It’s time to transfer your attention from the iron trophy to the smooth hat. Austin Sindrick won the Vulcan Trophy at Talladega Superspeedway after a dramatic race. But now, the Cup Series drivers are preparing for the delight of the “Wild, Wild West” taste. Rolling Hay Bundle, Cow Ranch, Boundary Horse – these scenes unfold as NASCAR visits Texas Motor Speedway this weekend. And Denny Hamlin took the Wild West theme a little seriously.
The NASCAR Cup Series is gearing up for the Würth 400 race, which Elliott won a year ago. The Hendrick Motorsports star ousted Denny Hamlin during the final lap and grabbed a Texas cowboy hat on Victory Lane. However, Elliott’s rival has already made some measurements for himself, who is bewildering fans.

Denny Hamlin unveils a stylish new look
Now, the appearance of the media is part of NASCAR and is a parcel. The Cup Series drivers faced the press with confidence smiling faced with media alongside revolving engines at high octane racetracks. However, Denny Hamlin chose to notch his public appearance before the Texas Motor Speedway event. That may be due to his broken heart at last year’s race in April 2024. In a two-lap shootout, we witnessed an epic battle between Hamlyn and Chase Elliott. In the end, Elliott blocked his rival. Hamlin hit Toyota No. 11 against the wall and finished 20th, but Elliott was hit in the winning lane. However, this time, Joe Gibbs Racing Driver is determined to return to his Cup Series rivalry. To that end, he released a Texas-themed trailer.
In an Instagram post, Denny Hamlin posted a snapshot from her photo shoot. The winner of the 56 Cup Series races has become an unlikely rodeo model. Hamlin, wearing a polka dot grey blue shirt and blue jeans, had a refined white cowboy hat on his head. He sat on a handsome, elegant dark brown horse, giving off the ultimate wild West vibe when Hamlin styled it. The Cup Series veteran dropped a two-word caption. This was enough to summarise his feelings.
Obviously, Denny Hamlin is ready to go all the way for NASCAR’s annual visit to Fort Worth, Texas. Last year’s races over 400 miles produced 16 careful track recordings. It rivaled the Mark, which was founded over 500 miles in 2022. Additionally, the 16 Yellow Flag is a NASCAR record for attention in a 400-mile race at a 1.5-mile speedway. Hamlin recognizes this accurately, and the betrayal of the truck is on a different end. Turns 1 and 2 are flat and slower, turns 3 and 4 are faster and have higher banks. Negotiating a set of both corners while maintaining the pace can be a challenging task.
Denny Hamlin carefully scrunched his chances against this situation, reflecting the situation in 2024. “That’s a big compromise. It was something I felt like I was going to destroy in a green-white checker situation last year, when we were on the lead. We were really good at one end and offensive at the other.
Fans are rooting for him as Denny Hamlin wants to balance both at the racetrack and at his horse. In fact, his Texas-themed look surprised the community.

Responses to drop their chins are full of comments
Well, witnessing a 44-year-old Virginia native in a cowboy outfit is not a scene you can see every day. Not particularly with Denny Hamlin, known for his serious spokesmanship. So, seeing Hamlin tilt his hat on a handsome horse, his Cup Series rival Noah Grugson slid a shocking gasp at the comment. It was the smallest abbreviation, but the emotion was clear: “tf.” Plus, better half of Hamlin, Jordan Fish, jumped into a fun conversation. She demanded that Hamlin save another elegant beast: “Save the Horse” Dirty Mo Media jumped on Denny Hamlin’s podcast “Action” again, part of it. The media brand’s official Instagram accounts have been a little shocking. “I didn’t have this in the 2025 DH subplot.”
Other fans cheered loudly as the JGR veteran made waves this weekend. After all, Denny Hamlin is one of two active drivers who own multiple wins on a 1.5-mile mid-track. He swept track races in 2010 and won again in March 2019. With a career start of 34, Hamlin recorded eight top five, top ten and 329 lap leads. That’s why one fan made a passionate comment. “Get that cowboy hat in Texas this weekend.” Someone else supported the true cowboy spirit in their wishes. When Hamlin evokes the Texas spirit towards the Cup Series race, fans want the same for him. “Ridem ‘Cowboy🤠🏁”
