Denny Hamlin Appreciation Thread

Tyler is good enough. Denny is the better, more complete driver.

I guess the argument can be made both ways.

Denny is generally more consistent throughout the season, but Denny falls way short of being able to run up front at road/street courses.

Doesn't matter much this year because there isnt one in the chase.

The best regular season driver of the playoff era. Sums him up nicely.

For whatever reason it seems like Denny, or his team, always seem to find a way to lose it in the playoffs. Its hard to go against him this year given his performance and the format. But let's not forget he once went into the final race with the points lead in this format and still lost.

And to @aunty dive point, I believe the comparison was with JGR teammates, but I will play.....Laps led is a critical metric in performance. Denny leads in laps led. With that being said, I would agree with you. One aspect of the argument lives in whether or not Denny is closer to the front on road courses vs. Tyler on short tracks. Probably not, but Denny is better on the 1.5s in my opinion.

From a lot of perspectives, the Denny chokes in the clutch thing is gone after last year. While I do not have a problem with the old format, that bit him....and that format now gone. I think that Denny proved that he can adapt better than literally anyone in the series right now. With regard to the championship lost vs. Jimmie way back when.....he was a completely different driver/competitor then. As a Toyota fan, if I am given a choice between Denny or Tyler chasing somebody down for a late pass to win the championship....I am taking DFH every ****** time.
