Denny Hamlin Branded a “Professional Crybaby” for “Insufferable” Remark Against Hendrick Motorsports Star’s $75,000 Penalty

Following the announcement of William Byron’s penalties due to his actions on track which saw him spinning Denny Hamlin under caution, journalists asked Hamlin if he was satisfied that NASCAR decided to take an action against Byron. Well, Hamlin had an expected response.

Hamlin replied, “Yeah, sorta. It didn’t help my finish I saw a lot of people react to well he could have made up those spots, well it didn’t change the fact that I could have won the race instead I finished 10th so you gotta account for those points in there as well.”

The Hendrick Motorsports driver had nudged Hamlin a little too hard, right as the caution flags fell, as a form of retaliation for Denny’s actions against him a few laps prior. Byron was later awarded a $50,000 fine and a 25-points duck, for his on-track antics against the JGR driver.
