Denny Hamlin Among Favorites To Win His First NASCAR Championship
11 months agoWith 51 race wins at the Cup level, three Daytona 500 victories, and a team that he is co-owner of, Denny Hamlin has accomplished a lot in his NASCAR career. The one thing he has not done, however, is win the Cup Series championship. Always the polarizing figure, Hamlin's lack of championship success has not gone unnoticed, as this is the first thing his detractors like to point to when criticizing the future Hall of Famer. Despite having multiple wins in five consecutive seasons, there is a perception that the JGR star is a choke artist; a driver that is incapable of winning the big one. This is the burden the 20-year Cup veteran will carry into 2024, a season that sees him among the favorites to finally win the title. At +750 on FanDuel Sportsbook, Hamlin has the fourth-best odds to win the NASCAR championship, suggesting that the sportsbooks believe the No.11 may be racing for something when we get to Phoenix in November.
