Denny Hamlin: NASCAR tried to lie to us

- čas přidán 25. 05. 2022
- Fresh off his second-place run at the NASCAR All-Star Race, Denny Hamlin joined The Dale Jr. Download and shares his disappointment in the controversial yellow flag and Ryan Blaney's window net issue. Plus, did his post race comments and use of the "F" word get him in hot water? Denny also explains what he thinks about the All Star Race as a whole and how the event, and other aspects of the sport, have become diluted.
Not a huge Denny fan but that was probably one of the best episodes. Dale Jr download is one of my favorite podcasts and listen every week, it’s weeks like this that keeps everyone listening. Great job!!!
He’s definitely better in long form. I’m upgrading my opinion of him. He still can’t hide his agony of defeat and disappointment which is always entertaining. Just like watching Dinger lose is fun.
Me too. If NASCAR was going to break a rule for safety then do it right. Some how Ryan got the net to stay up and use 2 hands to drive but it was not safe in an accident. In my sons dirt car it’s my job to latch the net. He might be able to do it with is belts off or loosened.
I know that it's not a popular opinion, but I would rather listen to an after-race interview with Hamlin or Keslowski (sp), after they didn't win...or get knocked out of the race due to an accident)...than listen to everyone's favorite driver, Kyle Busch......I respect Busch's ability to drive a racecar. I will not deny that he is one of the best. But once he's outside of the car....🤪🤪
Denny is becoming that guy that nobody likes on the track, but you appreciate what he does for the sport and teams by being so outspoken. With all the veterans that have retired over the last five years, he's clearly becoming the leader veteran presence. It kind of shocks me a bit, because Kevin Harvick of all people has become so quiet. I figured he would be the one to assume that role. Kyle Busch just seems so immature. So I don't see him taking that role over. It kind of scares me in a way, because when Hamlin hangs it up, who will be that next guy?
I don't always agree with Denny or his tactics, but I am 100% with him on this one.
I'm so thankful we have some active drivers out there like Denny Hamlin, like Kyle Busch, like Kevin Harvick who are outspoken and challenge NASCAR about this stuff.
U ready for pulling season
Lmao bro those 3 are the Biggest crybabies In the Sport !!!!!!!
@@stevealber9779 definitely! Planning to kick things off in June.
@@ChucksPullingVideos good I enjoy your videos. Maybe I'll see u at one keep up the great work
@@stevealber9779 thank you! Much appreciated.
I worked with Denny for years he always stood up for what he believes and this time I'm so proud of him for standing up to nascar over a safety issue.
If it was only about safety then why wasnt he ok with the 12 coming down pit road and getting his window net fixed then getting his spot back? If it was all just consern for ryans health than that would have solved the problem. But denny was not ok with that happening he wanted the black flag and nothing less would do. He was using safety as a tool to "hack" his way in to a win.
@@robertstone9988
Because Ryan should have been black flagged. Simple. Rules.
I don't like Denny but a rule is a rule
@@robertstone9988 because they wouldn't have let anyone else keep their position and still come to pit road on a GWC. RB should have been black flagged end of story. RB won the race and did it twice on the same night. Even Hamlin said that RB deserved to win that race and Hamlin also said that he's lost races because of bonehead moves like that. The issue is the inconsistency of NASCARs enforcement of the rules and use of unnecessary cautions to fabricate excitement and drama. It's bullshit and NASCAR deserves to be dragged through the mud over this. Either enforce the rules equally or not at all.
@@stevealber9779
Rules should NOT apply when the rule maker caused the circumstance in the first place by throwing a bogus caution flag 2 seconds before the finish line checkered flag.
That pure, 100% bull$hit
Nascar's cautions have always been inconsistent to say the least. A few weeks ago during the truck race a truck spun to the bottom of the track and Nascar ran 2 full green laps with the truck sitting against the wall. WTF.
NASCAR can't get out of their own way. What a clown show they've become...
NASCAR is closer to WWE than it is to racing at this point
@@steve-o1012 No. That would have been the 70s and 80s.
Also, there isn't a racing organization, track, or club in the country that hasn't been guilty of trying to add suspense to the end of the race. NASCAR certainly isn't above criticism. But let's be real here.
@@wuztron Steve is talking about the fact it is fake like WWE.. not about racing but just entertainment.
