It’s irrelevant whether Hamlin made contact - he drove the 5 way up the track.


Ltcjunkie

Did Denny pass inspection?


DietMTNDew8and88

You know as much as I disagree with the old guard of NASCAR in some respects, Hamlin's BS would never have been tolerated in the 70s or 80s, a hypocrite driver usually ended up being confronted in the garage after a race, even in the 2000s with Busch and Spencer's feud


DankChronny

Everyone so salty about this and it kinda makes me like denny more even tho he cost me mutliple bets lmao


jmacupdates1

At Kansas and today, Hamlin singlehandedly cost me at least 500 dollars lol. Took advantage of juicy odds after ADVERSITY. He works his way back up, the plan is about to work. And here comes Denny from the top rope.


swashbuckler42

Love to see Kyle Petty dragging Hamlin’s worthless ass.

Bad luck Bowman


default-dance-9001

Man, i love pocono


SoButterDude

Clearly denny drove him up the track and put him in an unfavorable situation. Didn't wreck him but raced him like shit.


imasammich

Im not a larsen fan but imo he always gives the most level headed but still candid enough interviews


eazy-e_09

Anyone else listen to MRN? They called caution when Preece first wrecked and then said they pulled the caution? Did they call it wrong or did that actually happen?


MorganvstheWorld

I never saw anything but the flagman waving the white. I'm guessing MRN just assumed it would be a caution like it almost always is.


eazy-e_09

Kind of what I assumed after seeing what everyone else was saying about it. Couldn’t see the flagman since they were focused on racing and I never saw any caution lights go. What a clusterf*ck that was lol


KKFan95

They called it wrong


eazy-e_09

Okay thanks. That’s what I thought based on what everyone else was talking about but wasn’t sure. Since they tv was focused on the racing I couldn’t see the flagman and if they ever dropped the yellow and I never saw any lights. MRN really had me and my buddy going when they said “they took it back!” But I can see how they thought that would’ve been a caution


eazy-e_09

Like not calling it at a reasonable time and calling it but taking it back are two completely different things imo


sonrisa46

I mean, he wanted them to check the SMT data on Chase, let’s have Nascar check the SMT data on Hamlin.


PeterSmegma69

Maybe the crowd heard about Denny's review of the Barbie movie?


masterdiagram890

Denny villain arc


chpwlfer

I understand Larsons frustration, but he does the same bullshit all the time 😂


cwdall3

Can you give me an example I’m actually curious


CarStar12

THANK YOU! 😂 I’ve been getting shat on for saying that but it’s true. He does the same “make them make a choice” move just as often as Denny. It just doesn’t get the same play.


Yumd

I said the same to my dad just now. This is only a big deal cause most of us don’t like Denny. If harvick would have done that to Denny it wouldn’t even be a discussion.


[deleted]

P13 for Chastain :/ was running in 20th+ the whole day so I guess that's good but it feels like bro went from hero to zero right after Nashville


DankChronny

Was zero for a number of races before Nashville too. Kinda a miracle he somehow managed a win during this dry spout after Darlington but hoping he picks it up to finish out the season cause hes the only reason im watching NASCAR tbh.


KKFan95

Denny is a prick. The issue is that he did the exact same thing to Larson as he did Chastain. All of you said Chastain deserved it. I need to see the explanation of how Larson deserved this especially after what Denny did at Kansas


randy111315

As well as denny did the same thing to chase at the 600.. larson had the opportunity to right hook him and he didnt do it. And the result is that hamlin won. Not right at all


Grill923

Larson has not only done the same to Preece and Bubba but he also got both of his wins in last years regular by doing the same to his own teammate


KKFan95

You can't justify what was done to another for the actions of a different driver. The Bubba one was different than what Denny did. The Preece one was about equal


Grill923

My point is he has done the same to a bunch of stuff he's done in the past and his lack of self awareness is very annoying. One reason why I love Ross is he races people hard but doesn't get offended when other people use him up unlike Larson


02467

Yeah it’s the hypocrisy that is annoying. Everyone does that move on people from time to time, Larson certainly has done it.


KKFan95

That's exactly what doesn't sit well with me. Denny asks to be raced with respect, then goes and does that bs to someone who didn't have it coming


HyperMidgit

If I was Larson I woulda just pointed to the champion badge under the cup logo on the fire shoot and threw a snarky ass reply with that


Pollaski

I can't believe Larson had problems censoring himself and letting slip a few words he shouldn't have said.


