At 41 years of age, Clint Bowyer is pretty much one of the old guards in NASCAR. However, he is still going strong and will be looking forward to racing on the Charlotte Roval. This is because the Stewart-Haas Racing driver has a great track record at the road course. Out of 15 races, Bowyer has grabbed one win, in 2012. In addition to that, he finished in the Top 10 in the last three Charlotte Roval races. He also finished 2nd in the 2007 season while racing for Richard Childress Racing, and then finished 6th in 2009 with the same team. Furthermore, his sole Charlotte Roval win came while he was racing with the Michael Waltrip Racing team. Finally, he recorded race finishes of 6th, 3rd, and 4th with Stewart-Haas. CAN CLINT BOWYER DO IT AGAIN AT THE CHARLOTTE ROVAL? Truthfully speaking, Bowyer definitely has the pace to do it, and the Stewart-Haas car is no slouch. In the 2020 season, Clint Bowyer has consistently been in the Top 20. The only exceptions are Auto Club, Darlington, the first Charlotte race, and both Talladega races.

Mandatory Credit: Marvin Gentry-USA TODAY Sports It is also worth noting that the weather could wreak a bit of havoc at the track. According [https://www.nascar.com/news-media/2020/10/09/charlotte-motor-speedway-roval-cup-series-playoffs-weather/] to the 41-year old, ‘All Hell will break loose’. He is a little worried that the rain could make an already unpredictable race extremely difficult to master. However, he has normally excelled at the circuit and even competed in a rainy Montreal road-course event in 2008. The #14 driver will start the race from 11th place as he fights to secure his place in the NASCAR playoff Round of 8. However, the battle will not be easy as he will have to contend with the likes of Kevin Harvick and Denny Hamlin. In addition to that, Chase Elliott could also pose a massive threat as a past winner. This will also be Bowyer’s last chance to clinch a second Charlotte Roval win, as he will retire at the end of 2020.

At 41-years of age, Clint Bowyer is set to retire from full-time racing at the
end of the season. Before that, he has a good chance of winning another race.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Chase Elliott's wife and children</strong></h2>
Chase Elliott has never been very open about his private life. Though the driver has been romantically linked to a woman named Ashley Anderson, a University of Georgia graduate, since 2o21, an official confirmation is yet to come. The #9 driver has never been married and does not have any children.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Chase Elliott's net worth 2024</strong></h2>
Given Chase Elliott's dominance on the racetrack and his consistent performances, the driver enjoys quite a lot in monetary income. As per reports, the driver has an estimated net worth of $12 million which is inclusive of his endorsements, accumulated prize money and salary. As per Forbes, Chase Elliott reportedly made $10.2 million in 2020. As for his endorsements, Elliott has an endorsement with NAPA and Chevrolet. Apart from that, he is also associated with soft drink brand Mountain Dew, uniform rental company UniFirst, engineering &amp; technology company Bosch and multinational conglomerate Siemens.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Chase Elliottâ€™s career timeline</strong></h2>
Chase Elliott has been associated with racing since his teenage days. But his golden days arrived in 2010 when, at just 15 years of age, Elliott won 12 events in a single year and featured in the Top 10 a staggering 38 times. He was also named the Georgia Asphalt Pro Late Model Series Rookie of the Year. The very next year, the driver went on to win his first Snowball Derby, thereby becoming the race's youngest winner. And that's not all. At just 18 years of age, in 2013, Chase Elliott became the first-ever driver to win all four of the US's largest short track races, namely, the All-American 400, the Winchester 400, the World Crown 300, and the Snowball Derby.

He also was getting involved in stints in the ARCA circuit around the same time and, in 2013, with his Pocono Raceway win, Elliott became the youngest winner in ARCA superspeedway history.

The driver slowly rose through the ranks to reach his final destination, NASCAR. After a brief stint in the K &amp; N Pro Series, the driver finally made his debut in one of the top 3 factions of the stock car racing organization, the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nascar/nascar-truck-series/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Craftsman Truck Series</a>, in 2013. Driving for Hendrick Motorsports, the driver made his Truck debut at Martinsville Speedway where he finished P6.

