Hamlin seeks to be crowned in the NASCAR final
In the exciting NASCAR final, Denny Hamlin is in a privileged position to shed his label as the best driver without a championship. In his twentieth full season, Hamlin secured the pole position at the Phoenix Raceway, marking the start of a decisive race. The competition for the title focuses on Hamlin, his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate, Chase Briscoe, and Hendrick Motorsports drivers William Byron and Kyle Larson. Hamlin will lead the grid, an achievement that highlights his outstanding season, where he accumulated six victories, the most in the series.Hamlin, with a relaxed and optimistic atmosphere, has expressed his approach to the race, treating the week like any other in Phoenix. His team, composed of friends and family, has created a supportive environment for the driver. Obtaining the pole position gives Hamlin the advantage of choosing his pit position, which could mitigate speeding penalties. However, the driver is aware of the challenges and the importance of staying focused on the race. Larson, already a title holder, and Byron, two-time Daytona 500 winner, join the competition. Briscoe, for his part, debuts in the championship race. Hamlin, with three Daytona 500 victories and considered one of the best drivers without a championship, seeks his first title since 2021. In the classification, Byron and Larson obtained second and third place respectively, while Briscoe placed twelfth. Throughout his career, Hamlin has faced challenges in pursuit of the championship. In 2010, he had a spin in the final; in 2014, a problem in the pits; in 2019, temperature issues, and in 2020 and 2021, unfavorable strategies. Despite these setbacks, Hamlin has become a favorite for many.I think the advantage was winning in Las Vegas because I was able to get a lot of work done before this week. That way, this week isn’t as busy.

The change of team leader for Hamlin, although initially met with resistance, has proven to be a successful adjustment. Gayle, the new team leader, has managed to take Hamlin to the final. Gayle has expressed his desire to win the championship, regardless of personal circumstances. Hamlin’s 60th victory placed him in the top 10 of the all-time wins list. Hamlin has expressed his desire to win to share this achievement with his father.Everyone loves a story like that, where someone is nearing the end of their career, all that, I can see why people would root for it. Obviously, I want to win. But it would be great to see someone who has dedicated so much time to this sport and has been so close so many times. Sixty wins. Tomorrow I’m going to want to beat him badly, but it won’t kill me if he wins.
