Hamlin didn’t hold back from celebrating with great enthusiasm during his most recent win at Dover Motor Speedway. Now, as the 44-year-old continues to be a dominating force, he has christened himself with an impressive label regarding his competitiveness.

Denny Hamlin is widely loved in the NASCAR community despite his controversial takes and celebratory moments. Hamlin’s infamous ‘Sorry, daddy’ celebrations have caused some sore eyes towards him. However, the 44-year-old hasn’t looked back in terms of performance and has given it his all to make winning races a habit. Now the veteran has issued a smug statement about his results and capabilities.

Following a sublime victory in Dover, Denny Hamlin asserted that no one on the face of the Earth was more competitive than him. The 44-year-old defended well against his teammate Chase Briscoe and ultimately achieved the win.

Hamlin acknowledged that there could be people in the world as competitive as him, but he had yet to meet anyone of them. As such, the #11 driver pointed out that he gave the viewers and even the haters, ‘a little more’ every time he was questioned and tested.

I just don’t know if there’s, you know, anyone on the face of the earth that is more competitive than I am. I mean, I just, I’m sure there is. I just don’t know them. And so I just feel like when I’m tested, I’m going to give you a little more.

Denny Hamlin told NASCAR.

Denny Hamlin reiterated that if he were ever doubted or challenged, he would give the people a little more than what they expected from him. Hamlin revealed that he thrived on track during the ‘game-time’ moments and showed up with results when it mattered.

Because of such results, the 44-year-old could go home proud of himself and have a sense of satisfaction after defeating his rivals, as they couldn’t trump him even with fresher tires and better speed.

And when you doubt me, I’m going to give you a little more. Like, I just feel as though I thrive in game-time moments—like, you know, finishing off races like this. When I think about it, and then I go home, that’s going to be like a pound-your-chest moment. They had three shots at me, and they couldn’t do it. They had fresher tires—couldn’t do it. And so, it’s just very gratifying
