NASCAR: Denny Hamlin is getting a new Cup car
By Asher Fair
Joe Gibbs Racing are slated to reveal a new #11 Toyota Camry for Denny Hamlin in the NASCAR Cup Series on Monday, February 8.
Denny Hamlin has driven his entire NASCAR Cup Series career, which dates back to when he competed part-time in the 2005 season before becoming a full-time driver in 2006, with Joe Gibbs Racing.
And he has done so with FedEx as his primary sponsor. On multiple occasions, especially last year amid some pretty bizarre rumors, he has stated that he wants to retire with Joe Gibbs Racing and FedEx, and he recently signed a multi-year contract extension to continue both relationships.
Ahead of the 2021 season, Joe Gibbs Racing are slated to reveal a new #11 Toyota Camry for the 40-year-old Chesterfield, Virginia native.
And it’s not simply a new FedEx paint scheme, like we saw introduced before his six-win 2019 season.

The multi-year deal that Hamlin and FedEx signed with Joe Gibbs Racing earlier this week was a deal that involved FedEx serving as the primary sponsor of the #11 Toyota for the vast majority of the time, but not all of the time.
This deal left a limited number of openings for other primary sponsors to jump on board, and one of them is slated to be revealed on Monday, February 8, one day before the Busch Clash exhibition race kicks off the 2021 season at the Daytona International Speedway road course.
The team have been giving clues on Twitter regarding the new partner slated to come on board the #11 Toyota, and fans can sign up at the link they shared in the tweet below to be among the first to know when the new car is officially revealed.
