Denny Hamlin gets another shot at the elusive NASCAR Cup Series Championship on Sunday at Phoenix Raceway

Denny Hamlin holds the dubious title as the most successful driver in NASCAR Cup Series history to never win a championship. With 60 career victories, Hamlin is tied with Kevin Harvick for 10th on the all-time list and has six of those wins in 2025. The 44-year-old joined the series full-time in 2006, earning Rookie of the Year honors, and finished second in the Chase for the Cup in 2010. Hamlin is back in the Championship 4 for the first time since 2021 as he will battle Chase Briscoe, William Byron and 2021 NASCAR Cup champion Kyle Larson at Phoenix Raceway for this season’s title.
