Denny Hamlin is 'absolutely content' with never winning a NASCAR championship

When Denny Hamlin decides to retire from NASCAR competition, he'll go down as one of the greatest drivers in the sport's history regardless of whether or not he wins a Cup Series championship. 

Hamlin, a veteran of nearly 20 Cup Series seasons, is currently marked by many as the best driver in NASCAR history to never win a championship. While that's a reputation Hamlin is trying to change, it's not something that keeps him up at night.

As Hamlin, 44, navigates through the twilight years of his career, his life is filled with other ventures aside from making the No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota go fast. He's a co-owner of 23XI Racing, a podcast host and, as of June 11, a father of three. 

In an interview with Prime Video analyst and NASCAR Hall of Famer Carl Edwards, Hamlin said that the his personal life and his family keeps him content, regardless of what he may or may not accomplish over the rest of his racing career. 

"I am absolutely content not winning a championship," Hamlin told Edwards. "That is not high on my priority list. It just truly isn't. Now, I need to be a good day. I need to make sure I'm doing all the right things in the race car (and) being prepared. That's just part of growing up. I think everyone's priorities change."
