Talking about Joey Logano’s “off night,” Hamlin, in the latest episode of his ‘Actions Detrimental’ podcast, stated, “He got caught up in some incidents. But even when he got back there where I was, he passed back pretty quick and I saw him making moves back towards the front.”

Accusing Josh Berry, the substitute driver for #9, for his misfortunes, Hamlin added, “But again, sometimes in dirt racing you get caught up in other people’s incidents. That’s how I got my front nose taken off as Josh Berry spun out right in front of me and I got knocked from behind into it.”