@@vinceedwards575 I know exactly what he's talking about. And if you've listened to any stories about Humpy Wheeler, France Sr., etc you'd know that's a ridiculous statement.
@@wuztron But they aren't here now.
I can not stand Denny Hamlin ... That being said, I feel he is 100% spot on with what he said.
Rules should NOT apply when the rule maker caused the circumstance in the first place by throwing a bogus caution flag 2 seconds before the finish line checkered flag.
They screwed up and unfairly caused Blaney's issues...Even Hamlin said he deserved the win.
So if it is REALLY about "safety"....Since Nascar screwed up with a bogus caution flag that also would not have restarted any other race on the schedule but this one,...They should have simply allowed the man to come in and get the window net up and re-start from the front...
This still gives Hamlin an undeserved second chance at Ryan Blaney.
This video conversation is pure, 100% bull$hit.
@@stricknine8623 The rule maker didn't cause it. Nascar never went over and pulled his net down. Nascar never told him to pull it down. No Blaney who should have clearly knew the race wasn't over yet, decided to pull it down. Just because they called a questionable yellow doesn't mean Blaney or any other driver can go out and break any rule they want. If a a questionable yellow (or any yellow) came out at any other point in the race and a driver dropped their netting they would be required to come in and fix it and lose their spot. This situation is absolutely no different. Blaney not being aware of something he clearly should have been and making a mistake is not justification.
@@Kartkid024
They threw a bogus caution flag 2 seconds before Blaney crossed the line for checkered.
He also didn't "break" any rule. Nascar allowed him to restart the race and finish the added laps of a GWC. It would have been "breaking an rule" had they told him he had to come in (black flagged). He resumed the GWC to finish because Nascar said it was OK.
Nascar obviously deemed that the right thing to do was allow him to finish the race because of the bogus caution paired with the fact that Blaney took the checkered flag basically at the same time they threw the bogus caution.
"A questionable caution at any other point in the race and driver drops their netting" What ??
Drivers don't put their window net down unless it's the last lap and they cross the finish-line and they believe the race to be over OR they are involved in a crash causing a caution.
@@stricknine8623 If during the race a caution came out and a driver decided to drop their netting, would they be allowed to come in and fix it and get their position back?
FYI, Nascar came out and said they didn't realize it wasn't up correctly. Had they known they would have penalized him. However, this is clearly a lie so yes I agree they probably did allow him to get away with it because of the situation. However, that's kind of the point. They were wrong for letting him break the rules. As Denny said two wrongs don't make a right.
Agreed. They should have either never threw the caution or let Blaney come in and fix his window net without losing his position.
I agree but I do think no matter what NASCAR would have done they'd still have plenty of people bitching about it and saying it was handled poorly.
@@bigd7481 Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. NASCAR fans are an interesting group and you can’t please them all lol.
If it was only about safety then no one should have a problem with him fixing it and getting his spot back. But denny wasnt happy with that he wanted a black flag and nothing less would do. He was using safety as a exuse to steal a win
That and also NASCAR shouldn’t change the last lap caution rule for just ONE fucking race.
It’s like that with anything and everything not just NASCAR. But they shouldn’t change the checker flag caution rule for just one race.
Denny is way more important for this sport than people realize
I dislike him, but you are right.
Yep. I'm not a fan of Hamlin, but I like his lack of a filter. Most of the drivers are too concerned with an image to say what they really think. It's refreshing to hear Denny call it as he sees it
Denny and Bubba can kick sand both suck.
I guess, I need someone besides Kyle to watch the races for, Only watch hoping to see one or both of those 2 crash out of the race. Haven't really had a driver I rooted for to win since Davey Allison.
I don't trust Denny because he like to wreck somebody else
Bowman's window net was down when Denny hit him on track last year during burnouts. what was safe about that??!?!!!???
Denny 100% right, if you’re making up the rules let’s fix the safety issues first.
NASCAR has really fucked up, and it's sad.
