How Denny Hamlin is involved
Hamlin's involvement with 23XI Racing is as a part-owner, not as its driver. The same page notes that he "serves as a 23XI part-owner as he continues to race for Joe Gibbs Racing." In other words, his ownership role at 23XI runs alongside — not instead of — his driving career with Joe Gibbs Racing.
