Maybe his crew guys could understand it though. Think about the time they’ve grinded just to be ran into by the 1. I think it would be interesting to hear from a crew member.

Ryan Flores is the only pit crew guy I know for a reason. He had some great points.

Agree, but he and his colleagues needs to up their game on sunday though. 12’s crew have sucked a lot for a long time now. Every stop you know they’re going to loose 2 to 4 positions.

This incident changes nothing for both of them, not until it’s them running first and second and they take one another out for a win

Danny said he was sliding back anyway there’s no chance he would’ve gotten a top 10 because all the cars behind him had fresher tires. He probably would’ve gotten around 15th if he didn’t hit Chastain

Denny said it was retaliation from the clash. A non points race where every one was spinning everyone.

What? He said it was for all the times he wrecked him

@I CAN’T DRIVE in the podcast he said it was payback from the clash

@jjjustin17favs he was using the clash as an example

He was wrecked twice by Chastain last year it’s easy to lose your emotions when around that guy. I’m not Denny fan but, I’m going to call it like I see it Denny just let his emotions get the better of him.

@jjjustin17favshe may have said that but it’s really because of last year too. Open your eyes the man was wrecked twice last year by him so he does owe him one. He just should have been more calculated.

I haven’t liked Hamlin since he cost me a kitchen chair a few years back at Martinsville!

Remember when he passed Matty D for the win at Bristol and he said he had to give 110% effort for Fedex?

Well did he give it 110% for Fedex when he decided to wreck ross and himself on purpose to lose all those positions?

To be fair he admitted that he was seeing red when it came to being around the 1. I don’t like Denny but, I’m not going to say what you just said. I mean the guy was wrecked twice last year by Chastain. Obviously he let his emotions get the better of him.

@Jordan Drye I think Hamlin got red mist term racing rage it happened me too

@Jordan Drye And that’s why he’ll never win a championship. He’s too emotion driven rather than situation and logic.

@Pankypops not necessarily I’ve seen every driver lose their cool.

Actions like that is also why he will never win a championship

I guess we’ll see if NASCAR is a spineless jellyfish or not. Byron got penalized after admitting his move, so why should this be any different?

Ross Chastain was the bigger man. He didn’t go Duke it out. Denny has a lot more to lose. If you are Chastain, and you want to be vengeful, you can go after the 11 car, the 23 car or the 45 car and still get at Denny. I don’t think Chastain will do that, but it is something to think about. Chastain wants to win races and get into the playoffs. I’m not sure what Denny is trying to do.

There is NO WAY he finishes top 10!!

Ross has a long list waiting and they won’t talk about it. Kudos for Denny having the guts to state it.

Being gleefully shameless, even if honest, is not an achievement.

Ross talked to him with his hands behind his back after. Den Den has tried to push him around and Ross doesn’t back down. Just a better person and driver. Maybe Hamlin will respect him one day. But he’s not a good person so who knows. Ross is just better all around and that’s probably why Den Den can’t accept it. He needs to take a good look in the mirror and get better. I really think he wishes he had him on his team because of how good Ross is, but knows he would never sign with him because he’s crap. Still feel bad for Reddick taking that money. He’s one of the best too but driving for Hammy could ruin his career.

Denny proving to be the most skilled hack in the field. Enjoy the penalties and fine hack.

Denny knew along he was going to get fined. Better to get it out of the way early in the season.
He isn’t worried about it