Following last year's incident with Bowman, my friends and I solely refer to Denny as, "Hack". With that being said, he's one hell of a driver, is doing great things to take our sport to the next level, and rarely misses when it comes to takes like this. All in all, Denny is a great asset for NASCAR, a joy to watch race on Sundays, but still a f****in' hack in my book! 😂
someone was talking to him on XM NASCAR radio I believe about getting some phrase for him. Hamlin said he would need to talk with Alex on how to make that happen. I died laughing. The thing I hate is all these drivers work their A$$ off and after driving 500 miles at these tracks, they stick a microphone in their face as soon as they get out of the car. Of course drivers are going to say things they will regret later. They want to win and when they get screwed after working so hard, you can bet they will be pissed off. I really like Tyler Redick, but it pissed me off he was so okay with Mr. I'm going to try and wreck you for any win I can get Chase Briscoe at Bristol. Man, get fired up. You and your team worked your A$$ off and they guy just drove it in out of control and wiped you out. It's what makes the sport great.
Careful, Nascar will call in 18 FBI agents
Need a whole lot more of drivers speaking out like Denny does.
I agree with Denny but this time no. Nascar should have never called a caution anyway.
What NASCAR really should have done was just step in and overrule the race director and say "nope...he won". It was really a done deal. He was 3 freaking seconds ahead of Hamlin. He won. Some idiot hitting the caution button shouldn't take that away.
The only reason the yellow flew was to have Gwc finish.
@@mitchmitchell5524 Exactly. Totally arbitrary.
I don't particularly like Hamlin, but I'm with him 100% on this. NASCAR straight up lied saying they thought the window net was up and tried to right a wrong with another wrong.
Yes just own the first wrong and correct it.
@@vw8886
You don't correct it by punishing the guy that you screwed over the first time though...
Rules should NOT apply when the rule maker caused the circumstance in the first place by throwing a bogus caution flag 2 seconds before the finish line checkered flag.

@@stricknine8623 Yup, that's what I said with a lot fewer words.
@@vw8886
There is nothing wrong with elaborating on exactly what the details of "correct it" means.
@@stricknine8623 Yup.
The timing of this podcast was so damn perfect I can’t wait to listen to it
Spot off on his comments about idolizing NASCAR drivers because of the money they make or the lavish lifestyle they live, à la NBA. Give me Newman on a tractor or Truex casting into a pond. That's what I connect with.
Never ever thought i,d ever agree with Denny 🤦🏾♂️ on something in my life, but he's right!!
I agree with Denny 100%. There seems to me there is a lot of favoritism in the sport today. It was 100% clear his window net was not attached. That was clearly a safety violation. Someone should check into doing something about that. Who made that decision to continue the race ? What did Blaney have to say about it ? Who in the heck is going to hold Nascar responsible for doing what they did. It makes you wonder if it would have been a lower tier team in the same situation. I'm a Kurt Busch fan but I like Denny more now that he's speaking up. Has anyone questioned someone in.Nascar about the decision to continue the race with a clear violation like that ?
If it was all about safety then why wasnt denny cool with the 12 coming down pit road getting it fixed and then getting his spot back? Safety problem solved, but denny wasnt happy with any thing less then a black flag calls it wasnt about safety it was about winning with a loop hole using safety as a tool to win on a technacality
Yes, Blaney should have been allowed to fix the window net and rejoin for safety.
There has always been favoritism in all sports. Nascar doesn't listen to the people.
@@vw8886 ...and you think nobody's gonna go gonzo on that? You have another thing coming. I've got some property in the Pacific I'd like to show ya.
I'm sorry but there was no good outcome to this. First off I don't agree that there was "favoritism" shown to Ryan or that he broke the rules. Second I don't care what Denny says about how it should have been handled. Denny upset with the window net not being secured however he would have been just as upset had NASCAR allowed the 12 team to fix it and keep the lead.
The end result is this is a NASCAR throwing a bogus caution to bunch up the field in attempt to manufacture exciting finish.
Two wrongs don't make a right.
But three do.
Out of respect for their FIRST mistake of throwing the caution, NASCAR should have cancelled the G_W_C restart and waved the checker, ending the race.
I’m not a big fan of Denny the driver. But Denny the person seems to be a stand up guy. The last two podcast (Hamlin and Yates) like 100% of the DMM’s content were great. I walked around for close to 4 hours yesterday at work listening to both podcast. Thanks DMM!
People can say what they want about Denny. However making the chase every year except one during his entire career speaks volume to me. He has been a great driver and still getting it done.
Drivers like him keep Nascar in check. Sure going to miss him when he retires. Thank you Denny. You have been a heck of a driver in my book. Fan till the end!
