Denny Hamlin is aiming for his fourth Daytona 500 victory with a strong focus on winning at all costs.

He discussed his strategy and mindset for the race, emphasizing his aggressive approach and disregard for stage points.

“Whoever I think’s got the most momentum that can get me clear as well,” Hamlin said. “I’ve only got so many of these left that I’m able to compete in. I’m gonna have to do whatever I have to do to win another.”

As a driver for Joe Gibbs Racing and co-owner of 23XI Racing with Michael Jordan, Hamlin prioritizes individual success over team dynamics during the Daytona 500.

“I think over the years we’ve seen this thing develop into manufacturers, alliances and all that. But, ultimately, you have to be selfish,” he said. “You’re not going to be happy pushing a teammate to a victory. You’re gonna want to get it for yourself.

“You are more aggressive in this race because I don’t consider the 2024 season starting ‘til next week. I don’t care about stage points. I don’t care about any of that stuff until we get out of this weekend because this weekend is an event in itself,” Hamlin said.

The race was postponed to Monday due to weather conditions, with Hamlin set to start 11th in the NASCAR event following the Xfinity Series race earlier in the day.
