“This Could Not Be More Untrue” – Denny Hamlin Disagrees as Hate Tweet Calls Him the “Dirtiest” Driver in NASCAR

Denny Hamlin caught a lot of attention in the race at The Clash at the Coliseum recently. No matter what the situation, he always manages to get all the attention of NASCAR fans. But is that attention always in a positive light, not really?

To Hamlin’s fans, it may seem that the man always gets himself into controversies that leave him misunderstood. But the Joe Gibbs Racing driver has found a way to reach out to his fans and explain his side of the story. With Jared Allen, his co-host for a podcast series that started on Dale Jr’s Dirty Mo Media, he covers everything from a driver’s perspective. 

Denny Hamlin defends himself

In the ‘Actions Detrimental with Denny Hamlin’ podcast Allen and Hamlin discussed some mean tweets from NASCAR fans. One of the tweets by a fan that Allen spoke of was, “Well ,there goes that deal I’ll never watch again. Denny Hamlin is one of the dirtiest I’ve seen in 50 years of racing. He acts like it’s never his fault.”

Listening to the tweet, the 23XI Racing owner exclaimed and said, “Oh my gosh! Like this could not be more untrue. Like, I’m posting pictures of me wrecking Chase and getting a pie to the face.” Though the fan feels that Hamlin plays dirty and doesn’t own up, the three-time Daytona 500 winner doesn’t agree. He said, “What are they talking about? I take accountability when I feel like it is my fault. The problem is, it’s usually not my fault. So you know, I’m just trying to be real here. And if you look at the tally of how many times the #11 car gets the bat into the deal, it is way tipped. Not in my favor, we got to level the scale.”

Denny Hamlin knows how to apologize

The incident is from when Hendrick Motorsports driver William Byron spun Denny Hamlin with the caution flag out. This led to some harsh reactions from Hamlin in the race at Texas Motor Speedway. Hamlin was livid and confronted Byron, not with sweet words. He then got to know exactly what had happened during the race. In a recent podcast, Hamlin revealed that he confronted & abused Hendrick Motorsports Driver, but also apologized to him post the revelation.
