Joe Gibbs Racing close to sponsoring Denny Hamlin's car

Joe Gibbs Racing is close to securing a sponsorship deal with Progressive insurance for Denny Hamlin's car. This follows the departure of FedEx and Mavis Tires, which left Hamlin without a major sponsor for the 2025 season. Progressive is reportedly interested in expanding its presence in NASCAR, having already invested in advertising during races. Sources indicate that Joe Gibbs Racing is the leading candidate for this sponsorship. In recent news, Denny Hamlin had significant success at a Las Vegas casino, winning over $250,000 in jackpots. However, his performance on the track has been less favorable, with three finishes of 21st or worse in the first five races.
