Denny Hamlin praises Kevin Harvick’s return to NASCAR as a brilliant public relations move.
Denny Hamlin and Kevin Harvick, both well-known figures in the world of motor sports, are making headlines with their recent announcement. Harvick, a NASCAR Hall of Famer, will take the wheel of Hamlin’s Chevrolet Camaro during practice sessions for the upcoming NASCAR All-Star Race in North Wilkesboro. This decision has generated immense excitement among fans, as it brings back a legendary driver to the track.
The reason behind this move is that Hamlin’s teammate, Kyle Larson, needs some practice time driving IndyCars before his debut in the series on May 26. The collaboration between Larson and Harvick has stirred up a lot of buzz in the racing community. In response to this news, another prominent driver from Joe Gibbs Racing, whose name is not mentioned in the text, shared his thoughts on his podcast “The Action Detrimental.”
According to the driver of the number 11 Toyota Camry XSE, having a NASCAR legend back behind the wheel presents a valuable opportunity for Hendrick Motorsport in terms of public relations. Hamlin believes that this decision is the right one, as Larson needs time to get familiar with IndyCar racing.
Kevin Harvick retired from NASCAR in 2023, leaving behind a remarkable legacy. With over 50 wins in the Cup series and a place among the top ten drivers with the most wins in the sport’s history, Harvick has solidified himself as one of the greats. His swift return to the sport, replacing Kyle Larson in the All-Star Race, has left many surprised.
When asked about his decision to return to NASCAR so soon after retirement, the 48-year-old former Stewart-Haas Racing driver explained that when someone like him is called, they simply cannot refuse. Fans of this exceptional driver can expect to see him race in May, as it appears to be his final farewell in NASCAR.