HAND'S DOWN DENNY HAMLIN SPOKE 💯 MILLION PERCENT PURE TRUTH 👍🤗❤️😁 AND I AGREE WITH HIM TOTALLY!!! NASCAR NEEDS TO WAKE UP AND GO BACK TO WHEN NASCAR STARTED (APPARENTLY THEY HAVE FORGOTTEN THEIR HUMBLE BEGINNINGS) AND REGROUP TOTALLY... I want to thank you Dale for every podcast and everything you do to help NASCAR since retiring from racing ( while you are missed, I much prefer you safe and active in racing in the booth or with your podcast or bringing back North Wilksboro and I am one of few who loved the dirt race at Bristol.. It was awesome.. But I grew up at our local dirt track The Old Columbia Speedway in Cayce SC that I watched your Granddaddy Ralph race on along with so many of the other driver's from the beginning: Buck BAKER, TINY LUND, CALE YARBOROUGH, FIREBALL ROBERTS,LEE PETTY EVENTUALLY BUDDY BAKER, BOBBY AND DONNIE ALLISON AND COUNTLESS OTHERS 🏁🏆🏁 BEST CHILDHOOD EVER!! I CAN TELL YOU THAT YOUR GRANDDADDY RALPH , WHEN HE GOT TO THE TRACK (WE WERE ALWAYS IN THE PITS SO WE MIXED AND MINGLED WITH EVERYBODY (LUCKY US , NO WE WERE BLESSED) BUT WHEN RALPH UNLOADED HIS RACECAR, NOBODY TOUCHED IT!! NO BODY!! IT WAS RACE READY.. OTHER DRIVER'S WERE TWEAKING THIS OR THAT BUT NOT RALPH.. IT AND HE WAS AMAZING 😁👍❤️🤗🏁🏁🏆🏁🏁 AS ARE YOU AND YOUR DAD IS IN A LEAGUE OF HIS OWN 🏁🏆🏁 HE COULD DO THING'S THAT TECHNICALLY WERE IMPOSSIBLE ( THE PASS IN THE GRASS IS ONE PRIME EXAMPLE..LOL 😂😂) Just for the record, I hate the stage format and I don't think there may be a couple of driver's who could race a real racecar that they have to physically drive, and maybe those couple could last 400-600 laps/miles, but I don't think they would have the stamina to last that long.. NASCAR needs to take a hard look at themselves and remember their humble beginnings and regroup or they're going to lose more fans which is really sad!!!! Thank you DALE for ALL YOUR DEDICATION AND HARD WORK TO TRY TO MAKE NASCAR BETTER 🤗❤️🙏 GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR STAFF AND THEIR FAMILIES NOW AND ALWAYS 🙏🤗❤️🙏
Denny said exactly what I said. Why the hell would NASCAR preach safety and let Blaney run at a track with the fastest speeds without a latched window net? Look at the wreck earlier with Kyle Busch, Chastain, and Chase Elliott. Could you imagine if there was a crash at the end and debris flies in through the detached window net and strikes him in the head? Why the hell did they not let Blaney come down pit road and latch it and put him back in place. Denny is right. Someone in the booth should serve a four race suspension in the tower for that.
Why is the Doug Yates full video not available on Peacock? The last one is Mears. How long before it’s placed on Peacock?
It’s just a different experience WATCHING and listening as opposed to just listening…
I wish one of you would address this quote from Scott Miller. HERE IS THE QUOTE----“But coming to green he was warming his tires and you can see both his hands on the wheel warming the tires up, the window net was up. No way for us to know if he got the 100% latched or not and no way we could be certain that he didn’t get it latched so there is no way we could call him down to the pit road,” ..So you could see his hand IN THE CAR but not the window net?
He had bright yellow gloves on that you could easily see thru his windshield the entire race even on TV
@@wolfhunter6711 The window net is located outside the car. Every fan watching, every crew member watching could see it was not up properly. Why could NasClown not see this?
@@vinceedwards575 You asked about seeing his hands. I explained in simple terms why you could see his hands. I thought it was an easy concept for you to grasp. I over estimated your intelligence.
@@wolfhunter6711 So what is the reason they couldn't see the window net?
@@vinceedwards575 It is black, stationary and only visible from one side of the car. Gloves were bright yellow, moving and can be seen from 3 sides of the car. You are welcome.
