- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 มิ.ย. 2024
- Denny Hamlin and Jared Allen discuss Denny's loss in the final laps of the NASCAR Cup Series race in Texas. Denny explains the strategy behind racing Chase Elliott so hard, and what caused him to spin out. Is Texas Motor Speedway's paving to blame for the endless parade of cautions?
Denny then discusses the drivers' meeting with NASCAR about the failed short-track package and what changes NASCAR is willing to consider to fix it.
Denny also explains why seven-time NASCAR Cup Champion Jimmie Johnson is having his own struggles driving the NextGen car, and they hear from fans on #DearDenny.

You can say a lotta things about Denny but I've learned so much Nascar 101 from listening to AD. His discussion of the pavement problems with these NextGen cars really opened my eyes.
This podcast has been his best PR move in the last 7 years haha
Before I watched this whole video, he tried to win. He made the race that much better. Hater or lover, that moment made the race.
It was a total Dale Earnhardt move. Race for the win. I love it. That's what it's all about!
I think he did what anyone in that field would have do e race hard especially towards the end for the win
Giving Denny kudos for the praising other drivers. But don’t change be who you are.
That’s what makes it exciting
You wouldn’t be a lot of people favorite driver if you were in the business of backing off. Always go for that win!
A lot of people?! You’ve never been to a nascar race apparently. He’s the most booed driver.
@@stellingbanjodude You realize that the most unpopular athlete/ team in any sport still has hundreds of thousands of fans right? I’d argue that Denny has made more fans in the last 2 years compared to many years before.
no way you said a lot of people brother
Ive seen a TON of 11 and A11 In shirts at the races I've been.
Just came to say my driver won and is a champion.😂
As someone who's gone to Texas for decades now, those fence lights that were facing towards the fans that Denny talked about are gone. That or they're there and they don't use them. They also used to have caution lights in the actual surface against the wall for a few years. Have no idea why the fence lights are gone.
A fan from the start of your career and was yelling at the TV. Love the competitive side but 2nd is the big picture. Hamlin for the championship
Having 2 or 3 compounds and having to use at least 2 over a 500 mile race would be so fucking awesome !!!
Never knew Jared had a Larson 1100 AND Utah sticker on his laptop. Man just became my new fav podcast host
I’m the biggest #9 fan ever. Trust me. But I gotta say Denny. I’m starting to like you more and more. Your show is super educational. And you admitted to being wrong lol. I hope you win a title. I don’t want you to end up like Mark Martin. A super elite talent that doesn’t get the credit he deserves. But to win you have to take chances. 2nd place is fine in the regular season but come playoff time it’s 1st or last.
I think many people regard Mark Martin as one of the greats still, despite no title. He won so many races, beating the best and frankly, the title of being a “champion” has never been the same, since the Chase format came in, in 2004 and I think it was further tarnished with this playoff format. Just my two cents. I think of Denny as one of the greatest drivers over the last twenty years.
Agree 💯
This weekend reformed why you’re my favorite driver, the fact when people cheered when you crashed just let me know you’re doing something right.
I thank you again for signing my shirt during introductions, you’re the man!
Plus the side wall of the tire is a lot smaller now.. not allowing the tire to spring that let's you hang the back of the car out.. on the subject of Jimmie
Never been a fan, but after yesterday's race, I f**k with Denny Hamlin!!! Ballsy move going for the W!!! Too bad it didn't stick!!! I'm pulling for him to get that 1st championship this year for Big Denny!!!
Huge Matt Kenseth energy with that move. Did everything to win even if he wrecks himself.
Yes!! Thanks for speaking up about the scoring pylons. We need them. 😊
Kyle has 66 Truck race wins ...not 1,263 just in case someone was wondering....lol
Duh?
He was being sarcastic because everyone knew Busch basically owns the truck series
Thought you and Reddick had Chase covered. No offense I'm glad he won. Nascar and TMS. Needed that. The end of the xfinity race was pretty awesome too. No offense against Sam but I was pulling for Seig.
Another great episode, Denny’s knowledge on all topics is top notch 👌
Denny Hamlin = Knows how to build race tracks.
awesome podcast as always
guys on DBC said they stayed under caution because they were trying to get the running order straight. a lot of drivers were side by side contesting their position.
It's true, I was right there at turn 4 and was probably the only one not cheering when you span. Tough day but it was awesome to see you drive in person!
On the topic of the caution lights, I remember when they used to have every emergency/work vehicles flip their lights on as well. I noticed a stretch where they stopped even doing that, thought at Richmond this spring, some did turn their lights on as well.
Denny, I love your style BECAUSE you do not "just back off".
