NASCAR’s 75th season has been nothing short of exhilarating, with each race filled with action, making it truly special for fans and drivers alike. The tight playoff battle has added an extra layer of excitement as six to seven drivers fiercely compete for the coveted spots.

Under the intense racing conditions, the competition has reached a fever pitch, leading to frequent wrecks and close encounters on the track as drivers aggressively fight for positions. The recent race at Pocono was no exception, and a particular incident involving Denny Hamlin and Kyle Larson stirred controversy.

Critics have raised questions against Denny Hamlin, accusing him of a dirty move wrecking Kyle Larson during the race. This incident has sparked heated debates among fans and experts, with some arguing that such aggressive moves have no place in the sport. On the other hand, Dale Earnhardt Jr has come forward to back Hamlin, considering the incident as a part of racing and its inherent risks.

In the end, the incident has become a focal point of discussions, highlighting the fine line between competitive racing and questionable actions on the track. However, this wasn’t the only attention-grabbing incident in the race. Two more notable incidents at Pocono caught people’s eye.

Absolute chaos brings attention to Denny Hamlin, Joey Logano, and Austin Dillon

The Pocono 400 proved to be an action-packed race, with a total of 11 caution flags waving due to various racing incidents, including wrecks and crashes. One of the notable wrecks was the collision between drivers #5 and #11, and another incident involving Austin Dillon and Tyler Reddick also drew significant attention.

During lap 105, Reddick and Dillion made contact, causing Dillion’s car to hit the wall hard and spin into the grass. The impact completely destroyed his car, leading to Dillion expressing his frustration by throwing his steering wheel and pulling off his gloves in anger. However, the most eye-catching moment occurred when Dillion forcefully threw his helmet toward Reddick’s car.

These incidents garnered considerable interest and became a talking point after the race. Notably, Instagram pages like “NASCAR memes ig” and “the laugh lap” creatively shared a bunch of playful photos mimicking these incidents, adding humor to the situation.

The playful memes quickly caught the attention of fans and received thousands of likes, including appreciation from two truck series drivers, Stephen Mallozzi and Matt DiBenedetto.

“This is exactly what the sport needs. We’re having rivalries, hard racing, no respect racing going for the wins, villians, heros. The sport is growing again, people are paying attention. I hope this keeps up cause with this next gen car we have seen some of the best racing and with things being tweaked and fixed, we’ll head for the top”

The humor in the memes was particularly enjoyable for the fans, especially one where Austin Dillon’s helmet-throwing incident was compared to baseball throwing, prompting the comment, “Austin should’ve stuck to baseball. He’d have a better arm by now”

As Hamlin is fighting for his first Cup title, one fan pointed out and stated, “Just gold every week Larson will win a championship before Hamlin. Oh wait he’ll win a second championship before Hamlin wins 1”
