Denny Hamlin Reveals SVG?s Ultimate Test as He Doubts His Future in NASCAR

Shane Van Gisbergen’s debut victory at Chicago certainly made headlines, and now the racing world eagerly awaits his performance at Indianapolis. As the Supercar champion eyes a move to NASCAR by 2024, all eyes are on him, especially since his team deal is yet to be decided, adding to the significance of his upcoming race in Indianapolis.

Some attribute SVG’s success at Chicago to his experience in Australia’s street races, but tackling the challenge of Indianapolis Raceway will truly test the Kiwi driver. Interestingly, Denny Hamlin also shared his perspective on SVG’s future in NASCAR, offering intriguing insights into the talented driver’s potential for the upcoming Indy race.

Denny Hamlin tries to arrange pieces of the puzzle at Indy, behind SVG?s NASCAR entry

Every NASCAR driver has their strengths, with some excelling at Speedways and others performing better on road courses. Denny Hamlin is known for his skill on short tracks, while AJ Allmendinger is identified as a road course specialist.

However, Hamlin believes that the competition on the road course will be extremely tight, given that all Cup drivers have extensive experience on such tracks. The challenge ahead for SVG at the Indy Road Course is expected to be intense and closely contested.

On the ?Actions Detrimental? podcast Hamlin said, ?I think we’ll know more after Indy road course because you know I think that we’ve all got experience that road course race now. At Chicago, it’s really hard for me to explain but he was so much faster than the field in the tight street area?

Joe Gibbs Racing driver continued, ?I think we know a lot more about what is this guy sealing when we get to the Indy Road course because you’re going there to attract where all the Cup drivers got some experience we’re not gonna be as far off we’re gonna be more comfortable with what we’ve got and so, does he have that advantage over the field Indy road course? I don’t think so, that doesn’t mean he won’t contend for a win and be upfront it just won’t be as easy as what it was certainly at Chicago.?

NASCAR ovals are renowned for being one of the toughest challenges in motorsports due to their high speeds, close racing, and abrasive surfaces. Sometimes, drivers face an added layer of difficulty with weather conditions, often dealing with hot and humid conditions, which can make hydration and focus challenging. Rainy weather can also create problems, as the wet surface may cause cars to skid.

As SVG prepares for his next entry at the Indy Oval, he acknowledges the difficulties and expressed concerns, saying,

?And I have no illusion that those ovals are going to be easy. It’s going to take a lot of time to learn. I don’t have a plan, hopefully, I’ll work it out when I’m over there.”

Only time will reveal how SVG will handle the tight conditions and whether he can replicate his success from Chicago in Indy. What are your thoughts on SVG?s entry in NASCAR? In which team do you see him next year?