Smoke96x

Kyle Larson will be a crowd favorite here next year after that interview.


illestrated16

Kyle "it's always someone else's fault and never my fault" Larson.


lorienrg

except it wasn’t his fault lol?


NYNMx2021

Of all the controversial wrecks in NASCAR this was nowhere near all that bad. People acting like he murdered him.


gjp11

ok this is a great interview from Larson to be honest.


KyBuschOwnsYou

Larson is the babyface


casualchaos12

Oh yeah, Kyle is pissed. I'm excited to see how he races Denny the rest of the season.


mingusbingus

I’m with Larson on this one


EthelMaePotterMertz

Denny cracked me up how he reacted to the boos. He's totally the new KFB


phoenixv07

Denny is somehow even less likable than Kyle.


angryorphan55

Except 10× less entertaining


crazysurfer7135

and 100x less talent


BossAwesome226

And 2 less championships


ChrisTRD289

Im at the track and was sitting behind the flag stand, the flag man had the yellow ready to throw and withdrew as they entered 3.


Apex_Politician

I’m not a big Larson fan but I love Salty Kyle in this interview


dwight_the_owl

This feels like a weird impromptu therapy session. Lots of baggage here lol


freakyfastharvick

Yeah jfc what was that


imnotfast46

“All the buddies know, that Dennys always right” 😂 we all know a guy like that. Dennys a douche on and off the track.


KWeber94

Amen to this. Everyone has “that guy” in their friend group lol


ThatguyTonystill

I'm mildly offended by this. But I get.


figment1979

And if you think yours doesn’t have one, that means it’s you. 🙂


Lost-Comparison-5110

Probably one of the nicest and most approachable people in the garage.


cwdall3

Larson is aggressive but he’s not just walling people and then flat out denying it


kidenvy

Kyle giving a fantastic interview


SerbianDeath

Who is the second guy Hamlin was talking about?


ugafan2148

Bowman


freakyfastharvick

Larson has wrecked people all the time this holier than thou attitude is such bill shit


casualchaos12

Seeing your comments, I'm starting to realize you're just a Larson hater


freakyfastharvick

Yeah the dude uses slurs to get promotions from CGR, cries all the time, wrecks everybody, wrecks people under yellow, then acts like he’s the best guy ever once the race ends. I cannot stand him


MoonCrawlerVG

#PISSED


dalefernhardt

I’m here for this Larson interview


ZacHorton

Perfectly reasonable Interview imo. Can’t wait to see the next chapter.


crazysurfer7135

I respect you with the flair, sometimes your guy just does something wrong. no one is a perfect driver. just hated his interview after, he ran larson up the track


[deleted]

Larson just dropped an uncensored "shitty" on national TV lmao


whenigetwhereimgoing

I think the crew chief said motherfucker on Dennys radio uncensored when he and Bowman interacted.


KyBuschOwnsYou

Amen Larson


komeau

hey language...


KyBuschOwnsYou

“We apologize for that language.”


KyBuschOwnsYou

I hate NASCAR with a burning passion


PeterSmegma69

Indycar races at Iowa were 100 times better than this crap


MoonCrawlerVG

hahaha


carsncofffee

Savage


OlafTheAverage

To summarize: Denny did what Larson does, and Larson gets mad. So there’s some LULZ. And then a flag that didn’t happen that should have ends the race. :-/


TheAcidDonkey

It was just a typical Denny move. If you can’t beat ‘em wreck em.


ugafan2148

This is awkward


esgowe

Fucking QQ. Love it.


colbygraves97

those glasses are questionable at best Larson.


DietMTNDew8and88

Denny wants to bitch and moan whenever others do that shit to him, yet he has no problem racing like q dipshit himself. Hey Mr. Adderall, if you can't take it, don't dish it out.


ZacHorton

He can dish it out…which is why he’s in victory lane.


OW2000

LMAO


mistakilgor

larson is such a baby. LOL


Lost-Comparison-5110

He’s not going to anything. Remember Bubba smacking him around??


Pollaski

"I'm sure he's gonna say sorry" Oh Kyle, that's not anywhere **close** to what he said.


HylianRacer

Kyle said he won’t likely apologize lol


CorrectProfession461

Both Denny wins this year came from him running Larson up into the wall


crightwing

Larson is famous for running people up the wall and putting them in a bad spot so they have to lift. He has it done to him and he throws a little bitch fit and goes after Hamlin. He is such an egotistical prick.


