Comparing Denny Hamlin and Joey Logano’s Careers | NASCAR Power Rankings Post-Gateway

Denny Hamlin just dropped a bombshell about his future, his legacy, and where he stacks up against some of NASCAR’s biggest names. With retirement now officially on the horizon, Hamlin isn’t backing down from comparing himself to multi-time champions. In fact, he went as far as saying he doesn’t believe those titles automatically make certain drivers “better” than him. Add in his growing win total, crown jewel trophies, and the shadow of that missing championship, and suddenly we’re looking at one of the sport’s most fascinating legacy debates.

• Is Hamlin really ready to hang it up after 2027, or will the fire keep burning longer than he expects?
• How much do 59 wins and multiple Daytona 500s weigh against Logano’s 3 championships but only one crown jewel?
• Can Hamlin finally capture that elusive title before he retires and lock himself in as a top 10 driver all time?
• Has being busier than ever — owning a team, running a podcast, and handling court drama — actually sharpened his focus behind the wheel?

As Hamlin edges closer to 60 wins and possibly into the top 10 on NASCAR’s all-time list, this conversation is only going to get louder. If he adds a championship, the debate might be over. If he doesn’t, fans will be arguing about his place in history for decades. So what matters more to you, wins or championships? Drop your take and let’s settle this once and for all.
