Denny Hamlin: Cup playoffs "a game of chance" in 2024 schedule
NASCAR has released the 2024 Cup schedule, featuring one new venue and significant race date changes. The playoffs have been altered with the removal of Darlington and Texas, and the addition of Atlanta and Watkins Glen. This means the champion will have to navigate two superspeedway/drafting tracks and two road courses. Denny Hamlin, who has yet to win a championship, is not happy with these changes, believing it tests luck rather than skill. He feels the sample size for determining the champion is too small and disagrees with the one-race take-all format. Despite a two-week break for the Olympics, Hamlin believes there could have been a better way to structure the playoffs.
