Denny Hamlin just revealed where he keeps his 56 NASCAR Cup Series race trophies after winning the Darlington race on Sunday. On the Actions Detrimental podcast, the 44-year-old said his trophies are all over his home and at the 23XI headquarters.

“I’ve had to spread them out quite a bit,” Denny Hamlin said. “I got probably 15 percent of trophies at my office now at 23XI. I’ve got probably 30-40 percent somewhere in that range kind of near the bowling alley. Then I got some over by the basketball court. It’s spread out, and I got some stuff that’s in the garage. The clocks, they’re spread out all over the place. Different people have them.

Hamlin talked about this after winning the Darlington race on Sunday and getting a large trophy. He was asked if he knew what the trophies were going to look like before the races began. “They usually have it at the driver’s meeting, kind of sitting front and center there,” Hamlin said. “It just kind of depends on the track. Like Martinsville, you don’t actually get a trophy. There was no trophy at Martinsville. You just get the clock.

How many more NASCAR trophies will Denny Hamlin win?

In his NASCAR Cup Series career, Hamlin has collected 56 trophies/clocks and is getting closer to being in the top-10 all-time wins list. During his post-race press conference on Sunday, Hamlin was asked if he wanted to reach 60 wins before the playoffs begin.

“I mean, truthfully, it’s really 61, you know? I don’t know,” Hamlin replied. “I want to get it as soon as possible ’cause you never know when you don’t race anymore. I think these wins early in the season certainly are beneficial to getting some pressure off for Playoff points. Certainly makes me feel good to keep piling on those wins.”

Hamlin was also asked about earning back-to-back races for the first time since 2012. “Yeah, it means a lot,” Hamlin said. …It’s great the team got me one here. Now, like I said to Chris Gayle, if we can win races where we have a seventh to 10th place car, I feel good about going out there and executing when we’ve got the best car.”
