ah yes, the two best friends in NASCAR
Unless something happened earlier in the race, Hamlin knocked the crap out of him on the last lap and kept on doing it. Chastain should have got out and knocked his block off..
Ross did nothing to him during the race. Hamlin is just doing Hamlin things. His top 10 just went away too.
Facts
denny would mop the floor with trashstain if they fought
This is literally becoming a Days of thunder type rivalry
The rivalry in Days of Thunder was based on the battle between Dale Earnhardt and Geoff Bodine. It should be fun.
@Christopher Ridle I know but every other week it’s like the 1 car and 11 car are always getting into it with each other
Seems like these two always find each other
Denny Hamlin would be the kind of guy to try and retaliate whilst costing himself 20 positions in the process lmao
@Blaise Michaelbut he still didn’t retaliate against Hamlin lmao
@Benson Weaver if u remember, chastian wrecked Hamlin at the clash this year
@Checkered Flag Racing he obviously got tight
@L Lr everyone wrecked everyone. That was the nature of the race. Can’t really hold grudges from that
@Blaise Michael Denny is a hall-of-famer three-time Daytona 500 Champion what the hell is Ross done to so-called wipe his feet on Denny Hamlin
These two just need a good fist fight to get it over with.
Denny doesn’t want dat smoke!
Denny would win
Neither one of them are fighters, so I bet it would be a good matchup.
So this man was all about how Ross was way too aggressive last year, and yet here he is knocking him into the wall AND then continues to hit him afterwards…
…But then again I’m not entirely surprised.
@MurgWorst take I’ve seen on this incident all day. It’s the last lap, it’s a racetrack. Hamlin ran him into the wall and it’s that simple.
@Chris Branchdid you watch the restart before that one?
@Murg hi Denny, nice fake profile
@Murg Hamlin burner account?
@24Bryce cause Hamlin got tight
Are we shocked at all that this happened?
No wonder Denny *doesn’t* have a championship.
Neither does Chastain
@TORPEDOZ I an how long as Denny been in the sport a lot longer than Ross do the math
@TORPEDOZ I his rookie season was with third grade junk were Denny had grade a stuff look what Ross did with better ride if Denny was so good he should have at least two titles but don’t but hey keep praying for Denny cause he needs all the help he can get
I genuinely wanted to give the benefit of the doubt as I thought it was unintentional from Hamlin at first, but now seeing a more complete replay (thank you for missing something again FOX), this is ridiculous. You run out of talent into a corner, and decide it was the car trapped to the outside who is to blame? Ridiculous.
Lol kinda like when Ross ran out of talent at gateway? Or Atlanta???? Hmmm pretty quiet about that one
@1999gtpyak Or the Clash..
@J He didn’t say anything about unintentional anger, and if you weren’t so triggered by their comment you’d be able to read it properly. Hamlin slid up the track unintentionally, then Ross brake checked him going down the backstretch.
Hamlin’s ego is bigger than his brain
Well, his brain is not so big tbh…
False
So is his champion ship trophy
And he’ll STILL find a way to blame it on Ross.
@Blake Harper Being on the receiving end of being dumped into a corner isn’t running out of talent mate…
@GOWEN maybe you need that again.
@Blake Harper agreed 100%. Ive been a race fan for over 35 years Denny wants to be a bully, Ross is just driving his car as hard as he can
Hamlin is such a coward if he thinks Chastain was at fault right there.
@Zackery Koroskenyiare you blind? Chastain was never in front of Hamlin, chastain got to his outside before the corner even started and Hamlin flat out ran out of talent
@Zackery Koroskenyi nice bait
Yup and then he’ll get on his crappy podcast and play victim. Dale should be ashamed for giving Hypocrite Hamlin a platform.
Uh oh. Some triggered fans here. I havent forgot that chastain is the one with the habbit of sending people into the wall for 6th place, but he has done it on lap 6 and lap 60 instead of the last one.
@Chase Jordan facts these clowns chose to forget the stretch of like 12 races last year where Ross was wrecking someone every week for position
@ :34 seconds, Denny is lucky Ross didnt pay him back by hooking Denny in the right rear to send him in the outside wall. I can name about a dozen drivers that would’ve done just that. Ross definitely was the bigger person here, but I assume payback is coming where it hurts Denny the most.
@1999gtpyak Ross hit him by accident at Gateway by driving too hard into the corner. Then at Atlanta (a drafting track where everyone was wrecking) Ross slid into him again. It was two unintentional mistakes by Ross, and Ross even took Denny out to lunch to apologize. Then Denny wrecked him in front of the whole field at Pocono which caused a huge impact to Harvick which could have caused a concussion with these Next Gen cars. Hamlin proceeded to do the same thing here at Phoenix trying to destroy Ross’s race. If you can’t see that Hamlin is an entitled cry baby who’s holding a grudge then I don’t know what to say to you. There’s a reason Hamlin has had run-ins with half the garage. He’s the common denominator and has no class.
@Coyotes79 and not to mention denny literally did nothing malicious, he did exactly what Ross keeps doing to him literally nothing different…. Denny wasn’t going to be able to hold his line where he was on the track and decided not to lift. No different than Ross
@1999gtpyak Even if that were true, then Denny has no reason to be mad when he makes similar mistakes. It’s clear as day whenever Denny sees Ross he tries to hit him. It’s not an accident. He’s just a cry baby holding a grudge.
Damn Denny just cannot think straight when he’s around Ross can he? What a stupid move.
I was wondering why my boy Ross lost so many spots at the end. He was running inside or around the top 10 for most of the day.
@Speed 4 Brainz the whole final stage he was outside top ten until the caution came
@1999gtpyak yea like by a position or two dude not ten or twenty
@Just Some Dude With Wings what does that matter? Ross wasn’t going to finish inside of the top ten even without the contact
You know your slow when you have to hit someone 3 times to get around them.
I think it’s time for Denny to let this go man it’s a new year. He drove up high and put Ross into fence then gets angry lol
So from what I can tell, Hamlin got tight and went up the track. I don’t think Hamlin intended to squeeze Chastain into the wall. In response, Chastain proceeded to brake-check Hamlin.
