Denny Hamlin might not be everyone’s favorite, but he surely is one of the fastest on track. And, as we all know, he clinched the win at one of the four crown jewels of NASCAR, the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte. And, Dale Earnhardt Jr. had some things to say.
As for now, Denny Hamlin has not won the Brickyard 400 at Indiana, the last of the four crown jewels, meaning he doesn’t have the full crown. But, many fans argue that the 23XI Racing co-owner did indeed win the full crown. At least, @Ryan2K18 on Twitter feels so, as they said, “Since the Brickyard 400 died, does this mean Denny has the full crown?”

To which, prominent NASCAR Journalist, Jeff Gluck replied, “That’s going to get debated this week, but I’d argue yes (that there are only three crown jewels now). Daytona 500, Southern 500, Coke 600.
Is there a fourth? I’ll hang up and listen.”

Another NASCAR fan, @JReckelhoff on Twitter said, “Before NASCAR started racing at Indy, the 4 majors were Daytona 500, Coke 600, Winston 500 at Dega, and Southern 500. These were the Winston Million races..the original Crown Jewel Races. If they ever run the Indy oval again it should be a crown jewel race.”

Dale Earnhardt Jr. also believes that Denny Hamlin did indeed win the full crown. And this is because Denny Hamlin is a three-time Daytona 500 winner, three-time Southern 500, and a Winston 500 winner, which is now known as the YellaWood 500 at Talladega. And, recently the Coca-Cola 500 at Charlotte.