I can just imagine telling Dale Sr and Cale Yarborough that they will not get the win if their middle finger is seen outside of the car during the race endind laps.😂 Man, I miss the NASCAR of days gone by.
I learn as a child. TWO WRONGS DON'T MAKE A RIGHT! But NASCAR is starting to slide these days and it needs to stop or I will no longer watch!
I think more important than anything is to look into the Race Director's actions and find out WHY he through the caution and the intent. Maybe JGR knows. This is NOT new to NASCAR, anyone who goes to NHMS knows that NASCAR has as much credibility as the 2022 FBI.
This was great. Dale Jr. A very hot commodity as a driver but I swear I think he is fabulous at what he is doing now. Right on!!
There HAS ALWAYS been a creditabilty with NASCAR.
I agree with Denny, a safety rule regarding racing without a window net properly attached is clear black and white. That said NASCAR shouldn’t have put Blaney in that position. Many people( not everyone) grew up with the phrase “ 2 wrongs don’t make a right” in which that’s what NASCAR tried. We saw Chastain launching off the Toyota of Kyle Busch like it was a scene out of Dukes of Hazard. If you’re gonna bend the rules, don’t put a drivers life in danger by letting him race with compromised equipment. Bend the rule by putting the order letting any the cars go to pit lane in the order of caution to fixed the compromised equipment no positions lost but crucially no positions gained either.
Oooo Denny hit the nail on the head, saying whoever was in charge they should be suspended also.
NASCAR has rules?? If they do, they're solid as jello!!
I don't care for Denny but I agree with that
Denny is absolutely on point here.
I listened to the podcast today and Denny was so right on the watering down of the NASCAR product and on NASCAR’s failure to “do” the right thing at the All Star race. Is interview was a breath of fresh air and the fans need a guy like Denny to call out NASCAR when they are doing something wrong.
I’m sure I am the umpteenth person to mention, but it would be awesome for these podcasts to be posted in their entirety on CZcams.
NASCAR proved in the All-Star race three things:
1- It has no problem lying to its fans. (window net was clearly not correctly put back up).
2- It has no problem jeopardizing the lives of drivers for a good finish (risked Blaney's safety to save face about the window).
3- They proved their leadership is unintelligent (because they could have let Blaney pit, put the net up, and re-take his spot achieving the same exciting finish, and 95% of fans would have been OK with that since it's an all-star race where regular rules are thrown out the window anyway, and also because by NASCAR throwing the yellow 100 yards before he took the checkered, he legit may not have been able to know the yellow occurred from his vantage point).
This sport could be so great, but since about 2002, it's been a clown show due to terrible leadership.
Never been a fan of Denny, but he is right this time. NASCAR can't pick and choose to how the rules and judgements are handed out! NASCAR should void Denny's pit road crews mistake and not do thec4 race suspension
I like him for how he tells it like it is, but he lost alot of respect for that bowman victory incident
Bowman was a hack
If the roles were switched, you would have gained respect for Bowman. Admit it.
So, it appears that Hamlin ONLY cares about the rules when to his benefit. Let's not forget his team appealed the clear infraction on loose wheel rule. Can't have it both ways. Safety is Safety!
I didn’t watch the race forgot it was on, the sport has changed so much that I now find things to do when it is on. But Denny is right on this.
Every time they touch or hit the table a bass thump comes through the audio. Anyone else notice this and find it annoying? 🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊
LMAO, Mike, NASCAR has had a credibility issue since about 2002 or 3. That being said, Denny is right on this. Disclaimer: I root for him, he was my favorite driver at the end of my following NASCAR, which was about a decade ago when the crap just got too deep.
Completely agree with denny, he said exactly what i said, they should of just let blaney come to pit road and fix it and come back out in the same position, its the all star race the rules are pretty much made up anyway. Someone in the control room should be given an involuntary vacation for what happened
He was 50 feet from the line when they threw that yellow. It was ridiculous. They should have let Blaney fix it.
NASCAR had no issues letting Harvick pass Martin for the win under caution at the 2007 Daytona 500.
I'm a Denny Hamlin fan but that in no way influences my decision when I say that I agree with his thoughts on it. I'm also a Ryan Blaney fan, but my first and only thought AFTER they threw the caution and the whole window net deal was, let him come down pit road, let the crew pin it up, the RIGHT way, so its safe, and then send him back out there and let him keep the position.