The following year, the driver, for the first time in his career, started his <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nascar/nascar-xfinity-series/">Xfinity Series</a> career and made his well-deserved debut at the Daytona International Speedway and finished P15. But his true calling finally arrived in 2015 when he made participated in the NASCAR Cup Series. Barring his first year, the driver has participated in the division full-time since 2016. And boy did he show consistent results. While he finished tenth in standings in 2016, in the following year, he finished 5th. His most notable year came in 2020 when he clinched the Cup Series Championship for the first time in his career.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Chase Elliottâ€™s partnerships and endorsements</strong></h2>
Ever since Chase Elliott entered into the Cup Series, the driver hasn't had to worry about sponsorships and has had big names backing him. The National Automotive Parts Association(NAPA) was one of the very first to lend their support as they signed a three-year deal, to be a primary sponsor, with Elliott ahead of his 2016 full-time Cup debut.<img class="alignnone wp-image-2576662 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/chase-elliott-sceme.jpeg" alt="" width="1220" height="661" />

Later, in 2020, Hooters signed Chase Elliott as its brand ambassador in a multi-year deal for its Hooters Spirits line. The brand Elliott was a two-race primary sp0nsor in 2017 and one race in 2019. Additionally, they also appeared in three more races in 2022, including the World Wide Technology Raceway, and two NASCAR Cup Series playoff races at Bristol Motor Speedway and Las Vegas Motor Speedway. <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/nascar-news-lfg-champ-chase-elliott-bedazzles-nascar-fans-as-he-unveils-his-twenty-twenty-four-napa-ride/">The brand is also set to appear in the 2024 season</a> in three races.

Coca-Cola also joined Chase Elliott's team in 2023 as the official beverage partner. The brand appeared as an associate sponsor for the #9 team in select races, starting with the 2023 Daytona 500. Talking about the iconic partnership, Chris Bigda, director of sports marketing of the brand in North America, had said at the time, <em>"Coca-Cola is proud to welcome Chase to its Coca-Cola Racing Family and launch its partnership with Hendrick Motorsports.</em> <em>Continuing to partner with the Elliott family is an honor and thrilling legacy, as Chase joins our Coca-Cola Racing Family 25 years after his father Bill Elliott was a founding member back in 1998. Weâ€™re excited for our future together and refreshing this championship team on and off the track."</em>

Apart from that, UniFirst has also been a long-time primary partner of Chase Elliott, dating back to 2019. In 2024, the company will appear in five races, starting with Richmond Raceway. Its other appearances include <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nascar/martinsville-speedway/">Martinsville Speedway</a> (April 7), <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nascar/darlington-raceway/">Darlington Raceway</a> (May 12), Kansas Speedway (Sep. 29), and the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nascar/charlotte-motor-speedway/">Charlotte Motor Speedway</a> aka the Charlotte Roval (Oct 30).
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Chase Elliott's NASCAR career stats</strong></h2>

In his Xfinity career, the #9 HMS driver has finished P1 on five occasions besides clinching 67 Top 10s and two pole positions. As for NASCAR's third faction, the Truck Series, the driver has three wins, 15 Top 10s, and three poles.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Chase Elliottâ€™s records</strong></h2>
Chase Elliott has several memorable records to his name. At 22 years, 10 months, and nine days old, the driver became the youngest winner at Dover Motor Speedway in October 2018 after beating seasoned NASCAR veterans like Denny Hamlin (P2), <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/joey-logano/">Joey Logano</a> (P3), <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kurt-busch/">Kurt Busch</a> (P5) and the reigning Dover Motor Speedway winner from earlier that year, Kevin Harvick (P6).

Another record that the driver succeeded in getting was when he won on the 1.5-mile Kansas Speedway track in the Cup Series in 2018, thereby becoming the youngest winner. Apart from that, Chase Elliott is also the youngest winner at the Darlington Raceway in the Xfinity Series.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Chase Elliottâ€™s major achievements and awardsÂ </strong></h2>

Even off the racetrack, Chase Elliott has a variety of accolades to showcase. Following in his father Bill Elliott's footsteps, the HMS driver continues to be the reigning Most Popular Driver Award winner with six consecutive wins. In 2016, he took home the Rookie of the Year honor in the Cup Series after securing 10 top-five and 17 top-10 finishes in 36 starts, including a pair of runner-up finishes, both at Michigan International Speedway. He also won two poles that year.

