NASCAR is even worse: Denny Hamlin criticizes NASCAR
Denny Hamlin does not support the recently proposed charter restrictions. With the current charter agreements expiring this year, Cup Series teams and NASCAR are currently negotiating new charter agreements.
As part of the new agreement, NASCAR implemented system changes that prohibit teams from owning more than three charters, with JGR and HMS receiving special exemptions.
But the Joe Gibbs Racing driver doesn’t believe this is the right approach to achieve equality. He argues that regardless of rule changes, the top teams will always have the best cars, teams and drivers, so it’s impossible to stop them from continuing to dominate as they have in the past.
The three-time Daytona 500 winner also expressed frustration with the slow progress of the charter negotiations. He stressed that he and the 23XI Racing team are eager to complete the negotiations early because the ownership group is hesitant to make future investments given the time constraints.
In a recent podcast, Denny Hamlin said that no team had asked for NASCAR’s proposed changes during the negotiation period, and the proposed changes were solely driven by NASCAR itself.
The new proposal may seem unconventional, but it is not counterproductive.
It is the right decision to limit the teams to four charters, as some teams often push themselves beyond their capabilities and hurt themselves in the process.
