Denny Hamlin

Sixty-four in the Cup Series, which is ninth on the all-time list. He passed Kyle Busch for that position with a win at Pocono in June 2026. He has also won 18 Xfinity Series races.

No. He has finished second twice, in 2010 and again in 2025. Sixty-four wins makes him the winningest driver in NASCAR history without a title, thirteen clear of the next name on that list.

Three — in 2016, 2019 and 2020. The 2016 win came on a last-lap pass and was decided by the smallest margin in the race's history, over Martin Truex Jr.

The Cup Series team Hamlin co-founded with Michael Jordan in 2020. He owns it while continuing to drive for Joe Gibbs Racing, so he competes against his own cars every week.

Joe Gibbs Racing, and only Joe Gibbs Racing. He has driven the No. 11 there since making his debut in 2005, which is among the longest single-team runs in the modern Cup Series.

He won eight races, more than any other driver that year, and took the championship to the final round at Homestead. Jimmie Johnson finished second there and won the title, his fifth in a row. Hamlin ended the season second.

He has won there eight times, more than any driver in the track's history, and his first two Cup victories both came at Pocono in his rookie season of 2006.

By wins, 2010 with eight. By championship position, 2010 and 2025, when he finished second both times. The 2026 season has brought four wins and three in a row from pole, which no driver had done since 1981.