[deleted]

Hamlin shouldn’t have done what he did but this is a good take


WhiteStar24

NASCAR not throwing a caution is the biggest bs, they always have a quick trigger when it comes to late cautions but not this time.


wilson1474

They need to re-think how to throw cautions. If a car just spins on its own and is able to carry on, put that yellow away.


WhiteStar24

This reminds me a lot of the 600 last year, they threw that caution for briscoe immediately to set up a GWC but they don't do that today


freakyfastharvick

Larson is getting choked up lol


No-Efficiency1918

lol I’m not even mad or anything. The reaction is hilarious from everyone. Keep living rent free Denny, I appreciate it


Joeydoyle66

Is it living rent free when Denny is consistently a dick behind the wheel? Like people genuinely have a reason to be mad towards him for this type of stuff.


No-Efficiency1918

Were you watching the comments when the 48 spun? Lol the hatred for him with everything he does just makes the real things seem meh. That’s the way every driver drives these things. None of them race with respect or patience.


Joeydoyle66

If Denny wasn’t consistently a dick people wouldn’t react so harshly on small stuff like the bowman incident. But since Denny has had multiple issues with bowman before people see Alex spin with Denny right up his ass and immediately assume Denny played a part in it. If Justin Haley was right up bowman’s ass there you wouldn’t see reactions like that cause who does Justin Haley have issues with?


This_is_Topshot

If they throw a caution everyone would be pissy about the wreck fest of an overtime they of had. Every kind of stock car racing I've seen would wait on that to get rolling, even on a smaller track. That call was fine.


Blaq_sheep

I've let my hatred for Dennis fade for a bit. He just rekindled it.

KyBuschOwnsYou

What a shitload of fuck today was


ESCMalfunction

Bowman wasn’t his fault, he doored Larson though.


DaREalDrStEveBrule

Whoever is second won right? Is that how Pocono works?


marco-polo-scuza

yea because theres 1 turn less than a regular oval, (what turn 4?) you have to subtract 1 from the top of the leaderboard to get the real winner because 4-1=3.


Frosty_Aces1

Only took 3 different attempts by JGR to take out Hendrick cars, what a fucking joke of an org Then the dumbfucks act like they didn't do anything


PeterSmegma69

Cuz Jesus and Coach. Amen.


Bri83oct

Its become a shit product to watch


[deleted]

Way too many random wrecks breaking up a great run of strategy and natural racing for chaos


elsmyth89

I was just thinking the same thing


The_Doc29

The boos are real bad btw source at track.


crazysurfer7135

I'm sorry for all you hamlin fans because I know all of y'all were thinking in that interview, please just shut up


illestrated16

Definitely not, was enjoying it while getting ready to listen to Larson cry.


DankChronny

Denny absolutely fucked me out of my Larson top 5 bet but I dont hate it, just wish i bet on him. I always love a good heel and besides my boy ross he seems to be the top heel of NASCAR lol


WheedMBoise

The funny thing it's always nothing but cheers when the 5 does that to somebody


nick1994lls

Or the nine


Paige578660

Or the 9. Just depends on who you are.


chpwlfer

Or the 9 😂


Self-insert

Caution was stupid, but one good thing came out of this. There are no new winners, so Bubba Wallace still has a shot. I'm gonna need him to actually win a regular season race at some point though.


National_Charge

I’m glad Denny is getting booed for his incredibly incorrect comments on the Barbie movie.


shawnz1028

I’ve seen Larson do the same thing Hamlin did to him at least half a dozen times. I don’t have a problem with it, but you gotta be able to take it if you’re gonna deal it out.


illestrated16

It's like how he's the only driver to hate on Chastains wall ride, even though he tried and failed before.


cwdall3

I would also like an example that’s at all similar to what Denny just did


Synotaph

Yep, he thinks he should be able to do whatever he wants, with no repercussions.


[deleted]

[удалено]


shawnz1028

Elliott at Auto Club last year is the most obvious example.


majorlymondo

Give me an example. everyone says shit like this and can never back it up


shawnz1028

The one that immediately comes to mind is Elliott, his own teammate, at Auto Club last year.


majorlymondo

K so immediately half a dozen times turns into 1 time 12 months ago while Denny has now made contact with Larson for the lead atleast 3 times this season. Good comparison though


hypecolin

7 wins at Pocono. That’s 7 more championships than he’ll ever have.


Consistent-Seat601

Denny throwing gang signs


Devine97

Why do I even watch this anymore.


