Denny Hamlin has officially claimed the title of the most successful driver in Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) history following his latest victory in the NASCAR Cup Series at Michigan International Speedway. With this win, Hamlin notched his 57th career Cup Series triumph, surpassing former teammate Kyle Busch, who previously shared the top spot with 56 wins under the JGR banner.
