Denny Hamlin etched his name deeper into NASCAR history with a thrilling victory at Michigan, claiming his 57th career Cup Series win. This milestone not only highlights Hamlin’s enduring excellence on the track but also makes him the winningest driver in Joe Gibbs Racing history, surpassing his longtime teammate and rival Kyle Busch. The victory stands as a testament to Hamlin’s consistency, longevity, and elite talent over nearly two decades at the sport’s highest level.
What makes this achievement even more remarkable is that it comes in Hamlin’s 700th career start — a rare feat in itself.

Over the years, Hamlin has won at nearly every type of track: superspeedways, short tracks, intermediates, and road courses — a sign of his all-around skill and adaptability.
This win at Michigan is more than just another trophy; it’s a defining moment that solidifies Hamlin’s legacy not just within Joe Gibbs Racing, but in the NASCAR Cup Series as a whole. While he’s still chasing that elusive first championship, victories like this prove he remains a force to be reckoned with. For Hamlin and his fans, Michigan 2025 will be remembered as the day he broke records, silenced doubters, and reminded the racing world that greatness is built over time — and still racing strong.