Anybody here know what channel this is on cable since channel 30 on Spectrum stopped being a channel?
How do we watch the full episodes. Seems like there not available
Will this lead to development of the window net area to insure drivers can attach and remove the window nets by themselves?
NASCAR, whoever turned on the yellow, screwed up but then NASCAR made it worse. They should have just left it alone, ended the race right there and just declared Blaney the winner and that the yellow was inadvertent. The next best thing would had been to let Blaney come down pit road and get the net replaced properly. NASCAR did everything wrong that night. Maybe they need to be "suspended" for 4 weeks..
When they came out with the format for the race I was worried something stupid was gunna happen with the race having to end under green.
I agree with Denny... Not the biggest Denny Hamlin fan but he's right!
Just because NASCAR is sitting in the front seat, doesn't mean they are driving the car. TV is in charge of this show.
Great podcast episode with DH.
I remember when Nascar stopped a race because the officials made the wrong call saying that Dale Earnhardt left off one lug nut. They stopped the race and put Dale in, I believe, third place.
There is a reason he’s my favorite driver. His “big picture” focus is what is needed for the sport
Shots fired. I'm looking forward to hearing from NASCAR when they fire back at Denny for this interview.
All of this drama is great. I have racing to enjoy on the weekends (for the most part), and I have all of this drama to enjoy during the week.
They broke the rules!!!! (Says the guy who drives for a manufacturer that didn’t have a 8 cylinder pushrod engine for the first 5 years in nascar)
Toyota has had a V8 for a long time.i know not in camry,s but I missed out on when ford &chevy had V8,s in taurus & luminas or whatever front wheel drive V6 crap they had ??.
@@vincesmith764 yes from 64-97 they made a V8 they then stopped their V series. Ford and Chevy still made V8s stock. Taurus SHOs had V8s in them. The Luminas didn’t but Chevy had their crate engine going…. Don’t think I need to tell you about dodge. I could drive down to summit and actually order one of the ford or Chevy blocks no problem. When TRD built their NASCAR specific block it wasn’t available to the public. It used to be a rule back in the day and it got changed for Toyota.
I agree, whoever made the decision to race, should at the very least be put in a different job or position, that don't require safety related calls. This should not be a judgement call, it's there design and they knew that the window net could not be put up by the driver. I think a suspension and fine should be implemented here to the person (I would bet it was more than one person involved). The "Powers to be" don't hesitate to fine teams for a lot less safety related issues, like wheel lugs after a race. It appears to be a double standard going on. With this new car they have already issued some pretty serious fines involved with performance related modifications. I think this fine should be right up there with the top tier fines. What happens next time if this issue comes up? It's obvious they realized they threw the yellow for a "WRECK" way to quick, did Stenhouse actually brush the wall or was that just dust?
Hey I don't like Denny Hamlin but I 100% agree with him on this issue.
look up speaking facts in the dictionary and you’ll find Denny Hamlin on it 🐐📠
Stfu DD jk🤣 ur a walking meme tho
Let's ummm PUMP THE BRAKES a bit... 😂
He is telling FACTS here tho... 😆
"Rules" should NOT apply when the rule maker caused the circumstance in the first place by throwing a bogus caution flag 2 seconds before the finish line checkered flag.
They screwed up and unfairly caused Blaney's issues...Even Hamlin admitted he deserved the win.
So if it is REALLY about "safety"....Since Nascar screwed up with a bogus caution flag that also would not have restarted any other race on the schedule but this one,...They should have simply allowed the man to come in and get the window net up and re-start from the front...
This still even gives Hamlin an undeserved second chance at Ryan Blaney.
This video conversation and Hamlin are pure, 100% bull$hit.
No sane person could disagree with what Hamlin just said.
Curious: what difference exactly does the window net really make safety wise? We have open and semi open cockpits in other forms of racing, why in a full body stock car, does it matter??
Absolutely matters. In short some of these accidents are super violent and exceed 10 Gs. At that point a person just “Blacks out” and whatever isn’t secured (like their arms) goes flying everywhere including out of the side, top, and front of the car. Arm straps have been required with dirt midget cars, sprint cars, silver crown cars and more for decades. Arm straps in open wheel cars are basically the equivalent of a window net in closed cockpit cars.
