Hamlin Seeks to Crown a Legendary Career in the NASCAR Final
Denny Hamlin, in his 20th season, is on the verge of glory. The NASCAR driver, known for his skill, finally seeks to conquer the championship that has eluded him throughout his outstanding career. Hamlin won the pole position at Phoenix Raceway, an achievement that positions him as the favorite for the final race. The competition for the NASCAR Cup title will be fierce, with Hamlin facing Chase Briscoe, William Byron, and Kyle Larson. The winner of this race will take home the coveted championship. Hamlin arrives at this final after a successful season, where he obtained six victories, the most in the series. His triumph in Las Vegas last month secured his place in the final, giving him time to prepare mentally and physically.The atmosphere surrounding Hamlin is one of optimism and tranquility. With a team of friends and family sharing his excitement, the driver feels relaxed and ready to face the challenge. Hamlin achieved a time of 133.759 mph in his Toyota, securing the most advantageous starting position. This gives him the first option to choose his pit stall, which could be crucial to avoid penalties. However, the pressure is high, and Hamlin is aware that the championship is unpredictable.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 so busy.

Larson, already with a title to his name, and Byron, seeking his third consecutive title, are also strong contenders. Briscoe, for his part, makes his debut in the final. Byron and Larson qualified in second and third place, respectively, while Briscoe finished in 12th place.You can only control the things you can control. Obviously, we will do our best for 312 laps. I hope it will be enough.

Throughout his career, Hamlin has been close to the championship on several occasions, but luck has not been on his side. Now, many see him as the favorite, and his competitors recognize that a victory for him would be well received.I feel like, honestly, it was a really bad lap that I ran. I was a little surprised that it was even 12th to a certain extent.
Chase Briscoe
Briscoe added that it would be a shame if Hamlin, considered one of the best NASCAR drivers, never won a championship. The change of team leader for Hamlin, although initially criticized, seems to have been positive. The new team leader, Gayle, has managed to take Hamlin to the final, and could now be the architect of his long-awaited title.Everyone likes 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.
Kyle Larson
Hamlin, with 60 wins under his belt, seeks the title not only for sporting prestige, but also for his father, who is facing health problems. I know for sure that this is my last chance for my father to see it. I don’t want him to leave without being able to see the moment.There are four really good cars, really good teams, really good team bosses. I just want to win the race and be the champion.