Chase Elliott was also named as one of the 75 Greatest Drivers in 2023 on the stock car racing organization's 75th Anniversary alongside Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin, and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kevin-harvick/">Kevin Harvick</a>, among others.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Â Chase Elliottâ€™s playoff heartbreak</strong></h2>
As a Cup Series driver, it is certainly not easy to keep up consistency. However, Chase Elliott seemed to be quite promising on that front with regular playoff appearances since his debut season. However, come 2023, an unfortunate injury took away his playoff chances. The driver was reportedly snowboarding in Colorado when he suffered from a fractured tibia in his left leg. Subsequently, he missed six races and had to be substituted by Josh Berry.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Chase Elliott suspension</strong></h2>
2023 wasn't really Chase Elliott's year. On top of missing multiple races in the Cup Series, the driver also faced a one-race suspension from NASCAR for intentionally wrecking <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/denny-hamlin/">Denny Hamlin</a> during the Coca-Cola 600 in May. The incident occurred at the Charlotte Motor Speedway when the two drivers were driving side by side on Lap 186. After Hamlin squeezed Elliott into the wall, the #9 driver retaliated by hitting the rear of Hamlin's No. 11 Toyota.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Chase Elliott in popular media</strong></h2>
Chase Elliott's rise to popularity has been palpable. After a blistering performance during his rookie season, Chase Elliott was honored as a cover star in his state Georgia's official publication. He graced the August 2016 edition of Georgia Magazine in a story titled, <em>"Like father, like son"</em>. He was also the cover star for Athlon Sports in 2018 as "NASCAR's next superstar" and again in 2020 in the NASCAR season preview edition. He was also featured on the cover of the video game NASCAR Heat 5 in 2020. Â The game was available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One devices, and PC via stream.

Chase Elliott was one of the voices in the Cars 3 movie, that was released in 2017. He was one of the four next generation drivers and his character was named Chase Racelott.

Denny Hamlin

Denny Hamlin Net Worth 2024, Family, Controversies, and More Denny Hamlin is a stock car racing driver and team owner who has been competing in the NASCAR Cup Series for Joe Gibbs Racing since 2005.Â His first-ever race was at the Kansas Speedway, where he finished P32. The driver has amassed 51 wins in NASCAR&#8217;s top faction so far. One of his most notable achievements has been three Daytona 500 wins in 2016, 2019, and 2020. Hamlin was also named as one of NASCAR&#8217;s 75 Greatest Drivers in 2023. Besides his racing stint, he has also been the team owner of Cup Series team 23XI Racing since 2020, alongside NBA legend Michael Jordan. Denny Hamlin&#8217;s family Denny Hamlin was born to Dennis Hamlin and Mary Lou Clark on November 18, 1980, at the St. Joseph&#8217;s Women&#8217;s Hospital in Tampa, Florida. He has two older siblings, Kevin and Lisa Hamlin.Â The family decided to move to Virginia when he was only 2 years old. He was educated at Manchester High School in Chesterfield County, Virginia. The family might not have been the most financially stable one, but Denny&#8217;s parents&#8217; struggles to get him going in motorsports have definitely paid dividends. At the age of seven, Denny Hamlin made his go-kart debut and went on to win his first race. Before Joe Gibbs Racing took notice of him in 2004, he made rapid progress at the local tracks in Richmond, Virginia, dominating the Late Model Stock Cars, Grand Stocks, and Mini Stocks. He was signed to a driver development contract by JGR in 2004, and he took part in five Truck Series races that year before appearing in the Cup as a part-time driver in 2005. Denny Hamlin&#8217;s wife and children The motorsports veteran has two daughters, Taylor James Hamlin (born January 20, 2013), and Molly Gold Hamlin (born August 15, 2017), with Jordan Fish. Denny and Jordan are not married, and over the years, they have shared a rather complex relationship. While the couple had broken up in 2021, there were rumors of reconciliation doing the rounds. The two were spotted together at the 2023 NASCAR Awards Banquet, and Hamlin even spent Jordan Fish&#8217;s birthday with her in 2023. The couple got engaged on January 1, 2024, after Denny Hamlin went down on one knee. 2018 Monster Energy NASCAR Motorsport USA Cup Series Awards &#8211; Las Vegas Denny Hamlin, Jordan Fish arriving for the 2018 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Awards held at the Wynn Hotrel &amp; Casino, Las Vegas, November 29, 2018 PUBLICATIONxINxGERxSUIxAUTxONLY Copyright: xAJMx 39974306 | Credits: Imago Denny Hamlin&#8217;s net worth 2024 As he is one of the veterans in the Cup Series today driving for one of the biggest teams, Denny Hamlin is one of the highest-paid drivers in the competition today. He also makes a fair sum from being a co-owner of 23XI Racing and through his sponsorships. From his on-track and off-track successes, Hamlin has managed to build a net worth of approximately $65 million. Denny Hamlin has had FedEx as his primary sponsor since he started racing in the Cup Series. Joe Gibbs Racing was also able to bring in the big names like Coca-Cola and Mavis Tyres &amp; Brakes. Denny Hamlin&#8217;s career timeline NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Before Denny Hamlin made his debut in the NASCAR Cup Series, he was a regular face in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. Making his debut at the TSport 200 at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park in 2004 for EJP Racing, the driver managed to finish P10. He competed in four more Truck Series races that same year but failed to clinch a Top-10. Hamlin ultimately finished the season with 582 points, ranked 37th. After skipping the promotion in 2005, he returned the following year with Morgan-Dollar Motorsports and competed in a single race at Martinsville Speedway where he finished P8. That was his only race with the team. Over the next four years, Hamlin continued participating in single races each season for Billy Ballew Motorsports. His highest finish with the team came in 2008 when he clinched P3 at Atlanta Motor Speedway. However, the highest finish of his Truck Series career would not come until 2011 when he clinched a victory at the United Rentals 200 at the Martinsville Speedway, for Kyle Busch Motorsports, a race which Hamlin won again the next year. After spending three seasons with KBM, the driver&#8217;s last Truck race came in 2013 when he competed in the 2013 Kroger 200 at Martinsville, finishing P6.

