The 61 wins span nearly two decades in the Cup Series and include victories at many of the sport’s most historic tracks.
Since making his full-time Cup Series debut in 2006, Hamlin has remained one of the league’s most consistent front-runners, collecting wins across multiple eras of race cars and competition. Reaching 60 career victories is a milestone achieved by only an elite group of drivers, and Hamlin’s latest win places him firmly among that elite company.
Hamlin Continues to Climb NASCAR’s Wins List
Hamlin has long been one of NASCAR’s most consistent front-runners, collecting victories across multiple eras of the sport.
Since debuting in the Cup Series in 2005, he has remained a regular contender and continues to add to his total even as the competition level in NASCAR has intensified.
Passing Harvick on the all-time list highlights the longevity of Hamlin’s career as well as his ability to remain competitive year after year.
It also places him just two wins behind Kyle Busch, who currently sits ninth on the all-time leaderboard with 63 victories.
The gap also highlights how tightly packed this section of NASCAR’s all-time wins list has become. Just two victories separate Hamlin from Kyle Busch in ninth place, while several active drivers continue to climb the standings as their careers progress.
For Hamlin, the Las Vegas win was another reminder that his career — already one of the most accomplished in the Cup Series — is still adding new milestones.
And with the season continuing, the number next to his name on NASCAR’s all-time wins list may not stay at 61 for long.
