When the opportunity arose for us to be a part of the Joe Gibbs Racing family and support renowned NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin, we were all in, said Sean Freeman, Progressives Business Leader of Direct Media. We love JGRs pursuit of excellence and Hamlins proven success on the track. Together, our marketing and their driving styles align well and cant wait to see the No. 11 in action.
Hamlin is competing in his 20th full-time season in the Cup Series. He is tied for 12th on the all-time wins list with 54 victories, including three wins last year. His Cup Series career has included monumental wins like his trio of Daytona 500 victories (2016, 2019, 2020), three Southern 500 wins (2010, 2017, 2021), and a Coca-Cola 600 triumph in 2022. Early in the new season, Hamlin currently sits 12th in the Cup Series standings with a best finish of second at Phoenix Raceway.
This is a huge deal for our No. 11 team and everyone at Joe Gibbs Racing, said Hamlin. Were really looking forward to having Progressive on board and being able to deliver for them on and off the race track.
For me, its exciting to team up with a brand like Progressive that is so innovative with their marketing and the different ways you seem them activate. I cant wait to get going with them starting this weekend.