Racing is what it's about - and with "racing luck", Racing will bring champships -- and without "racing luck" championship may stay away regardless of whether or not you "just back off" :-0)
Don't ever just back off.
Chastain did the same thing and accidentally got into Denny one time racing hard. Denny threw a temper tantrum the whole race hounding Ross. Then a few races later Denny wrecked Ross to get the win and caused a whole bunch of cars to be wrecked.
@mossman381 It wasn't just that race. It was a series of races leading to that where Chastain has been costing Hamlin... Chastain definitely needed a payback. With that said, I still think my favorite driver Denny still came off worse.
@@pwm_boboman Racing hard and wrecking someone is totally different than just wrecking someone like Denny did to Ross I believe at Atlanta. Not only did he wreck Ross but a whole bunch of other cars. I believe Denny wrecked Larson to get the win. Just turned him into the wall. Denny jumped the start zone a few races ago. I have seen Denny race hard and wreck people. Did they hound him the rest of the race??? A professional brushes it off and moves on.
Nice reference to Richmond at 49:00 lol
I think the official reasoning for such a long caution period was that drivers / teams were arguing about position back in the pack
Dale junior spoke up!!! Publicly about the tire!! Along with the rest of you. At least its moving in the right direction. Although i feel h.p. is a big factor as well
Great insight as always. I liked Denny's answer to the question about tires. I think the teams should be able to choose what compound works for them like F1.
Is there any way to store the tires that would reduce degradation? Maybe vacuum seal them or cover them in wax or some other sealant? Fill them with argon or something?
Love you telling Ricky to “keep it straight” during the last 10 lap of a race 😂😂👏🏾👏🏾
Denny you've been down for 2 episodes now. Cheer up my man!
Excellent commitment to getting the win rather than just points. Joy of hindsight. But if anyone in Hendricks needs to be concerned, surely it should be the 48 not the 9. When was the last time ABowman was at the front of a race? Very informative and enjoyable podcast as usual.
All the Respect Denny! Way to put em on the Dash and send it in. Keep on wheelin' 2024 is your year to bring home the gold.
Scoring pylons are a must for fans in the stands. Especially on short tracks with lap traffic. If your radio isn’t working or MRM/PRN isn’t working at the track, you have no clue what is going on.
Nope... we clearly seen them burning laps under cation.. Harvick started to call the choose and said nevermind
Yeah I don't know what they were doing running parade laps NASCAR you're idiotic you can ruin a good show and you have every race is a s*** show with you😢
The whole loose tire thing happening to multiple teams is frustrating.
I still don't get why the teams cannot have their own tire guns?
I hear the whole "cost" thing, but then I call BS on the penalties for air guns provided by NASCAR. If the teams had their own tire changing setup, then I'm all in for the penalties being severe.
Not counting how many have had lugs that were stuck and can't get them off hardly
You people will find anything to cry over 😂 everything doesn’t need an explanation. Damn
@davids5006 not many have had that happen
@@johnhaas2523 Bubbas had to be cut off recently..
Larson had one stuck and some others. It's an issue that shouldn't be happening
Love the info on the Goodyear tires. 250,000 a car on unused tires. Crazy. They should be on consignment. Only pay when used. NASCAR really wants to save teams money and they let this happen. Crazy. Be better Nascar. Good job Denny. Love this show.
Allmendinger commented on the problem passing in the Saturday race.
You know they fixed Michigan weeping and layed more dirt and drain pipe and repaved the whole track over what they did for better racing since.
If you want to change Texas, make it a smaller Fontana; flatter D-shaped oval that is still high speed. Make the pavement abrasive; don’t use the stuff from Michigan that is nuke-proof. Don’t put chemicals on it. Put the slightest bit of progressive banking in to make it multi-groove. Sweeping front straight away is safer than the three-section dogleg we have now and would still be OK for the grandstand configuration.
No external infrastructure change needed.
I’ve put way too much thought into this; but honestly this is the kind of thing that could be modeled and iterated on iracing or other sims and I’d be very interested to see the results.
Not to rain on your parade but you’re describing what original Las Vegas and Kansas were. They were decent but not great. Plus if you do that then you have to wait another 3-5 years for the track surface to age in order to have an apron to wall racing groove. If you’re going to stay with the current walls it’s almost better to do a Homestead style banking. It’s more progressive and it’ll wear in faster.
Texas shape is fine look at the car speeds not only NASCAR but also F1. People enjoy Fast Racing speed is King. I agree with the abrasive comment tho 100%. Tire wear is needed.
I thought for sure you had it. I'm not unhappy with the outcome as I like all the Hendrick drivers, but you had me on my feet rooting for another win. I hope this is your year.
