I’m a Hamlin fan, and the answer is no. Denny’s got a lot of great wins, but he has zero championships and is MANY wins behind Petty, Earnhardt, and Johnson on the all-time list. He’s easily one of the great hall-of-famers, but anyone putting him in the GOAT conversation is stupid or trolling.

I can agree with this, finally someone who understands and isn’t just saying he’s bad because they are a Hamlin hater

Championships don’t really matter much since 2004. Especially since 2014.

Dude Kyle Busch is closer to goat status than Denny Hamlin. And he’s like nowhere near. And ofc this is Kyle petty’s opinion

Kyle Busch has really fallen off in the second half of his career. Hamlin is still as good as ever.

As a Denny fan, he’s never gonna beat out Petty or Earnhardt.
If he wins the championship and reaches 60 wins, he’s undoubtedly in the top 10 though

Denny is a great driver and one of the best to ever do it BUT putting him in the GOAT tier with Earnhardt, Gordon, Petty, and Johnson is crazy. Hamlin is right around 10-15 all time imo

Can’t be a G.O.A.T without a championship. Even then in NASCAR you’ll need multiple championships to reach G.O.A.T status.

Its wild that even if under the old points system Hamlin still doesnt win a title. Ive been watching Hamlin since he was in the Xfinity series in 2004 and when i say he came out of nowhere he literally did late in 2005. The rest is history. He is a HOF for sure but he needs at least 3 to be in the convo and he has zero. Its crazy because hes literally won EVERYTHING but a title in Cup. Crazy

Denny Hamlin will never be close to goat status

What the goat of wrecking people, him and Danica are tied for that honor. Well they have about equal levels of talent.

Absolutely not. I believe one of the prerequisite boxes that need to be checked is a championship, if not, multiple championships. He’s never stepped up when on the biggest of stages. GOATs step up time after time and prove themselves. He hasn’t.

Ok forgot about giving so much credit to denny for being the best driver at saving his tires. All 4 Gibbs cars ran 1-2-3-4 all day long, cleary their cars were set up better to save the tires. Dennys only competition was his own teamates, they had the cars that could last the lifespan of the tires. hell they nearly had the whole field a lap down, gimme a break

Denny is the modern equivalent of Mark Martin…but not as humble

Agree with Kyle. Masterful drive, especially through the traffic. Head and shoulders above the rest on the day.
