NASCAR Team Owner Mocks Denny Hamlin_ After Denny Hamlin won back-to-back races at Bristol Motor Speedway, team owner Coach Gibbs couldn’t help but make fun of his star driver’s dress choices at a party for the team. Bristol had some problems during the Food City 500, but Hamlin came out on top in his No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota to win his 52nd Cup Series race.
The Joe Gibbs Racing team got together at their offices in Huntersville, North Carolina, to celebrate Hamlin’s win and raise his 52nd flag. Coach Gibbs couldn’t help but make a joke about Hamlin’s outfit. With his torn pants, the 43-year-old driver made people look twice, especially the 83-year-old team owner, who is worth an amazing $60 million.
Coach Gibbs, who was known for his good humor, joked, “He has 52 banners on the wall. You’d think after all these years, the man could afford a pair of pants.” But… I’ll let him finish up.” The jokes, which were caught on camera and shared by Joe Gibbs Racing, showed how friendly the team was, even though they were competitive on the track.
Hamlin’s win at Bristol showed how well he knew how to keep his tires in good shape, which was very important for getting around the half-mile track. Even though his friends, including Martin Truex Jr., pushed hard, Hamlin held his ground and won, calling it one of the best moments of his career.
When Hamlin thought about his performance, he stressed the importance of skill over pure speed. He also pointed out the complex method needed to win races where tires wear down quickly. In an interview after the race, he talked about how proud he was to have played a key role in winning, praising both the success of the car and his own driving skills.