Clown
I’m biased to Texas as it’s my home track and I was there in person but I do hope they fix the issues that we saw Sunday oh and the light that was out that was noticed Friday night
@dennyhamlin the yellow lights used to be like 8 foot long and it was awesome at night races
Am a Elliott fan and am a say good race Denny it was a really good race
Hey Denny , I been a nascar fan around 35 years . What's your feeling on the use of Caution flags. I still can't them figure out as far as ... sometimes it seems like nascar just wants one so bad ,if a bird flew too low the flag would wave; sometimes they seem to turn a blind eye , or The Cautions last way too long. The Caution before you wrecked at Texas seemed way too long . If you had 4 or 5 laps ,instead of green white checker things probably would have been different ????? Thanks for Your Time .

Never been a big Denny fan, but sure I do appreciate his insight & honesty and this podcast. But SOMBODY PLEASE tell him that it's fRustrate NOT "fustrate"... lol
Swales, maybe? To *me*, Denny has, of late, kind of "become" NASCAR - even more so than Junior. Sharp fellow. Would be fun to hang with.
Best podcast around.
Hahahaha
wait, im confused....denny said he was glad they were going to stop looking at aero at short tracks because that wasn't going to fix anything, then later said short tracks suck because they are single lane and the aero behind someone is too bad to pass them.....am i missing something?
As far as taking out the scoring towers at tracks, I wonder if it’s because a lot of people use the nascar app to track the race. That’s what I do when I go to races. It’s more accurate and easier following on the nascar app, even when watching in person.
Goodyear is in his target sights lol. Now he's insinuating they are price gouging lmao. Denny's filter is officially off!
Hey Denny I've been following you since you started racing
William Byron's laps lead total is lower despite 3 wins is partly due to his most dominant of his wins coming at the track with the least amount of laps (COTA). If you put in number of miles of kms lead, it would be closer aligned to Larson's, Hamlin's and Truex's amount lead.
When Denny lost traction, I could hear from the infield, and over the loud roar of the cars, the entire grand stand gasp before he even hit the wall.
good years monopoly on nascar racing and can't even refund the unused tires... or use them at practice.... or return them to be rebuilt, ridiculous greed. $$$$$$$$$$$$$
Good info about Jimmie. DH#1
Threw another one away!
From TV it looks you handle the bumps perfectly but Elliott position his car well to block the air and make you lose down force
Goodyear should at least have to buy back unused tires from the teams when they bring a garbage tire to the race. Like the ones they brought to Martinsville.
When you are loose you have some chance to make every corner. If you’re tight you may not. I’m used to trees along the course not walls. That chance has so far treated me well. Wood knocked on.
Circle track racing is different, but I want loose, but as close to balanced as possible. Throttle management,
Interesting talking about the older tires could make the car funny, with goodyear constantly changing the tires would it ever benefit to use an older set that could maybe benefit the driver instead?
The race was all Larson untill the tire! Damn know body had anything for him....
Nothing is all Larson at the beginning of the race.
@@ShereeAshleyArend Come on he would of won and you know it because he owns chase lol
@@ShereeAshleyArend Chase couldn't carry Larson lunch box please lol
Billy Bob’s is a great time! But…if the bet would have been on a man wearing a Cowboy hat…it would have ended in a KO 🤣🤣
Shit happens. Keep diggin’, DH! 💜🧡
Goodyear makes roughly 9 Million a year in unused tires in the Cup Series? Wild
I know what he's talking about pointed it out I believe on Monday and constantly kept referring back to turn 3 and 4 for crying out loud you can even notice it on NASCAR heat 5 video game so if you can feel it there imagine what it's like in the car
So on the weekly episode of i didn't win and what's a real win vs a lucky win edition.
You should ask if you can cut in, but then start to dance with the guy. Have the video ready!
The length of the cautions was bullsh$!.
Whiner
@WillyBisfast not whining. I'd rather see them race then ride around at 55 mph for no reason.
I agree that NASCAR took way too many laps on caution at the end for no good reason. The dips and bumps comments about the track tho, Cmon Denny really?? Every track has those in different areas get over it. No one else complains about the dips and bumps 😢
GY could agree to give back 60% of the cost of the unused tires to the teams since they'd have to be recycled anyway. Better than nothing.
You shouldn’t have to back off a car should drive beside another car without just snapping out from under you, this just solidifies the aero on this car sucks
This same thing happens on every generation of car nothing new
They've done that since the 90s though, this is nothing new, it's how the aero in these cars has worked for 40 years
The gen 4 did the same as did the COT GEN 5, yet everyone pretty much says those were the best generations
Okay whatever y’all say I’ve been watching for over 20 years and I’ve never seen a car do it as bad as this car to the point where the driver can’t even anticipate it, much less try to correct it/save it
Well I'm definitely looking forward to Talladega I'm expecting sold out crowd myself
What they need is a car that isn’t so easy to overdrive. More power is the first fix that would address it.
