Denny Hamlin has secured a major sponsorship deal with National Debt Relief (NDR) for the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season, marking NDR's first foray into team sponsorship. The partnership will see NDR sponsor Hamlin's No. 11 Toyota during four key races, including the highly anticipated Daytona 500, as well as events at the Circuit of The Americas, Charlotte Motor Speedway, and Talladega Superspeedway. In a press release, the 44-year-old said:

"National Debt Relief is going to be a great asset to our team. Growing up, my parents did everything possible to further my racing career, and that was obviously not easy financially. So, I understand the reality that so many people are facing and the uncertainty that financial hardship can bring. I’m excited about this partnership and the opportunity we have to promote National Debt Relief’s services that allow people to get out of debt and get their life back on track."

As Denny Hamlin enters the 2025 NASCAR season, he faces increased pressure as a key driver for Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR). Following a challenging previous season where JGR struggled, culminating in an 18-race winless streak, Hamlin's performance will be crucial in meeting the team's high expectations. He has achieved 54 career wins since his Cup Series debut in 2005 but is still in pursuit of that elusive championship title.
