Denny Hamlin Gives His Two Cents on “Idiot” Dale Earnhardt Jr’s Heated Argument, Involving Him, With Co-Host Mike Davis

As it stands, the tension from the Denny Hamlin-Ross Chastain feud seems to be seeping out far beyond the racetrack, beyond the two of them. Like Dale Earnhardt Jr and Mike Davis’s disagreement in a heated discussion about the same subject on their podcast show.

It was to a point where Earnhardt Jr. phoned in the Door Bumper Clear panel of spotters to clear their views on the Pocono incident between Hamlin and Chastain.

So it was only right that this week, in the recent episode of the Door Bumper Clear podcast on which Denny Hamlin was a guest, he was asked about his thoughts and views on the same.

“I heard the Dale Jr. Download. Well, first of all, I loved his call-in to you. That was the conversation I texted Dale like,  dude, the surprise call-in saying like, ‘Whatddya mean? Did he hit him?’ That was good,” Hamlin described.

The Joe Gibbs Racing driver then disclosed his own take on the subject by saying that he won’t pick a side, that he won’t “distinguish between” the take of Dale Jr. and that of Mike Davis.

However, Hamlin did agree that the JR Motorsports owner seemed to be in a bad mood that day.

“Junior was a little miffed that morning, that afternoon. Boy, when he got asked for examples, he didn’t like that at all,” he said as the entire panel burst out in laughs.

Why did Dale Earnhardt Jr call-in the spotter group at DBC?

In the episode of the Door Bumper Clear podcast after the race at Pocono, spotters TJ Majors, Freddie Kraft, and Brett Griffin had all unanimously agreed that the incident between Denny Hamlin and Ross Chastain was in fact, a racing incident and not retaliation by the JGR driver.

Moreover, the spotters, albeit jokingly, had called their boss “an idiot” for thinking it was an act of revenge by Hamlin.

So Dale Jr. called in and questioned the spotters about their judgment on the incident, and they still stood their ground.

“Man, the man got out and admitted it,” Earnhardt said.

“It was retaliation with a scalpel, not a hammer,” the Hall of Famer described suggested. “That’s a lot for Denny. Believe or not, that’s as hard as Denny goes.”

“Who knew?”
