Mary Lou Hamlin, the mother of NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin, gave an emotional speech to Gaston County leaders, pleading for funding for emergency services following a deadly house fire that left her husband dead in December.

The remarks came during the public comment period of the Gaston County Board of Commissioners' Tuesday meeting. Mary Lou Hamlin was joined by her daughter, Lisa Chapman, and members of the Lucia-Riverbend Fire Department.

Mary Lou Hamlin said she was shocked to see that there was no water available for firefighters to put out the fire that engulfed her home on Blacksnake Road on Dec. 28 and left her husband, Denny Hamlin, dead. She advocated for increased funding for fire departments to better serve the community.