Mandatory Credit: Gary A. Vasquez-USA TODAY Sports ARCA Menards Series Denny Hamlin had a short stint at the ARCA Menards Series where he ran only one race each in 2004 and 2005. In his first year at ARCA, Hamlin was seen piloting the #10 Pontiac for Fast Track Racing Enterprises, at the General Tire 200 race at Talladega Superspeedway, where he finished third. However, 2005 didn&#8217;t prove to be a good year for him as the driver finished P36, driving a #2 Pontiac at the Nashville ARCA 150 at the Nashville Superspeedway for Joe Gibbs Racing. Denny Hamlin&#8217;s journey to the NASCAR Xfinity and Cup SeriesÂ  It&#8217;s like Denny Hamlin was announcing his arrival to the world in 2004 when he decided to compete in different promotions across the roster. Besides his Truck and Arca debut in 2004, the driver also participated in his first-ever Xfinity Series race for Joe Gibbs Racing that same year at the Darlington Raceway, finishing eighth. In an Xfinity career spanning 19 years, Hamlin has participated in 163 races and clinched a victory on 18 occasions. The driver also flaunts 101 Top-10 finishes in the promotion. However, Hamlin&#8217;s ultimate calling came in 2005 when he debuted in the NASCAR Cup Series for Joe Gibbs Racing. The driver has remained with the team for the entirety of his Cup career driving the #11. Revealing how the team became a stepping-stone for his illustrious career, Hamlin, in 2017, revealed Joe Gibbs&#8217; son J.D. Gibbs was the one who gave him his first opportunity at JGR. In an X(formerly Twitter) video, Denny Hamlin explained, &#8220;He&#8217;s the one who actually gave me my first opportunity with Joe Gibbs Racing. We went to a test at Hickory Motor Speedway, called his dad up, they signed me about 13 years ago.&#8221;Â  The driver has participated in 650 races in the Cup Series till date, where he has clinched 51 wins and 340 Top-10 positions. Apart from that, the driver also flaunts 40 pole positions. Denny Hamlinâ€™s Partnerships and Endorsements Denny Hamlin has had a plethora of sponsorships over the years. Among the most notable is his long-standing relationship with FedEx which dates back to 2005 when he made his Cup Series debut. The conglomerate has served as the primary sponsor for the driver for over 30 races every year. However, in recent times, that number has come down significantly. The driver has also had a sponsorship with Coca-Cola and sported the brand on his car for the first time at the 2022 Quaker State 400 at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Hamlin&#8217;s other sponsors include Yahoo!, Shingrix, and Mavis Tyres &amp; Brakes, among others. HOMESTEAD, FLORIDA &#8211; OCTOBER 23: Denny Hamlin, driver of the #11 FedEx Ground Toyota, waves to fans as he walks onstage during driver intros prior to the NASCAR Cup Series Dixie Vodka 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway on October 23, 2022 in Homestead, Florida. (Photo by Sean Gardner/Getty Images) Denny Hamlinâ€™s investments Denny Hamlin is not just a full-time driver in the Cup Series. He is the co-owner of 23XI Racing with NBA legend Michael Jordan. Jordan and Hamlin announced on September 21, 2020, that they would be forming a Cup team to start competing in 2021, with Jordan holding the majority ownership. The team currently fields two full-time drivers, Bubba Wallace in the #23 and Tyler Reddick in the #45. Bubba Wallace was the first driver they signed after buying a guaranteed starting spot in every 2021 race after purchasing a charter from Germain Racing. Hamlin and Wallace are two of the most outspoken individuals in the Cup Series, and even the people they work closely with aren&#8217;t afraid to speak up, making it a feisty combo. As a team owner, Hamlin is a fan of NASCAR&#8217;s charter system as he believes it to be a lifeline for owners. The team was later expanded to two drivers, and Tyler Reddick joined in. The name, 23XI, is an amalgamation of Jordan&#8217;s