Absolutely 100% we shouldn't even be having this conversation because there shouldn't have been a caution, but Denny also makes a couple damn good points here. I personally do not see any reason they couldn't have had him pull to the end of pit road and an official help him get the net back up, I really don't think anyone would have been upset over that, especially becuase like Denny said, they're about to GWC for a Million f***ing dollars dude, the window net needs to be up.
The best thing Nascar can do it 100% own BOTH of their mistakes but I really don't see that happening.
I don't understand why so many of you all "hate" Denny Hamlin. He's respected enough by all the other drivers that he was elected by them to represent the drivers concerns to NASCAR. He's surely a future HoFer and is also a team owner. The way things go, some current driver might be driving one of his cars sometime in the future.
There's been a credibility factor with Nascar since it began.
Well!! He ain’t wrong. It all started with a caution that was thrown to add drama only! Nascar needs to own it
I don't really like Denny but he has a damn good point if they're going to find drivers for making mistakes then they got to have repercussions for safety officials that don't follow the rules
Denny has his moments on the track I don't like. Everyone whines no reason to hate him. But he on point not trying to dog on blaney but the people in the booth. The window net safety for drivers.
Please get on Spotify!!
Saying NASCAR has a credibility issue is like calling water wet.
People are gonna get mad at Denny over being outspoken at this simply because he’s the guy that finished second, but really he’s right on the money. NASCAR screwed up and put a driver’s safety at risk to cover their own earlier screwup by throwing the late caution
NASCAR and credibility rarely have anything to do with each other.
Not a Denny fan but, he’s 100% right
If you don’t have a green white checker rule, we don’t even have this discussion.
Denny got away with saying the F bomb on NBC during regular daytime hours on a Sunday, which is worse than the MRN offense.
So true...it wasn't a points race but even still that was a bullshit caution. Blaney should have been allowed to fix it.
Denny is on it
I can't stand Hamlin. Everybody says he's crying because he didn't win but he's not. NASCAR should have let Blaney fix the net without penalty!
When anyone ever uses the term NASCAR to describe a decision being made during a race or whatever, who exactly are the people that are "NASCAR"?
They should have said "inadvertent yellow flag, race is over". Score the field as they crossed the finish line when the checkered was out and pulled back for the yellow. Nascar almost cost Blaney a Million dollars.
If Blaney would have been killed in a racing accident with an un-secured window net, what would NASCAR be doing to cover that up?
Not a Denny fan, but he's right about this.
U just figured out Nascar has always been living to us
First time Denny spoke the truth
I would like for some "Long Time" fan of ASSCAR to say if I'm right or wrong. "Dennis" Miller said it wasn't in ASSCAR's "CHARACTER" to have brought Blaney in, and allowed them to fix the net, and then put him back in 1st place. I'm SAYING year's ago when it was NASCAR they held up a race, under caution, while they checked the "Score Cards" and then, they put a car back into where it belonged. Does ANYONE recall that?
Hey like him or not Denny hit the nail on the head.
There is no room in Nascorn for logic and wisdom. Why are you still expecting a correct outcome?
Now I gotta go listen to the whole thing. Dang it Dale, I’m tryin to get work done lol. Y’all are awesome. Idk if some of y’all have noticed over the years what kinda racer and now team owner Denny Hamlin has developed into but man alive. He’s one of my all time favs. Good luck the rest of the year Denny. Let’s do this thing! 🤘🏼
Dennys right, like we are all told, you can't fix a wrong with another wrong. Please don't lie to the people Nascar, we have technology as well.
Nascar has always had a credibility problem in my opinion.
I don't understand how its a safety issue. Indy cars don't even have a rough or windshield.
not saying Hamlin is wrong but there is a big difference between a loose tire that is a threat to all drivers verses a net down that is only a threat to one driver
No lies told here.
Not a fan of Hamlin but he's spot on here.
I absolutely dislike Denny! But he is correct with these comments. Crapcar needs to follow its own rule book! Nobody likes a fixed sport! Oh I don't waste my time watching these crappy races either. It's hard enough to watch the 8 minute CZcams video summary of the race. But Denny is right and I'm man enough to admit it! Cudos to Denny calling out crapcar! Keep it up
