For me he deserved more the 2010 Champion than Jimmie Johnson

[@ashketchumsdad]

@@hacksawjimthuggin7411 plus three shootout wins, and a couple of duels. But the original comment is probably using "the eye test". He's always in the front, aggressive yet rarely causes problems, plus he will always be linked to figuring out the tandem

[@joshjarnagin3161]

The fact Scott Riggs finished 4th here and then DNQ’d the 500 is astonishing. He was even top 5 the previous 500

[@larsongame4120]

Darian did a Busts video on Riggs. Evernham had his head in the clouds because of his affair with Erin Crocker and as a result the performance of both Scott and Jeremy declined as a result while the resources were shifted to Kasey.

@@joshjarnagin3161 Actually, the 2005 points went to Sterling Marlin's #14 team with MB2 Motorsports, as that was the team Riggs drove for previously. The #10 car in 2006 was previously the part-time #91 Evernham car, which was driven by a "semi-retired" Bill Elliott. So while Riggs kept the number and sponsor with him, he did not retain the owner points.

[@AlonsoRules]

This is just a superspeedway. The real shock is when he swept Pocono as a rookie.

[@GregBrownsWorldORacing]

I remember that, I was listening on the radio... I didn't really want a rookie (who hadn't paid his dues) to win in his first race. Now, he's one of my favorites.

[@furi7619]

Man that theme music brings back some memories.

[@BMoney8600]

Furi yes it does

[@paullilko41]

I was 6 and I remember this very well. Hamlin swept the pocono races in 06 too, finished 3rd In points, won ROTY by a longshot. The other rookies in 06 all were huge flops. He Had one of the best rookie seasons ever, maybe second to Tony Stewart.

[@BrettMKW]

Bowyer and MTJ were both in the 2006 rookie class. Newman and Johnson also had great rookie seasons and Johnson was in fact leading the points going into Dega 2. I would probably agree with your top 2 at least as far as I can remember. Hard to believe Montoya was the last rookie to win a non shortened non plate race.

[@paullilko41]

Whoops I forgot about bowyer and truex. I was mainly thinking of Yeley and Sorensen lol. Yea Jimmie and Newman had great rookie season too, Jimmie mighta won it all had he not had that pace lap incident at Dega with Mark Martin. Hopefully that last fact about Montoya will change this year with Custer or Bell

[@BrettMKW]

Jimmie wasn’t winning it all, his engine blew in that race so he DNFs anyway. Also he ended up more than a full race behind Tony for the championship so even if he wins Dega he still wouldn’t win the championship. I think there’s a decent chance the stat changes this that is like to see a rookie win on outright speed. Not fuel mileage or rain shortened or plate race. Yeley...oh god I never understood why he deserved to get the 18.

[@paullilko41]

Fair enough, that was before I started watching. That was the hendrick engine catastrophe race too. I just remember seeing on an old nbc prerace show maybe after he swept Dover that they thought he might win it all. Yeah Leavine Family Racing has made some huge strides recently, hopefully Bell can pull through and get them a W. And Yeley I dont think ever won a Busch race, Gibbs is lucky he rebounded after flopping on him and Jason Leffler. Shoulda just kept Bobby Labonte for another year or two IMO.

[@BrettMKW]

To be fair about Yeley they kinda had no choice but to put him in the car. Labonte actually asked Gibbs to be released from his contract after two mediocre seasons and Gibbs granted it. I forget where I read that though. It was no different than Stewart leaving a year early and them being forced to bring up Logano or Edwards’ shock retirement and JGR bringing up Suarez. I don’t think he deserved the xfinity ride in the first place, his debut in the top 3 series was in JGR’s 18 lol. Leffler on the other hand was a mistake and he managed to DNQ the Coke 600. That’s why Labonte had FedEx on his 18 car and he almost won.

[@austinreed5805]

[@NASCARFAN93100]

IMO He's more popular than Logano and Kyle Busch

[@ashketchumsdad]

The tables turned last year for Hamlin. He had his greatest season in his entire career, right after all his haters claimed he was done, becauss of the one season he went winless. Plus he pretty much made 2010 irrelevant when he scored a career defining win at Phoenix. Seemed to be the feel good moment of the year

[@wingracer1614]

There's definitely a lot of haters out there but nowhere near as many as Bush or Logano. Even Chase seems to have moved on.

[@TellaSignTV]

He’s doing something right, can’t win without making a few enemies along the way. Haters will come, so will fans.

[@change_your_oil_regularly4287]

Great to see team work between team mates 👍

[@stevendew7464]

It’s amazing to me how folks make it to the top. Take this with a grain of salt, but a few years ago I was getting my house painted by a company out of Chesterfield, Virginia who sponsored Denny at southside speedway in Chesterfield. I got to talking to the fella and he told me about the engine builder for Denny’s cars when He raced at southside Speedway. He went on to say that fella could build an engine like no one else but sadly he died of a cocaine overdose. So Denny racked up wins at that small speedway, which drew attention to JD Gibbs, hence the rest is history and the fella that built the fast engines isn’t around anymore. Crazy life man. Right place right time.

[@AEMoreira81]

The next chapter should be: at a track he had never seen before, that season, Denny Hamlin swept both races at Pocono his rookie year, from the pole each race, despite spinning out on Lap 51 of the Pocono 500 (while leading).
