    Met Denny at this years Coca Cola 600 and he signed my little brothers hat (along with every other fan asking for an autograph) even got a video of the whole interaction! Forever will appreciate Denny for taking the time for everyone in that 95 degree weather one of my favorite memory’s from any sporting event I’ve ever been to

    There is a solution to the charter nonsense. All the team need to get together and boycott the championships races. Let them try to run the "show" without any of the cup contenders or the other guys there. Nascar needs to be made to understand that they have no "show" without the big-name drivers. I'm not going to watch 2nd tier drivers and pay what they want for tickets. At some point they will get a clue or go out of business.

Zip up and turn around, Denny is standing in the door way watching me. What do I say? ......Hey what's up? I did the full house security system. Later Denny had me enter the master security code. I have enterterd over 8 thousand security codes.

    After watching this, i have gone through and looked at a lot of the comments and it seems to be mixed, a lot of people "Hate" Denny. I must ask the question: Why? I really don't have a favorite driver per se`. I just like to see good racing. Like Denny said, anyone can just go out there and take people out to win races, but the thing is doing that is not racing. Now i have drivers i don't care much for, and those are the guys that have a reputation of initiating those events. Without naming any names, we all pretty much know who those drivers are. I have no respect for that stuff. What i do have respect for is guys that can drive and win without resorting to that kind of mentality.
    But you Denny "Haters", or any other driver "Hater' out there, just why? I don't get it. Hate is a very strong word, and a lot of you haters out there act as if he did something personally to you, which he has of course never done. I just don't understand it.
    We all have things we love or "Hate" about NASCAR including myself, but i have never had "Hate" for any driver.
    What i do have respect for is is not only his skill, but also the cajones to put it all out there as most drivers won't, or are being told not to tell it how it really is out of fear of retaliation by NASCAR in some way.
    Good interview Kenny, they always are!! And Denny, mad respect, and thank you for being open and honest as best you can be in your position, you do that better than most bub!! 👍

  • @ryanc6568
    @ryanc6568 Před 23 dny +4

    I had to pause this great conversation to say this. I find it baffling Denny brings up "the problem" people have with him is moving Larson 3-4' up the track, like it was just one time. I don't think anyone cares. I think it's the time he's taken Larson out multiple times and always has a BS excuse to justify it. And when the 5 has the opportunity to do it back, he tries to pass him clean, sometimes settling for 2nd. And then, when Larson does push back and move Denny up the track, like a couple weeks ago, what was Dennys response? He starts banging on the 5 under yellow. He's the epitome of dishing it out and not being able to take it. He's being very hypocritical. Very bullyish attitude. He's explaining this how he races. I'm gonna do it my way and if you don't like it, so what, but by God, if it's done to me, you're wrong! Great interview and my opinion of DH has changed for the good but this part is the part that rubs me the wrong way. Just my opinion, or unless Denny is the only one who is allowed to have one. Back to the conversation.

Why did NASCAR lose so many fans because teams indorsed crap individuals like this that have this self entitled ego.

    Psychoamlin will never win a championship! He does not have the mental toughness or "championship mindset" to get it done! He will take himself out as always! It says alot when you get boo'd at what you say is your homie track. Chumpion forever!!

      The Championship format is bullshit. More entertaining and intresting but, at the same time bullshit!
