“It’s very, very possible”- Denny Hamlin feels confident in beating Kyle Larson and Chase Elliott to this season’s NASCAR regular season championship.
Denny Hamlin recently opened up on whether he thinks he could win the regular season championship this year. Hamlin is currently sitting 4th on the standings table with 42 points to the top.
Ahead of the Joe Gibbs Racing is his own driver at 23XI Racing, Tyler Reddick, over whom is the HMS duo of Chase Elliott and Kyle Larson.During a press conference ahead of this Sunday’s race at Pocono, Hamlin was asked whether there’s enough time for him to have a shot at winning the regular season championship. It’s worth mentioning that including Pocono, there are six races left in the regular season before the playoffs begin at Atlanta on September 8th.
“I think unless they have problems, it’ll be tough. But everyone is struggling to find consistency, right? We were as consistent as anyone for five weeks and now have had five weeks the exact opposite, so just think, you know, we’ll need help for sure and we’ll need to be as good as we were two months ago, right? As far as execution and finishing positions. It’s very, very possible,” Hamlin described. [11:50]
Having said that, he emphasized that the #11 team would need “a few stubbed toes” here and there to win.
