Clearly, in Denny Hamlin’s case, he is backed against the wall with a lot of reactions going against him. Recently, Steven Taranto questioned Wallace if his boss’s attempt to show personality has backfired for him. To this, he answered, “It’s the line of showing personality getting misconstrued, going on air and saying admittedly wreck somebody I don’t know, if it’s a personality.”

While it was unclear in the above statement what he was thinking, he clarified his stance. Wallace said, “I wouldn’t label it as that. [But] Everybody’s unique right? They have their own ways of going about things and handling different situations, everybody’s different, so I like to be different.” While the 23XI Racing driver opted to be diplomatic, his spotter had a different point of view.
