Missing Rings: Denny Hamlin 2023
Спорт
Denny Hamlin just may end up being the best driver in NASCAR history to never win a NASCAR Cup Series championship. His numbers are easily first ballot Hall of Fame worthy and he's won multiple Daytona 500s in this time as well. But in this time he has accrued more missing rings than just about any other driver and has now been put fully into the conversation for this title with Mark Martin. So today we look back at the 35 races that Hamlin has completed. This is missing rings: Denny Hamlin 2023.

Even with embracing the villain role, fate still caught up to Hamlin. As long as we have the win and you’re in format he’ll always be in contention, but with the new generation taking over it’s going to be harder and harder.

OK, we can arm chair quarterback all day, but I certainly wouldn't be too fussed to finish my career with 50+ wins and no Cup. I seems ultimately Denny puts on a face that he feels the same. Despite the $$ that comes with the championship in this format, it just doesnt hold the weight that it used to, to pretty much anyone.

Lot of people saying he choked like the car breaking was his fault somehow. He would have been in the final 4 easy without that.
Denny fan here. He always has the worst luck but performs solid usually always. I’m just hoping he gets one Championship before he retires. 51 wins in the cup series is an incredible thing to have too though
"I beat your favorite driver" "Who would that be?" "All of them." That's gotta be one of the best roasts in motorsports.
Hamlin 3:16 says “I just beat your favorite driver…” Hamlin 3:17 says “but I lost another championship.”
I hope Denny wins on Sunday so we can view the tears live.

I think when we look back on Denny's career, we'll see a few things. Firstly, he's extremely talented. Love him or hate him, you can't deny that he's one of the best to ever do it. Secondly, he has a way of putting himself in the right place at the right time to be in the running. He and his crew chief know how to make hay while the sun shines, and they excel at taking advantage of key opportunities. And thirdly, he's shot himself in the foot so many times, it's a wonder he still has toes. As good as he and Chris are at pouncing on opportunities, he has a near-supernatural talent for finding ways to screw himself over. Would he have needed to win at Martinsville if he didn't get that penalty earlier in the year? Would his power steering have gone out at Vegas if he didn't try to beat the side off of Blaney's car? Maybe, maybe not, but he certainly didn't do himself any favors. Every year, it's the same story. He makes little, stupid mistakes that come back to bite him in the ass when it really matters. No one who's that good comes that close so many times without making their own bad luck.

It takes no talent to wreck others and to whine when you are raced. He is a jerk. Dale Sr was someone who I didn't like but he raced like a man - he raced you hard and you could race him hard. Denny is such a child that when you race him, he gets offended that you would have the audacity to race him. He is getting his karma payback. Low rent man driving for a brand that cheated when it first got into NASCAR.

Hamlin has nothing to be ashamed of. Harvick had that lone title in 2014, but never won one after that, coming close several times. Winning a title is so rare that there are only two active drivers with multiple rings. Denny is a first ballot hall of famer, great career with many crown jewels.

This feels like it was one of his last shots to win a title Bobby Allison won one when he was Denny’s age or older I think but that was a different era

Calling it now, he’s gonna pull a Dale Sr. with Daytona and take 20yrs to get it done. 2026 will be his 20th season in cup 👀👀👀
Harvick said it vest himself a few years ago after that 9 win season and missing the final 4. "championships arent like when petty and dale won them" this system is garbage.
The video every NASCAR KZreadr makes about Hamlin since 2006. Hopefully the streak continues No matter if Denny was the good guy (which he was back in the day) or the bad guy, his fate is the same every single year.

I think that Denny jinxed himself when he said "it's our year" at Bristol. Let's face it, Denny isn't meant to be a Cup Series champion. Just like Mark Martin, he'll be a driver who has won a lot of races but has zero championships to back it up.
At this point I don't think it's meant to be for Hamlin to win a Championship
As a mark Martin fan, I feel the frustration of falling just short. Maybe next year
Can’t wait for this episode again in ‘24
It would’ve been perfect if this video posted immediately after the race. 😂
Love the fact that you already done this video.
The Darlington and Homestead races were both huge in his elimination. Fast in both races and he has a good chance at winning, if not for mechanical issues
This video might as well be a yearly tradition
I had a feeling this was coming from a mile away
I LOVED being a part of that Bristol crowd. We booed him so loud we couldn't even hear the interview until the moment he said "I beat your favorite driver." I think something the TV didn't catch during that race was he raced Larson dirtier than he did anyone else during the race. He has it out for Hendrick. This video makes me want Larson to win the championship so bad
Uuuggghhh, I literally sat in the stands for 30 minutes after speechless and saddened
Denny Hamlin is the Tottenham Hotspur of NASCAR. If ya know ya know😂

This is why people genuinely just don't like that guy. When Kyle Busch was the popular villain.. he was still a 1.. and eventually 2 time champion. He had achieved the greatest accomplishment in Nascar. And really, he wasn't hypocritically picking at people the whole time. He would definitely talk some shit, but at least most of it was true. And on the flipside, this is why people love Larson. Almost every snippet of the final laps in this video, Larson is up front. And if Larson went to the back, it was because Denny drove disrespectfully (the irony). And even after all this, Larson kept a smile on his face and didn't retaliate. Even at Martinsville, Larson could've used Denny up and locked his teammate into the round of 4- but he didn't. And now, you have zero (larson) retaliations, zero tangible reasons to dislike Larson, 2 HMS drivers in the round of 4, and Hamlin fans already saying "Next year will be our year".

At this point Hamlin becomes the modern Mark Martin, winning races but never won a championship.
Hamlin fans are understanding the frustration that is Dale jr fans have
Denny has absolutely no control over a parts failure at Miami. Had that not happen he makes the final four.
"I beat your favorite driver" "Which one?" "All of them" Yeah, but you still have as many championships as him too in over double the starts
"Its our year" Yeah theirs a problem with that saying.
I do kind of sympathize with Hamlin fans. I felt this way as a Harvick fan in 2020

Hahahahahahhahhaahahaha! These playoffs have been too good!
It’s been two days
I don't care how much backlash I'll get for saying this, but I'm saying it anyway. Denny's elimination was 100% deserved, and he's a hypocritical joke who will never EVER win a championship. Why? His whole thing at Bristol about beating everyone's favorites did nothing to help his reputation. All it did was put a big target on his back bumper, as well as a post-it note that says something along the lines of "wreck me."
So is Denny finished paying back Ross Chastain yet???? I mean this year he got him a few this year. He paid him back last year so I guess we will see.
He may have beaten our favorite drivers, but he didn't make it the final 4😂😂😂😂

Missing Rings: Denny Hamlin's Whole Career 🤷🏻♀️
As a teen growing up and seeing Denny start in the sprint cup way back, there was a time where I thought he was at least an okay guy and would’ve considered rooting for him. More so over the last 6-8 years I’m glad I never really did, his attitude has declined what seems like every season as of late. If he gets a championship good for him but I could care less if he does, he is polarizing with his talent and what he can bring to the table when things don’t go wrong.
Honestly seeing denny get into it with elliot and larson is awesome as fuck to me, I hate them both
