Denny Hamlin says he wants to ‘win all I can while this window is sཧtill there’ amid speculation about his long-term future in the NASCAR Cup Series.

Making his debut in the Cup Series in 2006, Hamlin has gone on to become one of the most successful stock car drivers of his generation, winning 56 races and achieving a best finiꩲsh of second in the championship in 2010.

But the Florida native🐼 will turn 45 at the end of his 20th full-season campaign in the Cup Series this year, prompting others to question how long h🎐e would drag his career.

However, the Joe Gibbs Racing lifetimer has no desirღe to retire just yet, citing his recent results as proof that he still has what it takes to perform at the highest level in America.

Hamlin won back-to-back races at 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Martinsville and Darlington in late March/early April and is currently the closest rival to runaway leader William Byron in the championshi🌳p standings.

“I think [Kevin] 🐻Harvick was 48 when he retired. He was still on top of his game as far as I was concerned,” Hamlin said ahe✃ad of last weekend’s Bristol race in which he finished second.

“It’s different for everyone. Others you’ve seen get to 43 or 44 and the light switch goes off. You just never know. My drive is still there and obviously, the performance is still there. I’m gonna try to just w🐼in all I can [in] this window while it is still there.

“Mark Martin did it when he was 50 and was fantastic. There’s no way I’ll ever ma🔜ke it that far but agꦑain, everyone’s body, mind and eyesight are all different and it goes away at different times.”

Speaking further on Dale Earnhardt Jr’s podcast,🍸 Hamlin added that it’s important to draw a retirement plan to help JGR find a successor for him, but is not willing to hang up his h🔯elmet just yet.

Whenever he decides to step away from active racing duties, Hamlin would like to divert his attention to 23XI Racing, a168澳洲幸运5官方🎐开奖结果历史: team he owns with NBA legend Michael ♒Jordan.

“Not right now,” he said when 𓆉asked about retirement. You always have to pl✅an for it, and you want to give the team proper time to come up with their next plan as well,” Hamlin said.

“Running some at 23XI is something that I’d like to do. Joe Gibbs Racing has been aꦜmazing to me over the 20 years that I’ve been with them. Just fantastic, couldn’t be any better. Joe and that whole group has just been amazing.

“But there are certain things that are different. I do have a race team. Even if I phased out and ran some there, that would be a cool goal of mi🐓ne. Just whatever it is. Five races, 25, whatever it might be.

“It’d be a cool way to phase out instead of just stopping.  I’d have a tough time just stopping. But I want to be competitive when I do it. I don’t want to do it when I’m past my prime of winning. Howe💦ver that timing works, that’s how I would like for it to work, but you don’t always get to decide.”
