Previously, Kenny Wallace highlighted the growing issue of increased booing directed at Denny Hamlin this year. He even issued a stern warning to Hamlin’s detractors and managed to silence them with one sentence. However, Denny Hamlin found himself in hot water again when he blamed his team for a loose wheel incident in the last race. In response, his crew chief denied any such problems.

This led some fans to raise their eyebrows, feeling that Hamlin tends to make excuses and avoid taking responsibility for his mistakes. In fact, even after winning his Xfinity race on his first attempt of the year, it didn’t escape the disapproval of some fans, resulting in more boos.

Following these incidents, Denny Hamlin demonstrated his racing prowess and secured an impressive P2 finish at Kansas Speedway. Kenny Wallace once again stepped forward to defend Hamlin and issued a warning to those who criticized him.

So, if he hears you as he’s good at ignoring you. If Denny Hamlin heard or you, he’s good at ignoring you. Somebody said, ‘He sees what I say,” Well, that’s fine. But it’s not affecting him.”
