“No Different Than Our Government” – Fans Back Denny Hamlin as He Exposes NASCAR’s Dirty Tactics

The world of NASCAR racing is filled with countless statistics. While some are intriguing, others are best left unshared. Recently, NASCAR divulged an odd stat, eliciting a quick-witted response from Joe Gibbs Racing driver, Denny Hamlin, on Twitter.

Fans were quick to join Hamlin’s bandwagon, playfully mocking NASCAR for their peculiar tweet.

As per the tweet released by NASCAR, they mentioned that last weekend’s race at Talladega Superspeedway saw a total of 308 green flag passes for the lead. Interestingly, they also pointed out that the number was apparently the highest ever recorded.

Soon after, Denny Hamlin could not keep himself from mocking NASCAR for the tweet. This comes after Hamlin exposed NASCAR’s 19-Year-Old trick. He tweeted, “Great news for those who attended at Talladega. They witnessed 15,033 green flag passes (inverted smiley face emoji).“

In case you are not familiar with the term, it is a Green Flag Pass when a car gets ahead of another car on the track — whether the car being passed is on the same lap.

It wasn’t long before fans rallied behind the experienced racer, joining in on the mockery on social media. Numerous individuals also criticized the organization, accusing them of engaging in underhanded tactics to further their own agenda.

Fans even suggested that NASCAR should invest more in its communications team and focus on delivering content that not only engages fans but also addresses their concerns and celebrates the sport’s accomplishments.

One fan commented, “I swear NASCAR be posting this just to piss you off.” Another chimed in, saying, “What was Marty Robbins out there or something?”

Additionally, a frustrated fan remarked, “This is such a horrible stat that NASCAR has decided to push as proving quality racing.”

The skepticism continued, with another fan asserting, “What a joke. It’s no different than our government, twist the data until it matches your agenda. We all know what we seen.”

A more lighthearted response came from a fan who quipped, “I must have missed about 15K of those when I had to take my kids to the restroom.”

While the tweet was peculiar, the statistic itself still held a certain level of intrigue. There were undoubtedly more impressive stats that could have been shared. However, it appears that NASCAR may have been struggling to find compelling content for its fanbase. Alternatively, they might have opted to use such filler content as a distraction from current issues surrounding the racing package and overall racing quality.

However, all of this is mere conjecture, and the true motive behind NASCAR’s decision to share this particular stat remains a mystery. It was certainly an odd piece of information to share, and it might have been in the organization’s best interest to avoid posting it in the first place.
