Denny Hamlin Sees Chase Elliott as a Championship Threat
After a frustrating 42-race winless streak, Chase Elliott secured victory at the AutoTrader EchoPark Automotive 400 in Texas, marking a significant turning point in his career. The win not only ended his drought but also catapulted him into the championship conversation. Fellow driver Denny Hamlin believes that Elliott’s triumph is more than just a one-off; it signifies his resurgence as a serious contender for the NASCAR Cup Series title.
In a post-race interview with Frontstretch reporter Stephen Stumpf, Denny Hamlin shared his thoughts:
“I think they’ve slowly but surely gotten better, really as the season’s gone on. It seems like there’s a couple of organizations dominating right now, and he’s part of one of them. And this is certainly what he’s been capable of for a long time. He’s certainly a threat for sure, because he’s done it before.”
Hamlin’s endorsement underscores the belief that Chase Elliott’s resurgence is no fluke. As the 2020 NASCAR Cup Series champion, Elliott has the pedigree and skill set to challenge for the title once again.
