Denny Hamlin emerged as the most vocal and active driver in the NASCAR community recently. The driver with the largest fan base receives the Most Popular Driver award at the NASCAR championship gala. Although several drivers have won this award by fan vote, notable legends like Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Denny Hamlin himself never captured the title.
In the last six seasons, Hendrick Motorsports has dominated the Most Popular Driver award. Denny Hamlin’s father holds the record for most wins, with 16. However, a former Clint Bowyer spotter and co-host of the Door Bumper Clear podcast showed support for Hamlin to win the award this season.
Denny Hamlin is deserving of the Most Popular Driver award due to his exceptional contributions. He goes above and beyond both on and off the track, interacting with fans through platforms like Netflix, podcasts, and Twitter. His dedication to the sport has made him more well-known and appreciated.
Hamlin’s involvement in the NASCAR documentary series on Netflix and his partnership as an owner with NBA legend Michael Jordan at 23XI Racing highlight his commitment to the sport. Furthermore, his strong presence on social media and interactions with fans further solidify his status as a fan favorite.
Recently, Denny Hamlin was involved in a social media feud with the president of SMI, which was ultimately resolved. The disagreement arose when Hamlin criticized the poor repaving of Sonoma, which offended the SMI boss. The exchange of insults became personal when it occurred online. However, both parties subsequently apologized for their comments.
Le conflit continu entre Hamlin et le président de la SMI a laissé beaucoup de gens se demander l’authenticité de leur dispute. Cependant, le duo a fait la paix publiquement, probablement pour le bien des relations publiques positives. Smith a présenté ses excuses en premier pour avoir franchi la ligne, et Hamlin a suivi son exemple en exprimant des regrets pour ses propres commentaires.
