Denny Hamlin & Daughter Back 2X Cup Champ Joey Logano With “Resurgence Year” Prediction for 2024

Races are deemed to be great by the extremely talented drivers competing in them. But what makes them greater is when drivers acknowledge and support the growing skills of their fellow drivers. Denny Hamlin takes the lead in this sporty camaraderie as he keeps pushing his fellow racers. He recently admitted the growing talent of Joey Logano. The sweet cherry on top is that even Hamlin’s daughter is rooting for the Team Penske driver.

Joey Logano is indeed an extremely talented driver and has made his team proud several times. He brought glory to Team Penske with two championship titles in the Cup series. The 32-year-old driver was recognized for his talents when he was a teenager by Cup legend Mark Martin.

Denny Hamlin and his daughter are unanimous in backing Logano

Denny Hamlin is about as raw and candid about his opinions as any other driver. That’s what packs his statements with power and accuracy. However, recently, he passed the microphone to his daughter to hear her predictions about the possible best racer in 2024. In a recent episode on the Spotify podcast, Actions Detrimental, Hamlin’s daughter Taylor shares her views about 2024.

Hamlin asked Taylor who she thinks is going to be this year’s champion. But he forbade her from taking her father’s name. She went on to fluctuate between a few names. At first, she said, “I don’t know why, but I’m getting some Christopher Bell moments right now. I think he’ll have a good year this year.” Then Hamlin gave a personal touch: he felt it was a deja vu moment, as his daughter might have mentioned Bell’s name before.

Then Taylor squared down on Joey Logano before her dad finalized her verdict. Then Denny Hamlin seconded her judgment. He said, “Joey probably didn’t love this podcast, but I do believe this is a, this could be a Joey Logano resurgence year…I’m gonna be fair, I think Joey’s in for a big year.”

Both Denny Hamlin and his daughter may have hit the nail on the head with their predictions. Joey Logano is certainly one of the most ambitious drivers out there. He was discovered early on by Mike Martin when he was just 10 years old.

Martin had said, “I saw Joey race Legends cars, which are the hardest things in the world to drive I think. At 10 years old racing in the Pro Division. I’m talking about the Pro Division. I’m talking about the grown-ups. You know, and whipping them.” Martin predicted, “When I saw him whipping them, and I was like, so this little kid gets out of the car, and I’m like, he’s gonna be NASCAR champion.”

Denny Hamlin and his daughters gave a unanimous verdict on this year’s possible champion. The father-daughter rapport seems to be immense in the field of racing.

Hamlin’s daughters expect great things from him

Denny Hamlin has quite a unique relationship with his daughters. He includes them throughout the length and breadth of the sport and seeks their thoughts on crucial racing questions. In the recently released Netflix series ‘NASCAR: Full Speed’, we see Hamlin in his family sphere.

His daughter Molly asks him the number of races he has competed in. Upon hearing 600, they gasp in surprise. He playfully asks them how many he should ideally win. When both girls spell out ‘100’ in unison, Hamlin bursts out laughing.

The portrayal of Hamlin’s sweet relationship with his daughters has warmed the hearts of fans and haters alike. One user tweeted: “Already watched all the episodes besides one. Man I didn’t like Denny. But dam man full speed got me becoming a fan. Get that championship this year”.

Denny Hamlin rooting for Joey Logano has already gotten us at the edge of our seats for 2024. It’s time to sit back and wait to see who the champion will be.
