Denny Hamlin reveals he doesn't have 'any room' for storing trophies, surprising place he keeps them

Denny Hamlin won’t stop winning, and it’s created a unique problem. The veteran Joe Gibbs Racing wheelman doesn’t have any room to store his various trophies at his home.

“I don’t have any room for them,” Hamlin stated during the latest episode of Actions Detrimental. “When I built this place, I probably had 30 wins. No, I didn’t (think that far ahead). I don’t know. They’re underneath the stairs. I wish I really had a place for them. I mean, there are plenty of places I could put them, but I don’t like the trophies up on the main level where we live, other than right at the entrance.

“The table’s getting full. A few years ago, I had them underneath that table in the entry walkway. I remember thinking, ‘That was a good year.’”

Hamlin’s five wins in 2025 have him wishing he had made a bigger trophy case when he moved into his latest home. Now, he’s faced with the question of how he’ll fit the next one, as under the staircase isn’t the most flattering spot for them.

At the moment, Hamlin’s résumé stacks up well against anyone’s in NASCAR history. He just captured his 59th career win this past weekend and shows no signs of slowing down, but the one thing missing from his trophy case if a championship.

Over the weekend, Hamlin insisted a championship isn’t necessary for him to feel complete, though, as he told the media: “It’s always been about number of races,” Hamlin stated, alluding to a championship not being the reason he’d stay behind the wheel. “The only one I thought about was this year and the Daytona 500, thinking that probably only going to do this twice more. Brickyards, right? I haven’t won the freaking Brickyard. I’m going to have two more shots at it, and that’s it, to round this thing out. 

“There’s certain races that I do have countdowns for. Championships isn’t one of ’em. Obviously, it’s well-documented that I want to get the wins, and I feel like that will carry its weight long after. When you compare me to someone that’s maybe got one or two, maybe three championships, and half the wins, I don’t think that person’s better than I am.”

If Hamlin does win the championship this season, we’re willing to bet that could be displayed prominently in his home, not under the staircase. Time will tell if it’s his year or not, but if the past few months are any indication, the veteran wheelman will be standing tall in November.