I think any of the drivers would race hard especially the last lap . They all are just trying to do their job and they know the importance of winning for the team the organization and the sponsors
I appreciate the going for it. Second is the 1st loser.
If you didn’t end up going for the win, you would’ve asked yourself, why didn’t I push harder?, so you can’t really fault that decision even though it didn’t work out.
So you said that in the Xfinity series, the trailing car can pick the back end of the front car up because it messes with the air and in the next GEN cars they don’t do that but I believe I hear the announcers talk about it all the time you know, for instance Danny Hammond drove right up to the bumper of Joey Logano Took all the air off of his car push Joey up the track and Joey got loose here all the time is that different than what you’re saying and explaining that and you also do it on restricted tracks when you draft don’t go together away I’m asking for knowledge. I’m not trying to be a smart ass or anything, but you hear the announcers Larry MackKevin Harvick now Clint Boyer Darrell Tripp in the past year all these guys talk about the arrow push
Why don't they just repave the parts of the track where that stuff is baked on? But not the whole thing?
Well the fox booth had your back, they immediately blamed chase for wrecking you 😂😊
First.
Thrilled you didn't win. Sad that you wrecked. Woulda been a fun race to watch til the end.
Still would have lose
@@daywithdave fine by me lol.
Can we go back to five lug cars and narrow tires. Yes longer pit stops but I think the overall product was better.
They need to fix how lapped cars get their lap back. It's not really fair the cars more than 1 lap down because they have an unequal/unfair path to getting a lap back compared to everybody else. The 2 lap car could pass all the 1 lap cars (but he still has another lap to make up on them under green and there's just no way) but then still has to start behind them again on the next restart. He can't even get a lap back unless there are no other cars 1 lap down. It's not a just rule at all. They should get passes too to make it fair.
The 12 was really good until mistakes and getting taken out.
Going for broke.... and he got it😂
Not Ricky’s fault you finished 30th, you ultimately spun the car out. Take your own advice and keep the car straight, 30th or 2nd you pick.
i love Denny but he knows the bump was there it dont matter what the temp of the track was he found out is it its like doing the same thing knowing it could happen js
Lots of haters commenting on the episode. Makes me laugh.
I get not liking Denny Hamlin. But no need to be ridiculous and/or hypocritical.
It's in the spirit of competition.. stop crying .
@bighand1530 well denny is the most hypocritical driver on the planet
Glad the wife got a dance outta ya, yeah checkers or wreckers, or a top2.... I mean.... It's nascar denny, gotta go for that win.
The number 3 was Kyle Bush winning number. I don't think that the family of Dale Sr. has any saying to decline Kyle proposition to run the number 3 car. RCR, was week on that proposal from Mr Bunch.
What????😂😂😂😂
@@bobbyackerson4125 that was a very good What???? 🤣. I just believe that if he gets the number 3, he will play harder to win racers . After all, Kyle asked for that car to compete. Also Kyle, most likely will make a turn from villain to most favorite driver.
@@miguela.morales255 he doesn't give a shit what number is on his car/truck 8,18,51,54,7,5 lmao I can keep going with the #'s he's won with. 🤣 🤣
@@miguela.morales255he doesn't care what #'s on his car/truck 8,18,51,54,7,5 I can keep going on numbers for cars/trucks he's won with lmao😂😂,sounds like a YOU problem
NASCAR is so stubborn about not fixing the horsepower problem. They’re so worried about trying to solicit a new manufacturer
Because they want a certain style of racing
They're prob gonna build a nurburg
😂Stockyard 💩starter, 2 grand 😂
denny dennyed himself
Maybe aged tires are the key to this new car 🤷🏼♂️
Im an Elliot fan but with 12 or 13 to go it disnt restart untill 3 to 4 to go.wtf? Long cautions is b.s.
its funnny hes saying just keep it straight, when Richmond fell to him because of the exact same type of caution. his own driver caused that, but of course its fine in that case lmao otherwise just pull over guys
They burn laps because of commercials they do it every race
Truly educational to get into a driver's mind. Gained a lot of respect for Danny in the past couple of weeks after having had a totally wrong perception of him for a long time! Seems like Goodyear needs to learn a lesson about SUSTAINABILITY...
Denny ask me, I would’ve made that 2 grand no problem
Denny im not a fan of yours but i never want to see you or any body race for a 2nd. when a win is right there...
That literally makes you a fan of everyone...😂
Blaney wouldn’t have been back there to get wrecked by Preece if his crew hadn’t cost him multiple spots on every single pit stop!
