With a career spanning over two decades, Hamlin’s rise to greatness has not only solidified his place among the sport’s elite but also earned him widespread recognition across various racing platforms.
Hamlin, a 3-time Daytona 500 winner and a multiple-time Cup Series champion contender, has long been admired for his skill on the track. His success, however, extends beyond NASCAR alone. The multi-faceted driver has made an indelible impact on multiple forms of racing, from NASCAR’s premier events to NHRA and beyond. His remarkable adaptability and ability to perform across different disciplines of motorsport have garnered widespread praise.
“Denny is a true legend of racing,” said a representative from NASCAR. “His impact on the sport is immeasurable.

His involvement with NHRA and his performances in speedway events have elevated his status, with some even crediting him with reshaping the way drivers approach multi-disciplined racing.
The recognition of Hamlin as one of the 75 greatest drivers comes at a time when his career continues to thrive, despite already securing his place in history. Many believe that Hamlin’s body of work is deserving of even more than just this acknowledgment — with calls for him to be awarded more recognition for his groundbreaking contributions to the sport.
“It’s an honor just to be considered among the greats of the sport, but to be named one of the 75 greatest drivers is a huge milestone,” Hamlin said in response to the announcement. “I’ve worked hard for every win, every race, and I’m proud to see how my career has impacted NASCAR, NHRA, and racing as a whole. But the journey isn’t over, and I look forward to what’s ahead.”
