Gold Line: Denny Hamlin '2025 ampm' Camry

When it became clear that Fedex would no longer be Denny Hamlin's main sponsor in Nascar for the 2025 season, it left a void for new partners to take up coveted marketing slots on the JGR No. 11 Camry. Among other new Nascar partners, ampm, a west coast convenience store chain committed to be the primary sponsor of Denny four two west coast races during the 2025 season. The purple and black ampm Toyota raced at both Sonoma in July, and Las Vegas in October. For a closer look at the ampm Camry, read on...

Notes:
Looking at stats and comparing them to probability forecasts and trends, it was not likely, but still probable that Deny Hamlin would reach 60 wins this year. A self proclaimed goal for the 44 year old Cup veteran would finally be accomplished at Las Vegas during the 33rd race of the 2025 season and on Hamlin's 718th start. In an emotional moment, Denny would become just the 7th driver to win multiple races after his 700th start, and was quick to dedicate the moments occasion to his father who had been battling health issues. 

While this is not the raced version of Denny's 60th win, the victory solidifies this paint scheme as an important one. Lionel did a great job with this little model. The Camry is my current favorite 1/64 scale casting of the three OEMs and this car and the paint job on it are both really good.
