Sure, he can. But if he doesn’t win it all, Hamlin seems at peace with the knowledge that his career has hovered in the rarified air as one of the best in NASCAR history.— was just the latest reminder of his elite ability behind the wheel. Hamlin tied Lee Petty for 12th on the career wins list, and only Hall of Famers Kyle Busch and recently-retired Kevin Harvick are ahead of him.As for the “does a championship define greatness?” crowd, Hamlin told the haters to take a hike.
__ Matt Kenseth is as respected as any driver in recent NASCAR history and currently serves as a competition advisor for Legacy Motor Club. His one win in his 2003 championship season made him a scapegoat the following year when NASCAR upended the championship process and moved to a playoff-type format. Kenseth won 39 career races.
__ Would Hamlin trade careers with his JGR teammate and 2017 champion Martin Truex Jr.? What about 2023 champ Ryan Blaney? Surely not. The 43-year-old Hamlin and Junior Johnson are the only drivers in the 50-win Cup Club without a championship. “I think we have got off to a good start, Hendrick and us,” Gibbs said. “This is very competitive. I think that’s what we’ll see as we go forward.”
