Denny Hamlin, FedEx End 19-Year Sponsorship

Denny Hamlin has confirmed that FedEx will conclude its longstanding sponsorship of his No. 11 Toyota Camry following the 2024 NASCAR season, marking the end of a 19-year partnership that began when he debuted in the Cup Series in 2005. Hamlin expressed gratitude for FedEx's support, highlighting their significant role in his career, during a heartfelt social media tribute. FedEx has reduced its involvement over the years, transitioning from sponsoring all races to just 14 in 2024, as part of a broader reevaluation of its sports sponsorship strategy. With Hamlin achieving 47 of his 54 career wins under FedEx's banner, the departure signals a significant shift in NASCAR sponsorship dynamics. Hamlin mentioned ongoing discussions for future sponsorships, indicating that the Joe Gibbs Racing team is actively seeking new partners. This change follows a trend of major brands departing NASCAR, with FedEx being the latest in a series of high-profile exits.
