Denny Hamlin posted a calm demeanour after spending four hours getting questioned by the defence. The 23XI Racing co-owner's testimony continued into the second day of trial.One of the main points of contention was Hamlin's salary at Joe Gibbs Racing. The No. 11 driver apparently earns $14 million per year, and when asked if he deserves the amount, Hamlin shared that he makes up for it by winning races.He was later questioned about his team's financials. The 45-year-old has put down around 50 per cent of the Airspeed facility and covers 40 per cent of the team's costs. He also pays a loan of $45 million for the same.When the defence attorney inquired about internal emails referencing his irresponsible spending habits, Hamlin admitted that it was his co-owner's job to keep him in check. Meanwhile, Hamlin took a shot at NASCAR and noted that 11 of the original chartered teams are no longer in the sport, alluding to a failing business model for teams in the sport.Another point was that the France family asks teams to spend around $10 million per year, when in actuality, it takes around $20 million to keep the team running. The 2025 charter agreement, on the other hand, only pays $12.5 million per year.After three hours of Tuesday's cross-examination, Denny Hamlin was spotted outside the court and asked about his experience thus far.
