KANSAS CITY, Kan. – There was no talk of championships when Denny Hamlin's team met during NASCAR's offseason to discuss goals for the upcoming year, even though that is just about the only thing he has yet to win at the sport's highest level.In fact, team owner Joe Gibbs and crew chief Chris Gabehart didn't even mention the season-ending race at Homestead.“His goal has been very simple,” Hamlin said. “He gave me a list of probably six guys in history that won X number of races.
He said, ‘You want to be a legend? Get on that list. You win that number of races, you've done something special.'"Hamlin won't divulge that number, but it must be more than five.
