Despite having the fastest cars, Denny Hamlin had disappointing results in his last two races. In the NASCAR Cup Series race at Texas Motor Speedway, Hamlin and Chase Elliott engaged in a fierce battle for most of the race. In the end, Hamlin’s attempt to pass Elliott resulted in contact, causing him to spin and hit the outside wall near turn 4, ending his race. This unfortunate incident ruined his chances of finishing in second place. Reflecting on the result, Hamlin took responsibility for the unsafe maneuver during his podcast, Action Detrimental.
Although Hamlin acknowledges that second place would have been a satisfactory result, he emphasized the importance of taking risks in races. He also praised Chase Elliott for his victory and commended his own team’s performance. Despite the setback, Hamlin remains optimistic and determined to bounce back in the next race at Talladega.
During the podcast, Hamlin shared his thoughts before the collision with Elliott. He hoped to pass the Hendrick Motorsport driver in the final laps and secure the win. However, his efforts were unsuccessful and he was unable to pass Elliott. Nevertheless, Hamlin maintains a positive attitude and believes he has one of the strongest cars this season. He remains committed to competing at the front of the pack.
