NASCAR Slams Denny Hamlin’s False Claims Over All-Star Race Controversy

In a fiery exchange of accusations, NASCAR has clapped back at Denny Hamlin, debunking his allegations regarding the All-Star Race rule book controversy. The dispute arose from the proposed idea of allowing teams to construct cars with Next Gen parts outside the regular rule book constraints, with the aim of enhancing the short track racing experience. Despite the potential for innovation, teams swiftly rejected the notion, citing concerns over additional costs.

Hamlin, a co-owner of 23XI Racing, vehemently opposed the proposal, highlighting the exorbitant estimated cost of up to $2 million as a major deterrent. He argued that the financial investment outweighed the $1 million prize for the race winner. However, NASCAR’s version of events, as presented on the Hauler Talk podcast, contradicted Hamlin’s assertions made on his podcast, Actions Detrimental.

Mike Forde, NASCAR’s managing director of racing communications, revealed that the proposal was tabled to competition directors on March 12th, with prior discussions held on the matter. Despite initial talks, teams raised significant apprehensions, leading to the abandonment of the idea. Forde disputed Hamlin’s cost analysis, stating, “What, actually, it could cost, is zero dollars or potentially save team’s money.” He clarified that teams were not permitted to modify or create new parts, emphasizing the utilization of existing single-source components.

Furthermore, Forde outlined potential cost-saving measures available to teams, such as repurposing body panels from previous races for the All-Star event. While acknowledging the unlikelihood of this approach, he suggested it as a viable option for smaller teams. The podcast also disclosed additional liberties teams would have had, including adjusting damper lengths, spoiler variations, and diffuser options, albeit within specified parameters.

Addressing Hamlin’s criticism of the lack of forethought in the proposal, Forde vehemently denied the claim, asserting that months of meticulous planning had gone into the initiative. He refuted Hamlin’s allegations, stating, “There was a working group working on these ideas for months. There was a lot of thought put into this.”

The contentious debate between NASCAR and Denny Hamlin underscores the complexities of rule changes in professional racing and the financial considerations that underpin such decisions. As the All-Star Race saga continues to unfold, the clash of perspectives sheds light on the intricate dynamics between drivers, teams, and the governing body of the sport.
