“Not meant to be”: When Denny Hamlin shared his perspective on the Phoenix heartbreak

NASCAR veteran Denny Hamlin dominated the 2025 Cup Series season with his remarkable performance. However, he still fell short of securing his first-ever championship title.

During the final moments of the 319-lap race at Phoenix Raceway, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver went for a four-tire pit stop while everyone changed only two tires. This gave the #5 Chevy Camaro ZL1 driver, Kyle Larson, a lead over Hamlin.

Following that, the Hendrick Motorsports driver finished the event in P3, while Denny Hamlin was sixth. Following the Phoenix heartbreak, the #11 Toyota Camry XSE driver told the press:

“Yeah, nothing I can do different. Prepared as good as I could coming into the weekend. My team gave me a fantastic car. Just didn’t work out. I was just praying for no caution. Had one there. What can you do? Just not meant to be." “We took four tires. I thought that definitely was the right call. Just so many cars took two there. Obviously put us back. Team did a fantastic job. They prepared a championship car. Just didn’t happen. I’ll try (to win a title again). I got a couple more shots at it," he added.

Despite losing the title battle, Denny Hamlin displayed good sportsmanship. He congratulated Larson on his victory, and the HMS ace also praised the NASCAR veteran for the same.
