Denny Hamlin is in Las Vegas for today’s NASCAR Cup Series race, hoping to snap his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Christopher Bell’s three-race winning streak and earn his first victory in the 2025 season. Regardless of how the No. 11 driver finishes the race on Sunday, he’s already going home with a lot more money than he brought with him to the desert.

The 44-year-old made headlines on Friday night after he hit a jackpot at one casino and won more than $126,000. Hamlin shared a video on Instagram of his win and celebration with those in his party and other casino guests.

On Saturday night, it happened again on the same style of machine. This time, however, it wasn’t as big of a win. The driver shared another video where he won just shy of $86,000. But that’s not where the story ends.

On Sunday morning, Kenny Wallace posted a video on X talking about the Joe Gibbs Racing driver and his gambling successes. The former NASCAR driver totaled the two jackpots and indicated Hamlin’s earnings were around $211,000. He questioned if the three-time Daytona 500 winner had won more money and asked him to respond with a new total.

Hamlin did just that. “330 Kenny,” the driver replied.

330 Kenny.

Based on that last comment, the JGR pilot won an additional $119,000 overnight in Sin City for a total of $330,000.

Interestingly, this isn’t Hamlin’s first times to win big money. At Phoenix in 2022 after the fall race, the driver hit five of six numbers in the $2 billion Powerball, which translated to $50,000 dollars. He revealed his winnings on his “Actions Detrimental” podcast in March 2023.

He's going to have a lot more (money) to talk about on this week's podcast.
