Denny Hamlin asks NASCAR to stop “financially draining” The Clash.

Denny Hamlin pede à NASCAR para parar de “drenar financeiramente” The Clash.

The NASCAR Clash, an annual race held in February before the start of the season, has been a longstanding event on the calendar since 1979. Over the years, several drivers have claimed victory in this race. This year, it was Denny Hamlin who emerged as the winner. However, despite his success in The Clash, Hamlin expressed his reservations about the concept of a non-championship race and even suggested that NASCAR should consider eliminating it.

Fans have always eagerly awaited The Clash, which takes place just before the Daytona 500, as it offers a glimpse of which team and driver combination may be the one to watch in the upcoming races. Some drivers also see the race as a valuable warm-up opportunity, allowing them to adjust to their new cars. However, there are those who have a strong stance against non-championship races, and Denny Hamlin is one of them.

Hamlin believes that holding The Clash every year is a financial burden for the teams. Unlike regular race weekends, teams do not receive the same amount in prizes and financial support, which can lead to increased costs and potential dissolution of teams. While attracting more fans to the sport is a positive outcome, the financial pressure it imposes on teams cannot be ignored.

The race in Darlington was an exciting spectacle, with Denny Hamlin emerging as the winner on the 1.3-mile track after a drought of over two years. However, the weekend also showcased impressive performances from other drivers, including Hamlin’s focus on a driver who may have gone unnoticed by others. Despite finishing 15th on the track, Hamlin believed the result did not accurately reflect the driver’s performance. This driver, who races for FRM, was in contention for a top-ten finish, marking the second one after Talladega.

Unfortunately, a poorly executed pit stop by the driver’s team caused his race to take a downward turn, costing him the opportunity to finish higher in the results. However, Hamlin praised the driver’s effort and expressed optimism for the upcoming All-Star race this weekend.