most-used jersey number (23) and the JGR car number which Hamlin drives (11). The team has a technical alliance with Joe Gibbs Racing. Denny Hamlinâ€™s NASCAR career stats Ever since Denny Hamlin&#8217;s debut in NASCAR in 2004, the driver has been a regular face in the circuit for around 18 years. While Hamlin started his Xfinity and Craftsman Truck Series career in 2004, he was seen in a Cup race for the first time in 2005. Over his illustrious career, Denny Hamlin has participated in a staggering 650 races in the NASCAR Cup Series as of August 30, 2023. He has been to clinch victory on 51 occasions and also featured 340 times in the Top-10. Apart from that, Hamlin has also secured 40 pole positions during that time. As for his Xfinity series career, the driver has had 163 race features as of August 30, 2023. Emerging victorious in 18 races, Hamlin has been able to secure a pole position in 21 races with 101 Top-10s. Denny Hamlin&#8217;s Truck series career has been his least elaborate one among the Top 3 NASCAR promotions. The driver has participated in only 16 races over 9 years. With two wins and 10 Top-10s, the driver has secured a pole position only once. Â Denny Hamlin records With a career spanning almost two decades, Denny Hamlin has successfully proven his dominance in the sport. With 51 all-time wins as of December 2023, the driver sits at a comfortable 13th position just behind the Petty family patriarch, Lee Petty on the All-Time NASCAR Cup Series Wins List. Apart from that, the #11 JGR driver has taken a victory lap in the Daytona 500 race thrice in his career with two of those wins in successive years. Beating the likes of Martin Truex Jr, Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick, Hamlin&#8217;s first Daytona 500 win came in 2016. Subsequently, the driver went on to win the crown jewel race again in 2019 and 2020. However, those are not Denny Hamlin&#8217;s only crown-jewel race victories. The driver emerged victorious in the Cook Out Southern 500 race held at the iconic Darlington Raceway in 2010, 2017, and 2021. Apart from that, he also won the Coca-Cola 600 race in 2022, his first and only victory in the revered event. However, Hamlin has yet to secure his maiden Brickyard 400 victory at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Denny Hamlin&#8217;s major achievements and awards Denny Hamlin, undoubtedly, forms the crÃ¨me de la crÃ¨me of stock car racing today. The veteran has several accolades to show for it as well. However, one of his most significant achievements came in 2023 when he was added to the list of NASCAR&#8217;s 75 Greatest Drivers list. Making his place among icons like Jimmie Johnson, Dale Earnhardt, and Jeff Gordon, Hamlin has almost reached the pinnacle of his stock car racing career. Denny Hamlin also won the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series Rookie of the Year award in 2006. With 330 points and two race wins, he beat Clint Bowyer and Martin Truex Jr who were second and third on the list with 271 and 243 points respectively. Also in the running that year were Reed Sorenson, JJ Yeley, and David Stremme, who secured 222, 213, and 192 points respectively. Denny Hamlin and his controversial &#8216;Family Guy&#8217; tweet Hamlin has often been surrounded with controversy but there have been moments when he has taken things a tad too far. One such moment was when he posted a Family Guy meme about Kyle Larson that was cause for outrage among a lot of people. The JGR man tweeted it after Larson&#8217;s ambitious move at Talladega in the 2022 Cup Series went wrong and he ended up wrecking. The video Hamlin posted was of an offensive Asian stereotype and given Kyle Larson was half-Japanese, very few people found it funny. Denny Hamlin eventually took down the tweet after a lot of backlash and apologized for his actions on social media.