Denny Hamlin drives the No. 11 Toyota Camry for Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) in the NASCAR Cup Series. This is his full-time ride, and the car's primary sponsor is Sport Clips. His on-track vehicle is a purpose-built Gen-7 NASCAR Cup Series car, which, while bearing the name and silhouette of a Toyota Camry, is a dedicated race chassis engineered for competition on tracks ranging from short ovals to superspeedways. The "stock car" label is largely historical; these are not modified street-legal vehicles.
Beyond his professional racing duties, Hamlin is also a team owner. He co-owns 23XI Racing (pronounced "twenty-three eleven") with NBA legend Michael Jordan. This team fields cars for drivers like Tyler Reddick and Bubba Wallace, but Hamlin remains a driver for JGR.
