He said waiting hours and hours without a fish teaches him the virtue of enduring, which he finds of value in his maturation as an individual.Hamlin stated that although fishing may be a tedious practice, it is a great way to have enjoyment and a relaxing getaway where he can temporarily shut off the noise and stress of everyday life. He claimed that mere repetition of casting without immediate returns can be compared with his attitude towards tackling the problems patiently. He said on Kevin Harvick’s Harvick Happy Hour podcast:"There is so much chaos. Obviously, we know all the things that I'm going through and I feel like it is my moment that it's quiet. You know, even we both live in a house with multiple children and even your house at times is a chaotic spot where it's like, oh my gosh, I'm just trying to lock myself in a room and just have some quiet here for a second. And the water is the place for me to do that. And I found, you know, great enjoyment out of just slowing down. I mean, it's teaching me patience. "He further added:"You know, you can go out there for hours and hours and just keep casting and not even get a bite. But it teaches me patience. And that's something that I feel like I need to improve on as a person is being, you know, a more patient person. And I think that it's helping with some lessons. And if I can catch a fish on the way, that'd be great."Denny Hamlin recently dominated the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series race at the Gateway and won from the pole, leading 75 out of 240 laps.Denny Hamlin shares heartfelt message after giving Joe Gibbs a career milestoneThe Gateway race was a very important event in the career of Denny Hamlin as he achieved his fifth victory of the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season, a success that was more than a simple trophy.