Â &#8220;I took down a post I made earlier today after reading some of the comments. It was a poor choice of memes and I saw how it was offensive. It came across totally wrong. I apologize,&#8221;Â he wrote. However, NASCAR still decided to send him to sensitivity training as a result. Denny Hamlin and his relationship with Kyle Busch Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin might have been teammates but the two were never really fond of one another. Both drivers were aggressive and outspoken and that often turned out to be a recipe for disaster. When they were at Joe Gibbs Racing, the two raced each other on track on multiple occasions and things did not always end up well. As Rowdy made the jump to Richard Childress Racing, neither of them had to pretend to be nice to the other in public since they weren&#8217;t teammates anymore. Early on in the 2023 season, Kyle Busch said that there was a lack of respect among drivers in the NASCAR garage, something that wasn&#8217;t the case back in the day. He did not take any names but the whole conversation was in light of Denny Hamlin intentionally wrecking Ross Chastain in the first Phoenix race of the year.Â &#8220;We have completely lost any sense of respect in the garage between the drivers at all. Thatâ€™s where the problem lies. Nobody gives two ***** about anybody else. Itâ€™s just a problem where everybody takes advantage of everybody as much as they can. Weâ€™re all selfish, granted. But there was an etiquette that once did live here,&#8221;Â he said. Kyle Busch did not leave Joe Gibbs Racing on the best of terms and while some may speculate that Denny Hamlin may have one of the reasons, there were a lot more pressing matters. Money and performance were certainly a lot higher on that list than a teammate. Feb 20, 2022; Daytona Beach, Florida, USA; NASCAR Cup Series driver Denny Hamlin (11) drafts with driver Kyle Busch (18) during the Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway. Mandatory Credit: Mike Dinovo-USA TODAY Sports Denny Hamlin embraces his â€œvillainâ€ crown Denny Hamlin has been branded as the new villain of NASCAR and he has embraced that title with open arms. One of the people who he had some beef with in the 2023 season is Kyle Larson. The two raced hard in the final lap of the first Kansas race of the season for the lead. With just one turn remaining, Hamlin made slight contact with Larson which nudged him into the wall. Thankfully, the HMS man was able to maintain his composure but Hamlin had passed him for the lead by then and he won the race. The two drivers had a tense moment in Pocono, however. When the race restarted with less than 10 laps remaining. The two were battling for the lead and Hamlin pushed Larson up the track and into the wall. After the race, the HMS driver expressed his dissatisfaction with his JGR counterpart with a seething tirade. â€œIâ€™ve been cost a lot of good finishes by him throughout my career, and I know he says I race a certain way, but I donâ€™t think Iâ€™ve ever had to apologize to him about anything. So, not that Iâ€™m sure heâ€™s going to say sorry after this, but it is what it is,&#8221;Â he said. Turns out the HMS man was frustrated with both his racing and how Hamlin is on the Actions Detrimental podcast. Being booed everywhere he goes and branded as NASCAR&#8217;s villain may be unnerving to some people but Denny Hamlin has embraced the dark side.Â â€œI think there was a time to uh reel that back in but I just think that thereâ€™s no going back at this point,&#8221;Â he had said about the matter. Denny Hamlinâ€™s plans for retirement Denny Hamlin is 43-years-old in 2023. A lot of people may suggest retirement is on the horizon for the JGR man but given Hamlin&#8217;s attitude, he has shown zero signs of even thinking about hanging up his boots. The #11 driver signed a multi-year deal with Joe Gibbs which will start from the 2024 season. It is safe to say that NASCAR&#8217;s villain is here to stay for a few more years. After all, the hunger for winning the Cup Series is yet to be satisfied.

