But the biggest shock addition in the Cup nominees was NASCARās anti-hero Denny Hamlin. He himself said, āShocking. I donāt know that Iāve ever been in the top 10, so that in itself was quite a shock. I donāt know whatās changed, but certainly do appreciate it.ā
The way his legacy has shaped this year, and the struggle heās shown, along with the family and legal battles heās fighting aside from racing, fans are loving him now.
