Denny Hamlin made feelings known about Chris Gayle's integration into 11 team's system

Denny Hamlin, the key driver for Joe Gibbs Racing, has expressed his thoughts on the integration of Chris Gayle into the No. 11 team's system. Following the departure of the previous crew chief, Hamlin emphasized the importance of having a strong leadership presence as they transition into the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season. He believes that Gayle's experience and familiarity with the team will be vital for maintaining competitive performance, especially as they aim to build on past successes. He talked to Bob Pockrass of Fox Sports and revealed how Chris Gabehart helped Gayle transition to JGR.

He said:

“You know, going through that process, it appears to me that Chris Gayle has more adopted the #11 way of doing things. He has his own ways of doing things for sure, but, he came into our system versus us changing to a new system. Obviously when he came in, it’s the entire #11 team besides the crew chief that changed. I think Chris Gabehart kind of educated him on what our system was, what we look for, and he’s going from there.”

As the 2025 season approaches, Hamlin's endorsement of Gayle signifies a strategic move for JGR as they seek to improve their performance on the track. The integration of Gayle is seen as a crucial step in solidifying the team's foundation and fostering an environment conducive to success.
