#NASCAR... We've heard lots about Denny Hamlin, Michael Jordan, and 23XI these first days in court, but what about Front Row Motorsports (the team suing NASCAR with them)?

I'm sorry, it was too many characters 😅

There are literally still leaves on the trees.

Denny Hamlin isn't going to want to make a move that has a net-negative impact on Joe Gibbs Racing, IMHO.

There was already the assumption that Hamlin was going to be finished after this contract, which we know runs through 2027, so I think he'll just stick it out.

Denny Hamlin 'Plans to' Return in 2026, But 'Is Going to Need Some Time' Denny Hamlin plans to return to the NASCAR Cup Series in 2026, but is going to need some time to get over Sunday's devastating loss.

#NASCAR... Is Denny Hamlin going to return to the NASCAR Cup Series in 2026?

"I plan to [return], I have a contract to, but at this point, there is absolutely no way that I can even think about a racecar. I'm going to need some time on this one."

#NASCAR... There's just something that feels different about this year's NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race for Denny Hamlin. For the last 20 years, he's been the bridesmaid, but is it written in the stars for Hamlin to be the so-called bride in 2025?
