“They Suck” – Denny Hamlin Calls Out Bubba Wallace and Tyler Reddick’s Awkward Baseball Adventure

In an entertaining turn of events before the Chicago Street Cup, 23XI Racing was invited to attend a Chicago Cubs game. Given their team owner’s esteemed legacy in Chicago, the inaugural race at the Windy City held a pivotal position for the drivers of 23XI Racing. Denny Hamlin and fellow drivers, Bubba Wallace and Tyler Reddick, joined in the pre-game festivities.

Michael Jordan, who had won six championships for the Chicago Bulls, is revered in the city.

But the renowned NASCAR drivers’ performance at pre-game festivities left Hamlin utterly stunned.

The pre-game festivities: 23XI Racing at a Chicago Cubs game

Wallace took the prominent role of throwing out the ceremonial first pitch. Reddick recognized the challenge of catching it, donning catcher’s apparel with an air of apprehension. Making the event more unique, Kurt, another racing team member, voluntarily officiated the game as the umpire.

“People looked at me when they were singing the 7th inning stretch. I mean, everyone’s. As soon as he finished, everyone just kind of awkwardly looked and it’s just like, they suck. I mean, they stunk.“ Denny chuckled on his podcast. 

When Wallace stepped up, eager yet apprehensive, he attempted to hurl the ball over the plate, albeit unsuccessfully on his first try. Hamlin and the others in attendance humorously ribbed Wallace. Suggesting that heroes get remembered, but the legends never die.

Reddick seemed to sense the pressure of the occasion but skillfully maintained his composure in the catcher’s role. Kurt, however, welcomed his moment in the sun, noisily promoting the baseball ceremony with a sense of familiarity and unbridled authority.
