Three-time Daytona 500 winner Denny Hamlin signed a multi-year contract extension with Joe Gibbs Racing, the organization he’s driven for since 2005.
Hamlin has 50 career Cup Series wins, tied for 13th all time in NASCAR history. He won three Daytona 500s, three Southern 500s at Darlington Raceway and one Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Hamlin is part of his 17th NASCAR playoffs and has reached the final championship four times: 2014, 2019, 2020 and 2021. Hamlin said his relationship with Joe Gibbs and his team “means a lot to me. We have accomplished so much together over the years.” Hamlin had a strong car at Darlington on Sunday night, leading a race best 177 out of 367 laps. But problems in the pits and a late accident dropped him to a 25th-place finish in the Southern 500.
Hamlin was asked last Thursday and at NASCAR playoff media day if he still hoped to drive for JGR and quickly answered, “100 percent.”Copyright AP - Associated Press
