Hamlin is the best current driver without a Championship, he should get it this year. Reminds me of the things Mark Martin back in the day......Good luck Denny!
Denny Hamlin is finally becoming a great driver and person and he realizes that you treat people with respect, you will get that in return and Hamlin is finally getting his down to earth personality out in the open and his racing and personal life is great and maybe he can win this championship if he keeps doing what he's doing.
You know, I'm going to disagree with you, Papa Smurf. I think both of the Busch brothers have grown up a lot over the last few years. We don't see Kurt flying off the handle very much anymore, and he holds his tongue in interviews. Kyle has learned how to better conduct himself... But the guy is passionate. He's a great driver, and he has the drive to win. There are times when he's really disappointed by the events of the day, and in those times I believe he'd rather spend some time to himself instead of around media. He and I are similar in that way. But NASCAR forces him to spend time around the media when he doesn't want to, and that's where we start to see outbursts
@@OriginalKKid ....As a fellow race fan, i certainly respect your opinion. It is an awesome sport with so many talented drivers! Kyle has the talent for sure, i just believe working on his attitude would not hurt....but help his image. Take JJ 7-time for example. just saying. Thx! =)
Wasn’t there a rule to where drivers and teams had to go as hard as they can... I think it came after spin gate with bowyer and the logano/ Frontrow racing incident at Richmond
when you're coming to the end of your career you know who's a threat and who's not. I believe Kevin harvick was out of respect. and Jimmie Johnson was no threat without Chad
Jimmie without Chad is debatable. He has been really good with Cliff and would of made the playoffs had for example Watkins Glen, Darlington and a few other races went his way
2:23 nahh Jeff that was 2 years ago... That horse has been beaten so much it's not even relevant anymore, no you'll never change my mind that move wasn't dirty but it over now! I respect Denny as a driver just like everyone else that gets behind the wheel of a car. I hope Chase and Denny are both battling for the Championship in Miami 🏁
I remember someone doing this when they first started doing stage racing but their crew chief yelled at them on the radio.. I don’t remember the driver though..
So Denny finally figured out that respecting others goes a long way. I was wrong about him. He’s been saying he’s not the jerk he used to be and I didn’t believe him but i think he might’ve just figured out the key to multiple cups.
Judging by the thumbnail I thought it would have been a negative thing about Hamlin. Not to mention it's not even relevant or about Jimmy. Might change it. Just my two cents though.
It was in Hamlin's best interest to let other drivers unlap themselves. The more cars that were on the lead lap the harder it would be for guys like Brad Keselowski. I do not believe that little Denny tried to be a nice guy on the track, let alone for the sake of being a nice guy.
@@jesusfamilyracingaviation8641 why would it be a correct assumption to assume he didn't have an ulterior motive? Sure maybe he let Johnson by to be a "good guy" but that likely wasn't the only reason.
I know it's been a while that they've been allowed to run in NASCAR, but I just can't stand hearin Toyota (a Japanese last name) bein mentioned in any context when it comes to an American racing series...it literally makes me feel a little sick to my stomach....
Honda in IndyCar: *ARE WE A JOKE TO YOU* Plus you often see more Japanese cars than American cars these days plus companies like Dodge left racing while most Japanese companies like Toyota, Nissan, Honda and Subaru are embracing racing
Jimmie is done. There ain’t no next year, no year after that, and no year 2075 left for him. He needs to acknowledge that and get out while he can still be remembered as 7 time rather than finishing in bottom half of the field every time... He’ll always be 7 time champ, but people only remember you for your first impression and your last impression. His C’ships were in the middle and he doesn’t need to keep going so that his last 10 years are the last impression.
I believe you have my stapler I won’t agree nor disagree with that, although the latter has far more justification. In fact, your statement is fair and deserves some attention. But, those 7 are in the books now, forever...regardless of whether or not he will ever compare to Earnhardt and the older legends...which he won’t. Nobody even try because he will never compare. But, we have what we have this day in age...sad...
Johnson said it was his year 2 years ago, said the same thing last year, said it again this year. Saying it’s his year next year is like living in a fairy tale. The guy barely beat bubba Wallace at the all star race for crying out loud. Time to move on man, the game has changed.
Bubba was a god at the all star race. He beat not only Johnson but: Byron, Chase, Bowman, Kurt Busch, maybe Kyle Busch, Brad, Joey, Hamlin, Aric and a few others. Bubba just had. a good car at that race
Ah yes. Another “fan” who cannot get over the “old days”. Those days are over, accept it. If you have truly watched the stages, then you’d see that they are in fact exciting. We have guys racing for tenth place a third the way into a race. Guys are now racing for the entire race. Not toward the end but the entire race. It also incentivizes dominating the whole race rather than just hang til end and then go up front. You “fans” cry about non racing and then when given it, cry about it. NASCAR downfall is Own fans. Worst fans in sports. You want the sport to die just to prove your point. It’s really sad
@@supremeleadergnkdroid3202 yeah fans like you that except anything and everything are definitely the downfall. Think their call yes men or fanboys. Stages are gimmicks nothing more nothing less. Just like the playoffs, win a race and hang around until the last 10. I still follow NASCAR but it's more entertainment than integrity like the WWE when compared to other discipline or the " good old days" I've come to except that.
Hamlin respects Jimmie Johnson. So he knows how great he is and got a taste of that in 2010. This is certainly a different Denny Hamlin.
Jimmie will help him in homestead bank on it
@@marshallpeters1437 Not if Chase is in it.
@@brownbuffalo3411 hendrick has given chase better race chances jimmie doesnt care 😂😂
This used to be a common courtesy when they would race back to the caution
Also, they used to lineup the lap down cars next to the starters, so it was a way to get them out of the leaders way.
Hamlin is the best current driver without a Championship, he should get it this year. Reminds me of the things Mark Martin back in the day......Good luck Denny!
About Jimmie Johnson
*shows argument with Chase Elliott*
Made me click to watch....

