Let's add that 45-year-old Denny Hamlin is one of the greatest and highest-paid NASCAR drivers of all time. He made a big splash in 2006, winning the Rookie of the Year award. During his career, Hamlin won the Daytona 500 three times: in 2016, 2019 and 2020, and his first victory in the Coca Cola 600 in 2022. In the 2025 season, Denny finished second in the drivers' standings, only three points behind Kyle Larson.
Hamlin, who owns the NASCAR 23XI Racing team with NBA legend Michael Jordan, is worth an estimated $65 million.
