The NASCAR world is abuzz with excitement as two of the sport’s biggest stars, Denny Hamlin and Chase Elliott, are aiming for a Penske threepeat in 2024. After successful offseason surgeries, both drivers are ready to take on the challenge of winning three consecutive championships for the legendary team.
Denny Hamlin, who won the 2020 NASCAR Cup Series championship, is looking to become the first driver to win three consecutive titles since Richard Petty in 1975. He has been a consistent force in the sport for years, and his success in 2020 was no exception. With a win in the Daytona 500 and seven other victories, Hamlin was able to take home the championship.
Chase Elliott, who finished second in the 2020 championship standings, is also looking to make history. Elliott has been a dominant force in the sport since his rookie season in 2016, and he has been a championship contender every year since then. He has yet to win a championship, but he has come close multiple times, finishing second in both 2018 and 2020.
Both drivers have had successful offseason surgeries that will help them prepare for the upcoming season. Hamlin underwent surgery on his right shoulder to repair a torn labrum, while Elliott had surgery on his left shoulder to repair a torn labrum and rotator cuff. Both drivers are expected to be ready for the start of the season and are confident that they can make history with a Penske threepeat.
The 2024 season is sure to be an exciting one as both drivers look to make history. With their successful offseason surgeries, Hamlin and Elliott are ready to take on the challenge of winning three consecutive championships for Penske. It will be interesting to see how they fare in their quest for a threepeat and if they can make history by becoming the first drivers to do so since Richard Petty in 1975.
