Denny what I'm hearing you say is now that nascar builds the cars there are no advantages and the only way some drivers can win is if they drive for the big money teams that can afford to build a faster car
I love listening to your podcast
Here we go again ! Victim hood of Denny Hamlin. Even though he brings all of this upon himself. Talk about not being self aware either. Maybe Denny Hamlin will start crying next & claim he has learned, which he hasn't.
This podcast is nothing more than Dale Jr. & Mike Davis giving him a platform to cry & complain & to attack others.
All this Podcast has shown is how thin skinned, immature & how much a child Denny Hamlin really is.
& then Dale Jr. & Mike Davis running to protect Denny at all cost. No matter what he says or does.
Been around since the C Yarb days — the difference is these cars R tough like never B4!!!!
I've been thinking lately that track position is more important than driver talent. It's pretty whack. I am not a fan of this, make it all the same and the driver is the difference. It is not that at all. More horsies and let them build the cars with some competitive advantage to make things interesting. This cookie cutter racing bullshit is boring AF!
Great show guys!! I love getting Denny's perception of the race. More horsepower, tire fall off, and gearing in my opinion.
Less than 10% of viewers are htting that like button
Another tire war would be wonderful.
When everybody has the same car this is what happens. Go back to every team build their own. You might have less capable winners but it would be much more interesting.
Your doing noble work. Drown out all the nay sayers who let their own jelousy and negativity devour their own spirit. Question, do teams or NASCAR specifically have drivers who arent car owners sign NDA agreements preventing them from voicing their personal opinions on their cars, crew or management, or opinions of the overall NASCAR product that is being put out in general?
NASCAR the only sport you lose money even when you’re the champion
I agree about Adam Alexander being great in the booth!
950hp minimum please!
Your not Denny Downer! Your Denny the Pickle Kisser !!!!!!!!!
NASCAR promotes Bubba and no one cares. He’s not popular by any means. He might have got sponsors with the rope deal but he didn’t earn any fans.
What Nascar has done…they have taken a Joe Biden play from the White House. They have made their decision to go the equity way and everyone will get a trophy in the end. In the mean time they will lose fans until they let the teams be teams and drivers be drivers. This Gen car in my opinion will be the end of Nascar as we know it unless they change something fast. Let's get back to stock car racing..not equity racing.
Just want to say I'm not a Denny fan in the racing stand point but I have a new respect for him after watching him on here. New found respect.
I just want to know would nascar do the same thing for daddy as they did for Chase if he got hurt
I've never liked Hamlin, but, man, he is a great teacher. I know many of us leave his podcast with a lot more knowledge of racing than we had before. He makes good points about horsepower and other changes NASCAR has made. The result is poor racing and lower viewership. He tells us things very few other drivers tell us. Dale Jr. is the only other owner/former Cup driver who tells is as it is. NASCAR needs to listen and take action before more fans give up on NASCAR racing. Denny is right when he says the cream will rise to the top. Right now anyone can win, and NASCAR may like that because the also rans and never weres can win. I want to see the racing put back into the hands of the drivers, so driver talent will win races, like it used to be.
Why no mention of his lifelong sponsor fed-ex! Obviously fed -ex is gone! So funny! Screw the sponsors that paid your way for over a decade (Denny Hamlin) smart move ( not) love it! Jordan will put you in his team car! Lol what a joke! Stick to driving! The more you talk the car the worse you drive every week! So sad!
The new Denny Hamlin show! Bashing Nascar podcast! I bet they would love to snuff you out Denny! What a joke, dang whine ass
Bill France Sr would have pulled you in an shut you up many years ago! Way to screw the racing community over! Keep it ! NASCAR is done thanks to drivers like you Denny! Spot on!
Denny Hamlin is an embarrassment to Dirty moo media! Love Dale Jr,but to promote this type of content is another reason Nascar popularity has gone down hill! More every year! Great representation for Nascar! Bring it down
I like watching here rather than just listening. But it's a bit of a bummer that the full episode doesn't come out until today, 4 days after the fact.
Part of the ratings problem is that it's on a cable channel now instead of network tv. It's just a fact of reality that a chunk of the fanbase lives in southern states with higher rates of poverty where paying for a cable package is quite low on the priority list.
HORSEPOWER!!! 950!!!
I feel like eventually nascar will listen and they'll get the horsepower atleast i hope so
Id like to see u fire bubba and put lajoie in the 23
Denny haters: Just feel ashamed of the power they don't have inside when they see a star as bright as denny, so they must dim his light.
Forget Romo Just look at DW.
11 minute intro?????
Change all 3. Larson would absolutely wear yall out Denny.
Horsepower and rear gear, done.
Why was the stupid thing built specifically for road racing ? 🤯 It'd be way better watching y'all race late models on dirt and asphalt with 900 hp.
Bubba is one of if not the most talented driver on the track, but unfortunately his car is junk. Imagine what he could do in the #3
Spot on Denny! Tyres are too durable, especially when heavy cars only have 600bhp and limited rpm.
Easy fix is to ask Goodyear for tyres with a higher fall off that overheat/wear far quicker. The lunacy of a slow, 25th placing car getting lucky on a yellow with 30+ lap tyres and still being able to lead/pull away for a comfortable top 5 is proof of the problem. Watching how hard it was for front runners to overtake an obviously slower car was frustrating, they can hang around for lap after lap after lap…that's IF you can get inside to get them on the brakes!! Starting in back is end of race!
It's an easy fix via tyres (with no increase in costs)
Testing is required for possible BHP raising obviously, with an eye on costs too.
There seems to be a trend among drivers, TV announcers, TV analysts (Dale Jr., Burton) to refer to drivers by their car numbers rather than their names. If you want to grow the sport, bring in new fans (who don't know all car #'s well), bring the sport alive (see MRN)nuse drivers' names. Numbers don't drive the cars, people drive the cars–name the people!!
No actually Debbie downer is more appropriate.
Go Kyle Larson 👏 #5 woo-hoo
The number in his head can probably be seen in aggression
Never been a Hamlin fan, but I appreciate this podcast and the topics you’re willing to discuss. I’m a fan of actually KNOWING what’s going on behind the scenes to fully understand a sport that I enjoy.
NASCAR won’t even be on mainstream TV in a couple years if they continue on this trajectory, this racing is so hilariously bad, they need 800-900hp again or this sport will continue to die a slow death. When a NASCAR cup car has less horsepower than basic OEM sports cars, that does not bring excitement. The entire purpose of NASCAR is to be extremely high powered cars and high speeds. NASCAR management is so incompetent and 100% at fault for the dying fan base and TV ratings. So sad to see it die off.
Ratings are in a slump because there is very little passing. Either your lucky and hit the setup spot on or you are stuck chasing the setup all race mired in the pack. My opinion is racing was better with practice and drivers could adjust the track bar from inside the car. Oh crap that's right….we don't have a track bar now!!! Cars were better back in the day then now.
Nascar has a star driver/drivers issue because no one is allowed to have or express personality. Not that Chase has a personality to begin with.
