The ever-controversial Denny Hamlin. In his early years and for a long time, he was a punk and a bully, always enabled by Joe Gibbs. Later, many people including me thought he cared more about golf than about racing... yet still found time for "over 10,000 races" LOL. In recent years, he has become one of NASCAR's most influential people... co-founded 23XI with Michael Jordan; continued to win for JGR at a stellar rate into his mid-40's; one of the leaders - along with MJ and Bob Jenkins - of the car owners' revolution against France Family hegemony.
And Denny Hamlin has "beat your favorite driver" 60 times, so far. Whew!
