Further, Denny Hamlin said, “At this pace and rate, they have a chance to break, I don’t know what the season record is for wins in a season by a team. I know Joe Gibbs won 18 or 19, a few years ago.”

Denny Hamlin stated, “So, Chase Elliott! We’re out there we’re still thinking about you. Hope you get well man. I know he hates not being out there racing each week and we’re gonna keep rooting for Chase to get back as soon as possible.”
