Who wouldn’t want Denny Hamlin on their team? However, with the 2023 season coming close, only a contract talk can help retain Hamlin in Joe Gibbs Racing. But Hamlin isn’t worried about that. In fact, with the kind of rapport he has with JGR, the #11 driver feels that the deal is already done. The contract talks are just a formality.

In a recent tweet posted by Fox Sports reporter Bob Pockrass, it is clear that Denny Hamlin is confident about his extension with Joe Gibbs Racing. However, what’s interesting to see is that Hamlin’s confidence did not sit well with Kyle Busch’s fans. But who can blame them? They do have a valid reason for it.

After JGR failed to secure a sponsor for Kyle Busch after M&M’s exit, Rowdy had to part ways with the team and restart his racing career at Richard Childress Racing.

Yikes. They do not seem happy about it.

And to be fair, it’s not their fault. After witnessing the heartbreaking departure of Kyle Busch from Joe Gibbs Racing, NASCAR fans are disappointed in JGR and its management.

However, this doesn’t mean that the same will be true for Denny Hamlin. If #11 feels that it isn’t difficult to get a deal from JGR, then probably he is right. After all, with his new venture ready to take on the fans, it is more than important for Hamlin to be optimistic!

Excited to have his ‘brutally honest’ friend onboard, Earnhardt Jr said,

“Denny is one of the more polarizing individuals in the sport right now. We know he can be candid, opinionated, and entertaining as a driver, but he also is very insightful on the challenges and thrills of team ownership. This is going to be fun seeing Denny create content, and I am excited that he is doing it with Dirty Mo Media.”
