Denny Hamlin: NASCAR should keep in motion

Denny Hamlin Had a huge time in the Bowman Gray Stadium during the iteration of the 2025 collision Nascar brought the Cup series to Winston Salem, North Carolina.

Nevertheless, he is not convinced that circuit 2026 should drive for the event. During the last episode of him Measures disadvantageous The podcast, the veteran of the Cup series, explained why he believes that the collision should continue and bring Nascar into areas that normally do not experience.

“I think you probably have to continue moving,” said Hamlin, whether Winston Salem should be an option for the collision in 2026. Because it is a trace that they had never seen before. I think you prepared so much in LA in the first year because it is a route that you had never seen before. How will these boys navigate? How will you adapt to it? I think if you return in successive years, there is a little bit – there is no wow or a shock factor.

“The race could be better. We could end with a great side-by-side finish. You never know, but I just think that there is – no tiredness, but there is only a well -known and the unknown that you have when you go to a new place for the first time. “

When it matters, Hamlin believes that the fans will be set at a new place at the Cup series, regardless of where it is. Regardless of whether it is Brazil, Portland or Montreal, NASCAR is becoming apparent when it ends in one place that is normally not on your schedule.

“I think fans don’t look – they can put them anywhere,” added Hamlin. “You can use them in Portland, Oregon. You will watch because it is: »Hey, we have never seen the Cup cars there. Let’s see how it turns out, right? That is my point that people face to see the unknown.

“As soon as you know and see it, you will be fed up at some point if you just adapt more of it. So that’s exactly what. These are the ebbs and rivers of sport. “

Obviously, Hamlin believes Bowman Gray will lose his novelty when Nascar returns the collision on the 2026 route. He is not the only one with this opinion, but other drivers have pushed back this term how Joey Logano In fact, used for the route, praised the venue and believed that the Cup series should return next season.

Time will say what the decision -makers of sport develop, but Denny Hamlin is never shy to express his thoughts about this matter. Whether it is in Bowman Gray or not, the collision will continue to be a must for the Nascar Cup series in 2026.
