DOVER, Del. — Denny Hamlin is off to one of the best starts of his two-decade career, with three wins for Joe Gibbs Racing. Hamlin and Christopher Bell have delivered four wins this season to JGR. William Byron has three wins and Kyle Larson and Chase Elliott each have one to give Hendrick Motorsports five checkered flags in 2024. Hamlin's win Sunday at Dover Motor Speedway gave him 54 in the Cup series and tied him with Lee Petty for the 12th on the career wins list. The 43-year-old Hamlin and Junior Johnson are the only drivers in the 50-win Cup Club without a championship. That's OK with Hamlin. He says "worse drivers" than him have won NASCAR championships.