Kevin Harvick was born on December 8, 1975, to Mike Harvick and JoNell Harvick. He has a younger sister named Amber, who prefers to stay away from the limelight.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Kevin Harvickâ€™s Wife and Children</strong></h2>

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Kevin Harvickâ€™s Net Worth 2024</b></h2>
Having been a Cup Series driver for over twenty years, Kevin Harvick has reportedly amassed an approximately $70 million net worth. He was reportedly being paid $10.9 million at Stewart-Haas Racing before he retired and was reportedly one of the highest paid drivers in his last full-time season in 2023. While the retired veteran has taken up new duties as a full-time FOX TV Analyst, his salary hasn't been disclosed.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Kevin Harvickâ€™s Career TimelineÂ Â </b></h2>
Kevin Harvick's relation with the race-track dates back to his toddler days. Little Harvick was reportedly gifted a go-kart by his parents as a kindergarten graduation gift. And since that day, the racer hasn't had to look back. The driver soon started participating in go-karting events, and notably won two Grand National championships and seven national championships. However, Harvick didn't stop there as he began racing in late models on a part-time basis during his teenage days. And just three years later, in 1995, Harvick made his <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nascar/nascar-truck-series/">NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series</a> debut at Mesa Marin Raceway, where he finished P27.

Then in 1999, he made his Xfinity Series (then called the NASCAR Busch Series) debut at Rockingham Speedway. Unfortunately, due to an engine failure, the racer had to finish at a dismal P42, despite having started at P24.

Subsequently, Kevin Harvick was scheduled to make a full-time <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nascar/nascar-cup-series/">Cup Series</a> in 2002 with <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nascar/richard-childress-racing/">Richard Childress Racing</a>. However, the Intimidator Dale Earnhardt's tragic death during the 2001 Daytona 500 changed all plans and Kevin Harvick had to fill in for Earnhardt for the rest of the season, starting with the Dura Lube 400 at Rockingham Speedway, where he finished P14. And 13 years later, Harvick finally won the Cup Series in 2014.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Kevin Harvickâ€™s Partnerships and Endorsements</strong></h2>
According to Kevin Harvick's official website, he is backed by brands like RealTree, Busch Beer, Hunt Brothers Pizza, Pristine Auction.com, Ezgo and Treetop.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Kevin Harvickâ€™s NASCAR Stats</b></h2>
In his elaborate Cup career, Kevin Harvick has clinched 60 wins, 444 Top-10s and 31 pole positions in 826 races. In the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nascar/nascar-xfinity-series/">Xfinity Series</a>, in 349 races, the driver has 47 wins, 261 Top-10s and 25 poles. As for NASCAR's third division, the Craftsman Truck Series, Harvick has four pole positions, 62 top-10s and 14 wins in 124, to his name.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Kevin Harvickâ€™s Major Achievements and Awards</b></h2>
There's hardly anything the driver has yet to clinch in his NASCAR career. From championship wins to iconic race wins, Harvick has it all! He won the 2014 Cup Series championship, besides being named as one of NASCAR's 75 Greatest Drivers in 2023. Apart from that, Harvick is also tops the list for wins at the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nascar/phoenix-raceway/">Phoenix Raceway</a> with nine victories.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Kevin Harvick and Dale EarnhardtÂ </b></h2>
Kevin Harvick's foray into the Cup Series will always be a part of the history books. Initially, after showing blistering performances in other NASCAR divisions, Harvick was roped in to make his Cup debut in 2002 on a full-time basis, for Richard Childress Racing. However, that plan didn't see the light of day as, in 2001, during the Daytona 500, Dale Earnhardt met his tragic end. Now, left with a vacant No. 29 Chevrolet, Richard Childress decided to field Harvick on an immediate basis that saw him compete the rest of the season, 35 races to be precise, in place of the Intimidator.

