However, as per fellow driver Denny Hamlin, his name does not appear anywhere at the top of the greatest drivers of all time. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver continued to argue and disagree with Logano as an “underrated” driver.

What did Denny Hamlin comment about Joey Logano?

During his podcast, Hamlin said, “Maybe he’s the most underrated… Who’s the most underrated among the Cup Garage? Like, why does no one ever say Joey Logano?…”

Listening to this, his co-host, Jared Allen, disagreed, by saying, “I don’t think Joey can be underrated though. He is a two time champion switch 30 wins.”

Hamlin, however, continued, “While why are they never saying, he is one of the greatest, you know, best drivers outright now? I don’t see him on those lists. I see those lists all the time and it’s, and he’s never at the top of it. But how can you argue he’s averaging three wins a year…”
