Yall already know HMS isnt gonna let Denny finish a race for atleast a month

I don’t think they’ll go out of their way to do that, they’ll just do what they’ve been doing; winning. Something Hamlin hasn’t been as familiar with since 2021.

@AJGaming3031 Well Hamlin won 7 races, the same amount as HMS in 2020, so I didn’t count 2020

Chase is a champion, Denny is not, not much of a rivalry.

This is a rivalry of who’s the most spoiled rotten prick: Chase has so many Mickey Mouse wins and acts like a baby whenever someone wrongs him, even if it’s his teammates (Larson at Fontana), and Hamlin is infamous for his temper tantrums and being a hypocrite. A race to the bottom, in short. And their fanbases are already there

​@ZakRC_ you are correct, but take away the stats, and it becomes jealously.

I think nascar should park them both Denny got fined for putting Chastine in the wall then a few weeks later he stuck larson in the wall on the last lap and now he stuck Chase in the Wall twice, i think other drivers are tired of getting stuffed into the wall

Donald or Daffy May 31, 2023 at 6:57 pm

He put Chase in the wall because he was loose

Reply
jam jam's May 31, 2023 at 7:03 pm

@Donald or Daffy see i don’t believe that, thats the normal excuse, Last week at the all star race, people were all complaining that the cars were holding the track to good and they needed to take the spoilers off them and the defuser off them to make them slide around more, so i call BS on loose especially with the bigger tires

Brittany Morin May 31, 2023 at 9:26 pm

​@Donald or Daffy it happened twice. It was hamlin overdriving the corner and using chase as a bumper.

Donald or Daffy June 1, 2023 at 12:32 am

@Brittany Morin so it’s not hooking someone

@Donald or Daffy Denny overdrove the corner.

Chase just rattled Denny cage a little after being put into the wall. That’s racing

Chase definitely did dirty on this incident, risking safety issues like this should be punished no matter what, but for Denny to talk about drivers throwing tantrum is just plain ironic and totally unpersuasive. A lot of ppl think other drivers keep picking him for a fight because he’s an easy target, but more often than not he’s the one who asked for all those troubles himself actually.

A “golden boy” VS a hypocrite, neither of them were much better than each other TBH.

@Busch LOL JJ Yeley hit the brakes early and Larson got loose, then hit the wall twice.

This is Nascars Doing, Everyone calls Chase the Golden Child but it seems that Denny is,, as Nascar doesnt punish him and listens to his BS. Since this new Gen car came out Drivers on the inside are running up into the cars on outside and putting them into the fence, Denny and Chastain and even Larson have done it often , reason is they dont have to lift as much and can get back to the gas faster. But Nascar doesnt do anything about it, Denny made contact and ran Chase up the track for several laps before this incident, So i dont blame Chase for retaliating, he just retaliated at the wrong place and time, Shouldnt hook a driver ,, Side draft and run them up or down the track is preferred,

The media will make it a big rivalry even if it isn’t!

Yep, this video just helping to do that.

And the rabid fanbase who loves Chase will eat it up. They take every chance possible to whine and moan about Martinsville 2017.

Should work out great for Hamlin–he’s already a driver not very well liked and he just spearheaded the sports most popular driver to be suspended for a race. I’m sure fans will really love him now.

Reply
Timothy Latham June 1, 2023 at 4:35 pm

Good, keep hating him. Let it flow through you.

Reply
james douthat June 1, 2023 at 2:15 pm

in describing under what rules they used to suspend elliott . they were describing what hamlin by running him up the track twice into the wall should of been enough to suspend hamlin under the same rules. and he didnt right rear hook him. he hit him in middle of car

Think Denny Hamlin might be a huge part of the problem,why does he always have a problem

Reply
Timothy Latham June 1, 2023 at 4:36 pm

Because people keep running him over. Briscoe did it in 2021. Chastain did it in 2022. Now Chase almost killed him 4 days ago. It’s always him because he’s always getting ran over by people y’all constantly defend.
