Denny Hamlin's advice to Kyle Busch after turning 40

Kyle Busch recently turned 40 years old on May 2nd, 2025. and celebrated his birthday by taking a short trip with his wife during the NASCAR break. Busch's fellow driver, Denny Hamlin, was asked if he had any advice to give to Busch after his birthday.

"To me, it's just taking care of your body more. I mean, everyone is different and everyone has taken different hits throughout their career, but for me, my body changed at 42. I had to do tons more maintenance, but he is doing everything; he’s still as good a driver as I think he’s been in the last 10 years. It's just sometimes you get to a car that doesn’t necessarily like your style, and you have to adapt," Hamlin told the media.

Busch also hinted at taking inspiration from Hamlin and replicating the performance that the driver could deliver, even after being the oldest full-time driver on the grid at the moment.

"Denny has done a great job. He’s 43-44, he’s still winning races, winning them at more than one clip a year, so that’s admirable and something that I wanna do. It’s just 40, it’s just a number," Busch said in an interview with Frontstretch.

Busch was not wrong in his remarks about Hamlin. After turning 40, Hamlin has nine victories in the Cup series and has dominated short tracks compared to all the other drivers on the grid. The driver is only five race wins off the top ten on NASCAR's all-time Cup series win list and is ranked third in the driver standings this season with 338 points.