Kevin Harvick and Dale Earnhardt shared a camaraderie like no other. Being a part of the same team back then saw the duo form a friendship where Dale Earnhardt reportedly also took up a mentorship role for Harvick, who was in his early 20s back then.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Kevin Harvick Controversies</b></h2>
While Kevin Harvick has made some memorable friendships in the circuit during his long career, feuds have also followed him on quite some occasions. One of the most memorable ones date back to 2014 when Kevin Harvick, despite not being involved in a fight directly, decided to stir the pot. The incident unfolded during the final playoff elimination round at the AAA Texas 500. Keselowski seemingly squeezed between the No. 48 of <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jimmie-johnson/">Johnson</a> and the No. 24 of <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jeff-gordon/">Gordon</a> in a bid to steal the win but instead bumped Gordon, which ended up spinning him to the back of the field and finish at a dismal P29.

Later, after the conclusion of the race, Gordon stormed over to pit road to confront <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/brad-keselowski/">Keselowski</a>, who didn't seem too interested in a feud. However, things took a turn when Kevin Harvick suddenly came up from behind Keselowski and pushed him toward Jeff Gordon. What followed was a massive fistfight. While Harvick, at the time, may have instigated the fight, he later expressed his regret for the shove.

https://twitter.com/NASCARONFOX/status/1190282849276104704

<em>â€œI know what I was thinking when I pushed him into the fight and then it caused the chaos. For me, my mind was, â€˜Man, we didnâ€™t win tonight. We need chaos'â€¦We needed the story to go elsewhere other than us and being out of contention. It did exactly what I wanted it to do, but itâ€™s not the best thing for your kids to find on YouTube, starting the fight,â€Â </em>Harvick had later shared on 'Stacking Pennies With Corey LaJoie'.

One other driver that the 2014 Cup Series Champion was seen locking horns with was <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/joey-logano/">Joey Logano</a>. The duo was often seen racing hard against each other and even engaging in multiple run-ins. In 2010, at the Pocono Raceway, Harvick had nudged Logano from behind, which sent him spinning. And later, during a post-race interview, Logano didn't holf back from firing shots at both Harvick and his wife DeLana.<em> â€œI donâ€™t know what his deal is with me, but itâ€™s probably not his fault, you know, his wife wears the firesuit in the family and tells him what to do. I donâ€™t know what Iâ€™ve ever done to piss him off, but heâ€™s apparently stupid,â€</em> Logano had said. That's not the end of it, though. Again, in 2015, a similar incident took place, but this time it was Logano who nudged Harvick during the Sprint Unlimited at Daytona International Speedway.

https://twitter.com/NASCARONFOX/status/1134497767089303552

While the feud seemed like it would have no end, the duo have let of the bad blood, and are even good friends today.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Kevin Harvick Retirement and Fox booth analyst</b></h2>
A saddening news hit the NASCAR circuit in January 2023, when Kevin Harvick announced that he would retire after the 2023 season.

<em>â€œThere is absolutely nothing else in the world that I enjoy doing more than going to the race track, and Iâ€™m genuinely looking forward to this season. But as Iâ€™ve gone through the years, I knew there would come a day where I had to make a decision. When would it be time to step away from the car? Iâ€™ve sought out people and picked their brains. When I asked them when they knew it was the right time, they said itâ€™ll just happen, and youâ€™ll realize thatâ€™s the right moment. Youâ€™ll make a plan and decide when itâ€™s your last year. Itâ€™s definitely been hard to understand when that right moment is because weâ€™ve been so fortunate to run well. But sometimes there are just other things going on that become more important and, for me, that time has come,â€</em> Harvick had said in an official press release.

And just a month later, it was announced that the veteran would be joining the FOX Sports Broadcast Booth for the Cup Series in 2024. He was roped in as a part of a three-member team alongside Mike Joy and Clint Bowyer.

Itâ€™s definitely been hard to understand when that right moment is because weâ€™ve been so fortunate to run well.

He was roped in as a part of a three-member team alongside Mike Joy and Clint Bowyer.
