One of the moves was expected, the other a mild surprise as NASCAR silly season warms up.
Joe Gibbs Racing announced that 50-race winner Denny Hamlin has extended his contract with the No. 11 Toyota team.
A couple of NASCAR team/driver pairings for 2024 and beyond have been confirmed in the past few days. One was almost expected; the other, not so much. And some might suggest that the first signing could have led to the second.announced that 50-race winner Denny Hamlin has extended his contract with the No. 11 Toyota team. At 42, the three-time Daytona 500 winner has spent his entire 20-year Cup Series career with the Gibbs organization.
Nemechek, a second-generation driver from Florida, will team with full-schedule driver Erik Jones and Johnson, who plans to run a limited schedule again in 2024. Jones will remain in the No. 43 car and Johnson will stay in the No. 84. Noah Gragson began the season in the No. 42 at LMC, but was fired several months ago for an improper posting on social media. The organization will continue to use substitute drivers the rest of this season.
After a few years away from Cup, the 26-year-old is ready to re-establish himself and his family name. “To be able to announce my plans and say I’ll be competing full-time relieves a lot of pressure,” he said at mid-week. “There’s so much to be done for next year and this gives us the opportunity to get the news out and move forward.”
