“Probably an Upset” – Denny Hamlin Expresses Uncertainty Towards Michael Jordan’s Only Apparent Playoff Hope

As the playoffs heat up, the rising star of Michael Jordan has emerged from the asphalt battleground. Tyler Reddick, the underdog with the heart of a champion, stands ninth in the standings. He’s not just chasing glory; he’s chasing Brad Keselowski, who sits two points ahead in eighth place. The odds? Well, they favor Reddick, the road course wizard, more than anyone would’ve imagined.

You might wonder why. Three of Reddick’s five career wins have danced to the tune of road courses, making him a genuine contender. With two top-10 finishes in three starts at the Roval, this circuit is more than just a racetrack for him. It’s a canvas for his artistry. No wonder he’s the No. 3 favorite, trailing only behind Hendrick Motorsports’ stars, Chase Elliott and William Byron. However, his team owner is still worried. 

Denny Hamlin expresses uncertainty for his own team 

In a recent episode of the ‘Actions Detrimental’ podcast featuring Denny Hamlin and co-host Jared Allen, Hamlin expressed uncertainty and some doubt regarding the playoff prospects of Tyler Reddick, the only apparent Playoff hope, for Michael Jordan, as Wallace finds himself in P12 with 26 points between him and the cutoff line. 

Jared asked Hamlin who he felt confident about the playoffs, mentioning Tyler Reddick’s strong performance. Hamlin’s response was intriguing.

The response from the partner of Michael Jordan was somewhat hesitant. He said, “I guess Reddick. I guess but I mean even I don’t know since COTA. They’ve been… I guess Chicago they were they were in position to win Chicago probably what should have won Chicago.” 

“He drove it out of the barriers. I don’t know. I mean he I would say for the field they’re most worried about Reddick overtaking now if he took over took Keselowski, that’s probably an upset right.” 

When discussing who might make it to the final eight in the playoffs, Hamlin noted that many people would likely include Keselowski due to his team’s strong performance in the second half of the year. However, he remained uncertain about the outcome, emphasizing the unpredictable nature of NASCAR racing.