He has always been a great driver.
I totally agree! Fedex has a good one in DH! =)
He sold his soul
Would like to see Denny win championship
Denny might be my favorite driver now!
Why that thumbnail though 😂💀
Ikr
Clickbait
They wanted you to believe it was the 1 finger peace sign
I give him props for 2 things Not lapping JJ And Not wrecking Chase
Its not Martinsville when it comes to Chase Elliott
Never thought I say this about Hambone Buuuuut, That’s what I call showing respect.
DH has matured.....i wish i could say the same for ALL the drivers.....ie kyle busch!
papa smurf lol Kyle Busch is a real racer. Denny Hamlin is a pushover.
Kyle Martinez exactly

He's been running better

No. Those were just penalties

@@despacitosuarez fr he got wrecked the entire last 4 races before the chase .
Denny, Great Way To Be !! You've become a better driver for giving back to others!!

Do you remember the race?
A real classy act!
It was the right move for Hamlin to make. Nuff said.
So Denny finally figured out that respecting others goes a long way. I was wrong about him. He’s been saying he’s not the jerk he used to be and I didn’t believe him but i think he might’ve just figured out the key to multiple cups.
Ok so the red car was a lap down too or 2 laps? He let multiple guys pass him
Test Fortester that was Parker Klingerman who was a few laps down at that point so he probably checked up for Jimmie

This is a great point. Idk if he even knew that but either case, he won. 👍🍻
You are exactly right Esteban, great point
Well we're gonna have to go with his statement
Esteban Rápido He said he let jimmie go! Does anyone pay attention to interviews or just make false assumptions?
@@jesusfamilyracingaviation8641 why would it be a correct assumption to assume he didn't have an ulterior motive? Sure maybe he let Johnson by to be a "good guy" but that likely wasn't the only reason.
Way to go #11
“Rubbing is racing Harry”
He also let another toyota who was behind jimmie go. Maybe that's the real reason but everyone thinks it was for 48.
Rory Malloy that was Parker Klingerman who was a few laps down at that point so he probably checked up for Jimmie
@@rjlamantia8646 congrats to you for copy and pasting that reply on the same 12 comments. 🏆
I know it's been a while that they've been allowed to run in NASCAR, but I just can't stand hearin Toyota (a Japanese last name) bein mentioned in any context when it comes to an American racing series...it literally makes me feel a little sick to my stomach....
If it makes you feel any better, alot of their cars and trucks are made in the USA.
Honda in IndyCar: *ARE WE A JOKE TO YOU*
Plus you often see more Japanese cars than American cars these days plus companies like Dodge left racing while most Japanese companies like Toyota, Nissan, Honda and Subaru are embracing racing
What about Kia!!
Need Buick an dodge back, nascar should be American Cars, O ya Fox I hate soccer!!
Who cares.

I wonder if Jimmie got a participation ribbon after the race.
Do I not destroy my enemies if I make them my friend's? = Abraham Lincoln
I HATE JGR, but i really hope Denny wins the championship this yr
Ummmm I think it was for that red toyata behind Johnson....................
Blake Gordon that was Parker Klingerman who was a few laps down at that point so he probably checked up for Jimmie
Blake Gordon Ummm no
Hamlin should be more careful because the 48 restarted right behind him in 3rd on the second to last restart.
And Jimmie repaid him by pushing him out front on the restart.
@@joncashk sure, but he also could've passed Hamlin and won the race.
I think if he could have he would have. Jimmie was never a threat all day.
Anyone ever realize maybe he was really just letting the 96 by, I mean it’s a Toyota...
Thought about it too...
Now why talk about two years ago.....holy crap....do some homework
Martinsville should be a cut off race .
Johnson said it was his year 2 years ago, said the same thing last year, said it again this year. Saying it’s his year next year is like living in a fairy tale. The guy barely beat bubba Wallace at the all star race for crying out loud. Time to move on man, the game has changed.

I may have gotten one of those wrongs
Nerfgunner 360 the one you got wrong was where you complimented bubba Wallace’s driving. I’m surprised that guy has a regular drivers license.
stages have ruined NASCAR anyways so...
What are u doing here then?
They havnt tho

@@Si1verRaven I mean racing is now considered entertainment
I think this kind of behavior is bad for the sport. It loses credibility. There is a time to quit and a time to race.
