Most fans are hugely disappointed and furious about NASCAR’s decision. So, what exactly is causing the massive uproar?

As it turns out, Denny Hamlin came out as too honest while talking about what happened in Phoenix in his popular Action Detrimental podcast. And in a rather unbelievable turn of events, NASCAR has actually fined the 42-year-old $50,000 and shaved off 25 driver points from him.

Following the race in Phoenix where Denny had pushed his old foe Ross Chastain to the wall, he has come out openly admitting what he had done was intentional.

In the podcast, Denny says, “I did, I wouldn’t mistake, wouldn’t mistake, I, I unleashed, I let the wheel go and I said he’s coming with me.”
