Seeing this, and being a Bryce Harper fan, I wondered what his connection was, if any, to tOSU. Turns out his wife played soccer for the Buckeyes.
His words: " “I’m the lunatic. I sit on the couch and go nuts. I love this team, I love the way they fight, I love the way they go about it.“

“ONE FOR EACH WIN.” NASCAR star Denny Hamlin’s love for the Buckeyes blossomed as Ohio State defeated Tennessee, Oregon, Texas and Notre Dame en route to the program’s ninth national title. Hamlin credits Travis Rockhold, the producer of his podcast Actions Detrimental, for the start of his fandom. Hamlin and Rockhold even attended the national championship game in Atlanta.
In the latest episode of Actions Detrimental, Rockhold surprised Hamlin with a sheet of Buckeye Leaves. Rockhold said the Ohio State football program gifted them to Hamlin to celebrate his new fandom.
“How about that? Oh, man,” Hamlin said when he received the Buckeye Leaves. “I think one for each win. Like, when I win, I need to put a Buckeye (on my helmet). These are authentic. I can tell. Thank you. Thank you.”
Earlier in the episode, Hamlin shared how he became an Ohio State fan and what stands out to him about Buckeye Nation.
“I’ll be honest. When you jump on the bandwagon of the best team, it surely makes it easy and fun,” Hamlin said. “To me, the atmosphere was the biggest thing that I noticed. It was so different. If I go to an NFL game, it’s a Panthers game, and I’m not a Panthers fan. Charlotte fans are suspect at best when it comes to their fandom, so it’s like going to a library compared to when I went to the Shoe. It was unbelievable. The crowd was so freakin’ loud at every play. Usually, you can get the excitement at the beginning or the end, but it’s every play.
“I’ve mentioned it, but Travis hangs his whole life on every play that happens. If it’s 1st-and-10 and they only get 2 yards, he’s losing his mind. He’s like, ‘The offensive coordinator!’ or ‘Stupid play!’ It’s so wildly entertaining.”
Welcome to the Ohio State fandom, Denny.
We have a lot of Travises, but they’re our Travises, and we love them.
This is the way in Buckeye Nation.

(The caption, “Finally a champ,” refers to Hamlin’s lack of a Cup championship, as the 44-year-old holds the record for the most wins in the NASCAR Cup Series, 54, without winning a title.)

Was wondering where that came from. Rahal was obvious. Hamlin had me confused, but Welcome Denny.

What happened to my ¤cash?
Just dropped a car at the shop this afternoon and one of Rahal’s Ferrari(s) was in for service. The Rahal clan lives here… so it could have been any of theirs… but it was definitely one of ‘em.
That said, I’ve always wondered the connection to Ohio once I learned they live here (western Chicago burbs). Apparently Bobby’s dad went to Denison… and he followed.
The more you know.
Edit: for those wondering which Ferrari it was… it was a California T Roadster. Probably a 2014-2018. Nothing really exotic. Understated and elegant.

Rahal Racing ran out of Hilliard for years. Surprises me more to hear they're not still running around that neighborhood still.

Exactly. My dad was Hilliard ‘59 so I kicked there when I was growing up and staying with my grandparents. I always assumed they were generationally central Ohioans as they seemed so rooted in the community. Imagine my surprise the first time someone told me they are from flipp’n Glen Ellyn, IL.
