Actions Detrimental with Denny Hamlin

Denny dominated the regular season, but the championship slipped away once the Chase started. He gets honest about where it went wrong for the No. 11 team and how Kyle Larson and the No. 5 team got the job done on execution.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. joins Denny Hamlin to break down a busy weekend at Martinsville and everything that’s coming down to the wire as NASCAR heads to Homestead. The guys get into the Truck and O’Reilly Series races, the championship picture and why stage points have become such a big part of the conversation.

Kyle Larson left Talladega with a 73-point lead and two races to go, and Denny Hamlin is pretty honest about what that means for his championship chances.

Denny Hamlin, Jared, and Travis break down a frustrating day at Phoenix with just three races left in the Chase. From Tyler Reddick’s win and Toyota clinching the manufacturer’s championship to a flat tire that derailed Denny’s race, the guys cover everything that went down.

Charlotte had plenty of drama, and Denny Hamlin has a lot to say about it. He breaks down what went wrong late in the race, why track position was so important, and how changing track conditions affected his car. He also shares his thoughts on competition cautions and stage lengths, including what NASCAR could do to improve the racing.

Las Vegas: "We Took Our Eye Off The Ball"

With six races left and Denny sitting 26 points back, he explains why he's not panicking. Nobody keeps putting up a 2-point average finish forever, and one bad pit stop, restart or wreck can change the whole picture. Denny, Travis and Jared get into it over who's actually still alive in the Chase, where the cutoff really is, and whether Vegas, Charlotte, Phoenix, Talladega, Martinsville and Homestead give Denny enough time to make a run.

Ryan Blaney doesn't really fight. He'll lose his mind on the radio, climb out of the car, and be completely calm two seconds later. So, when he handed his phone to a crew member, said "hold this," and walked across pit road toward Carson Hocevar after Bristol, everyone was caught off guard. Blaney included.

It was a tough week at the track for Denny, but you'd never guess it from where he sits in the standings. Gateway put a lot on him, and the conditions certainly didn't make it any easier. He talks about just how much the heat and humidity took out of him during the race, including some of the physical struggles he dealt with behind the wheel.

Denny Hamlin had the best car he had all day in Darlington at the end of stage 2. Thirty minutes later, his night was over.

Denny breaks down the timing discrepancy he believes affected the official scoring. He pulls up his own in-car footage showing a green light on track when NASCAR’s timestamp says the caution had already come out, and explains why he believes there’s a sync issue between the trackside lights, NASCAR’s data, and what shows up on the TV broadcast.
