Denny Hamlin and JGR secure major sponsorship deal with Progressive

For the majority of Denny Hamlin's career dating back to 2005, FedEx was his primary sponsor. He drove FedEx colors to Victory Lane in 47 of his 54 Cup wins, but in recent years, the brand quietly decreased its presence in NASCAR. Last year, they sponsored Hamlin in 13 of 36 races before finally exiting the sport.
