Getting reminders of his daughter’s favorite character, Dorothy, a fictional character based on the popular cartoon, “Wizard of the Oz,” Hamlin recalled the sweet conversation with his daughter after he clinched the Kansas trophy.

Starting off the conversation, Hamlin quickly shared the wholesome moment, saying, “So my daughter on Facetime says, Daddy, you won in my home state. I’m like, ‘What are you talking about?’ She’s like, ‘I’m Dorothy.’ I’m like, Oh that’s right, so yeah shout-out to Dorothy, winning in her home state.”

As his co-host, Jared Allen said, “No place like home.” Hamlin also resonated with the emotion as said, “No place like home and for me 4 times there, shoot feels like home that’s for sure.” 

Further on during the conversation, the 42-year-old veteran discussed the recent happenings in NASCAR including Legacy Motor Club’s massive heel turn. However, it was clear that despite being an aggressive and feisty competitor on the track, he is also a loving father. The driver has also been open about his family time.
