Denny Hamlin has shared his opinion on Chase Elliott’s chances of winning the championship following his victory at Texas. The 2023 NASCAR Cup Series season was a difficult one for Hendrick Motorsports, as Elliott suffered a snowboarding accident before the third race, resulting in a six-week absence and a winless season. However, Elliott ended his 42-race winless streak with a convincing win at Texas Motor Speedway. This win, along with his consistent top-10 finishes throughout the season, has put him in the conversation for the championship, according to JGR’s analysis. Hamlin believes that this win has given Elliott a significant boost in confidence for the rest of the season and can positively impact his approach to future races. Hamlin also emphasized that Elliott’s win was not a result of race strategy or fuel mileage, but rather his team’s right approach and decision-making. As a three-time Daytona 500 winner, Hamlin is convinced that Elliott has positioned himself as a strong contender for the championship and is excited to see how many more wins the No:9 team can secure in the upcoming races and throughout the season.