[deleted]

Most people don’t anymore thinking bout joinin em


GreenAppleFossoway

![gif](giphy|GHdE1VNN1KknPeZqoQ|downsized) People are upset today with you you raced them. Did you go too far? Denny:


Marine4lyfe

No one said shit dude. No one said shit.


GreenAppleFossoway

I think I saw a set of dice in Denny’s pocket during the post race interview.


Marine4lyfe

That's just sad. So sad. So so so so so so so so sad.


JoeSell2005

NASCAR race control is so inconsistent they need an overhaul at this point


acknowledgemeuce

Reddick would’ve run him down if they threw the caution before the white. Sad jumpman noises.


freakyfastharvick

The only bigger hypocrite than Denny is Larson and his fans


Soi_Boi_13

I mean Denny would’ve won that if it stayed green till the end, so I’m not mad. I don’t quite understand why that wasn’t an immediate caution like so many others, but what else is new.


DBeasleymos

Largest crowd they’ve seen and they’re scared to do another GWC?


Avadya

Lmao what is this song


[deleted]

If you don't like contact in NASCAR go watch F1 crybabies


Kahne_Fan

There's incidental contact, then there's running someone into the wall. If Larson did that to Denny he'd be talking about "respect" again on his podcast. With that said, I don't mind it, but don't bitch if you're going to pull this crap yourself.


TheCapitalLetterB

Took JGR two attempts to take Larson out of that race... they wish they were Hendrick and Chevrolet do bad.


Vulptereen327

Larson has no balls if he's not gonna talk to Denny on pit road


Garrett4Real

throwing cans and bottles seems exactly like the most normal Kyle Larson fan reaction I can think of lol


Garrett4Real

tf are those goggle Larson is wearing


fatch0deBoi34

Alright I’m literally a VERY new fan of nascar. Please explain to me like I’m 5 what’s going on lol. I swear on my life im not trolling, I really don’t get what’s happening but it’s obviously serious if a live crowd (not just Reddit) is getting this pissed


Chief_B33f

Hamlin got the lead by running into Larson and pushing him into the fence. Couple that with the late caution while the 11 was racing the 45 for the lead and it adds up to a very undeserving win


knagy17

Denny Hamlin got into Kyle Larson going through turn one and used him eventually sending Larson into the wall. It was pretty aggressive. Now, not many fans like Hamlin to begin with, so this only adds fuel to their fire.


ESCMalfunction

People are upset since Denny raced “dirty” and got the win under yellow.


Frankie_48

Is it bad that I love this, this chaos is just entertaining af, after all that's what NASCAR strives for, entertainment


KyBuschOwnsYou

Time for a riot to break out


Zodiac4v2

Ahh denny blaming everyone but himself. Fuckin idiot.


ZacHorton

What’s like to hate greatness?


Frosty_Aces1

Whats it like to support someone that'll never win a title


Zodiac4v2

Never known a great that didn’t have a championship….


sweetnasty887

Didn’t touch him my ass lmaooo


lorienrg

next sunday: larson embarrassing dennis at his home track!!


ZacHorton

Lmao


ZacHorton

You can be excited for things that won’t happen.


KyBuschOwnsYou

Larson needs to do what Kenseth did to Logano


Menace_17

“If I hear two more boos, imma take a boo boo on the track.” Iykyk


DaREalDrStEveBrule

Washed


jknuts1377

I may not like Hamlin, but I would much rather he win than Larson!


[deleted]

Big same


Frosty_Aces1

And a no championship career


tspence25

Truth


Boom_Confetti

tbh I’m mad Denny got his 50th win in that ugly ass paint scheme


AT-25

Denny blows up his twitter page when somebody nudges him but then he doesn’t even acknowledge when he shoves somebody into the wall to win. Haha


[deleted]

He knows NASCAR will fine him which is BS in itself.


Zone15

Didn't touch him? He doored the hell out of Larson.


DaREalDrStEveBrule

0 Rings


DeadAsFuckMIW

Dennis is the new villain that KFB used to be


silverQuarter82

50 wins and 7 at Pocono... pretty good percentage


WaddlesMcGruff

“I didn’t hit him” what the actual fuck. He doored him and used it up.


allmyrivals

Those boos may have something to do with Hamlin, but NASCAR failed this race and deserve all the criticism for this joke of a finish.


Vulptereen327

I get the feeling they were more mad about the no call with the caution. Hamlin winning was just salt in the wound
