21) Denny Hamlin

Hamlin is a three-time winner of NASCAR’s Daytona 500 race and is just one of four drivers to win it in back to back years (2019 and 2020). Hamlin’s career has been excellent; the only title that has eluded him is a Cup Series championship. At the highest level, Hamlin has won 40 races, tying him for the 10th most wins of any driver since 1980.

20) Mark Martin

Despite never winning a Cup Series championship, Mark Martin certainly had a decorated career. He finished as runner-up a stressful five times, but still landed his name in the NASCAR record books. Having 40 career wins, he sits inside the top 20, number five in terms of starts (882) and also in the top 10 for poles and second-place finishes. Martin’s greatest feat is surely acquiring the quickest average speed for any NASCAR driver ever, 188.354 mph.
