and I’m motivated by winning. “It doesn’t matter what I’m doing, whether I’m racing or doing a hobby or whatever that might be. I just haven’t been in that fierce competitor type of mindset in months and months now. It’s just now starting to get back.” Hamlin credited team owner Joe Gibbs with helping him through the hard times. Gibbs, who has endured the loss of both of his sons, would visit Hamlin’s father regularly over the last several months. “[He] talked stories with him, prayed with him,” Hamlin said. “My dad was really trying to get right with the Lord last year and felt like Joe was someone who kind of helped with that.” Gibbs actually got to the hospital before Hamlin after the house fire. “He’s just unbelievable how he is as a leader and obviously he has been through it,” Hamlin said. “My connection on that personal level is more so with Joe, and it’s always been that way since he took over as my at-track dad.” All three of Hamlin’s Daytona 500 wins have come in the previous generation car. In the four races with the Next Gen car, Hamlin has a best finish of 17th. It looked like that rough stretch would end last year when Hamlin was leading on the final lap before a crash eliminated several contenders. Eventually, William Byron, who was ninth heading into the final lap, ended up winning. “[Winning a fourth] certainly was on my mind on the last lap last year when we were leading, that we are going to get another one,” Hamlin explained. “I’ve just been really lucky to have the opportunities I’ve had to win these races but also been very unfortunate in the Next Gen era to not have won more. “I feel as though the opportunity will be there, and hopefully we can put ourselves in position to move ourselves up that Daytona 500 winners board.” Hamlin believes he will get back into the groove of racing soon. “I know I’m way too competitive to just go through the motions,” Hamlin said. “So as we get on the race track and go through practices and qualifying … we are slowly getting there.”Latest Sports News from FOX Sports

Ever read an interview that has you saying “NOOOOO” aloud at your screen?
Brandi Glanville’s disfigurement is no longer a medical mystery.
It turns out that her breast implants are decades old and also illegal to install these days.
They’ve ruptured. Brandi says that one of her implants appears to have become filled with black mold.
What was the mystery ailment?
As Brandi spent an alarming amount of money searching for a diagnosis and actual treatment for her disfigurement, she ultimately decided to undergo a sonogram.
“The implants that I have in right now, that are almost 20 years old, are no longer made. They’re illegal,” Brandi told the Daily Enquirer in a new interview.
“You’re supposed to change them every 10 years, they say,” she acknowledged.
“But I’m also, I was like, if it’s not broken, don’t fix it,” Brandi added.
Not unreasonably, she asked: “Who wants to have a surgery, let alone an extensive surgery?”
(The answer is, well, people who don’t want to risk a medical nightmare like she’s been suffering)
“She called me a few days later, the woman that did the sonogram,” she recalled. “And she was like, ‘Brandi? You need to get those out yesterday.’”
Brandi continued: “She’s like, ‘You have a slow leak in your left one and your right one’s completely ruptured, and it’s in all your lymph nodes under both arms.’”
The call continued: “‘And that’s probably why whatever’s going on in your face.’”
Brandi recalled the caller explaining: “‘It can’t drain because your lymph nodes are clogged with silicone.’”
If that weren’t bad enough, there’s also the mold issue
According to Brandi, the technician said “that she thought she might have saw some mold on there, on one of the implants.”
She expressed: “And that’s scary because, you know, I’ve never felt back to normal since the black mold poisoning.”
It’s only been a few years since Brandi and her handsome sons, Mason and Jake, got black mold poisoning from a rental house. (Yes, just like Tori Spelling did)
“One of the houses we leased, we all got very sick,” she explained.
Brandi added: “We did get a settlement from the landlord, but that’s something that we all kind of will always fight.”
“My kids were lucky enough to move, you know, out,” Brandi acknowledged. “And I had to stay there and deal with it.”
She clarified: “I mean, I moved out eventually, but it’s life threatening. It is.”
Brandi admitted: “And I never thought something like fun, like implants, like, to me.”
In an illuminating comment, she added: “I don’t know one person out of my friends that doesn’t have them.”
Ultimately, the rest didn’t matter. Brandi reasoned: “So, I need them out.”
“I don’t regret getting them,” Brandi affirmed.
She added: “I regret not thinking they had anything to do with what was going on in my head and my neck.”
From the start of Brandi’s medical journey, the world has speculated about whether she was suffering some sort of parasitic infection or from cosmetic surgery gone wrong.
Old breast implants with a moldy growth in them is, arguably, both.
We have to emphasize that it seems possible that the ailment goes beyond the implants. But they clearly weren’t helping.

It’s been nearly two weeks since Nancy Guthrie disappeared from her home in Tucson.
And in that time, we’ve heard countless theories about how and why someone might have abducted the 84-year-old mother of Today show anchor Savannah Guthrie.
But while most of the speculation has consisted of plausible theories, Bethenny Frankel has offered up an explanation straight out of a made-for-Netflix crime thriller.
Yes, Frankel — who recently made headlines as one of several former Bravo stars to take offense at Bad Bunny’s halftime show — is firing off yet another hot take. And this is one for the ages.
In a recent TikTok, Bethenny suggested that Nancy may have been abducted by a rival journalist who is jealous of Savannah’s success.
“Can you guys share with me your theories in the horrific Nancy Guthrie kidnapping?” Frankel asked her followers.
“They say that the ransom note was written by someone extremely articulate, who has connections to TV stations in Arizona,” she continued.
“And Savannah, years ago, worked at TV stations in Arizona. They said that if the ransom were given, [Nancy] would be returned within a matter of hours to Tucson.”
All of this led Bethenny to the conclusion that Nancy might have been abducted by a former colleague of Savannah’s who has been seething with envy for years.
“So is it some competitive journalist that Savannah won, got the gig, broke out, and made all the big bucks, and that person has resentment and wants to get their payday that they deserve?” Frankel asked.
“I have not heard anything like that, and why does that type of thing sound logical to me?”
It’s a bit of a far-fetched premise, but several of Bethenny’s followers believe she’s onto something.
“I don’t think you’re wrong. Any theory at this point is plausible,” one user wrote.
“Oh I’m all over this one,” another added.
“That’s a good one, haven’t heard that one yet. Hopefully FBI is investigating all that type of stuff. The poor woman,” a third chimed in.
Investigators have used clues from the suspect’s clothing to try and track him down, and video taken the same night shows a man with a similar backpack attempting to gain access to the backyard of a different home.
If it’s the same man, then Bethenny’s “rival journalist” theory grows even more implausible, and the abduction of Nancy was probably random.
Ransom notes have been sent, but police and the Guthrie family have been unable to determine if the author of the notes actually knows Nancy’s whereabouts.
Police are desperate for leads, and just about any explanation is possible at this point — but Bethenny’s take doesn’t seem especially likely.
