Denny Hamlin wrath about “absolute trash”, Nascar showed ridiculous ways
Martinsville Speedway witnessed a chaotic scene when the checkered flag fluttered. The ruins scattered on the track, while Austin Hill could not believe his luck. Richard Children Racing’s riders are in six seconds just a few seconds before the race ends, but some miraculously, he won the US Marine Corps 250 race in the most strange circumstances. This situation once again highlighted Nascar’s long -term issues, and Denny Hamlin was not satisfied with that.
Still frank as usual, Joe Gibbs Racing’s veteran did not hesitate to share his thoughts on social networks. He could not criticize Nascar’s tolerance when accepting such results in the race and called on management agencies to take more stringent measures to prevent such situations from happening again.
Denny Hamlin is uncomfortable because of the last accidents in MartinSville
The shares are very high and the tension is even higher in the final race at MartinSville Speedway. Taylor Gray is desperately rushing to the finish line, with Sammy Smith sticking behind, hoping to win. “Half Mile of Mayhem” is really worthy of its name when Smith’s No. 8 Chevy collided on the left side of the Toyota No. 54 of Gray, causing Joe Gibbs Racing’s racer to turn the outer wall. Smith, who is playing for Jr Motorsports, is not easy, because of the impact that makes him lose control of his car and collide with Justin Allgaier.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Austin Hill escaped in the last bend to win, while a continuous accident happened shortly thereafter. Denny Hamlin was angry because the race ended and wrote on X, “absolute trash.” The 44 -year -old continued to say, “I wish I was in the cabin. I would be fired but I would definitely call these idiots.” In response to the post of Dale Earnhardt Jr. On X, the content “This track is historical in the overall diagram of all the Nascar things and deserves better,” Hamlin wrote, “just one penalty and it will prevent this. In the short term, it must be sent a message.”
Denny Hamlin’s disappointment is understandable. For the benefit of entertainment and the participation of the audience, Nascar ignored the chaotic ending for a long time. Taylor Gray, who has led 87 races until the last bend, will feel robbed after the incident with Sammy Smith. He deserves a better result than the 29th position, a love that his veteran teammate at Joe Gibbs Racing seems to agree. The ending like this not only asks questions about safety standards but also doubt the integrity of this sport.
Gray, obviously annoyed by Sammy Smith, said that in the after -race interview, “I was a bit uncomfortable when he first stabbed me, just because I felt like I didn’t scratch him for the whole year. He might race with me a little better.” In response, the driver of Jr Motorsports said, “I mean, completely, that’s too much. I mean, yes, I am not proud of that, but I mean, if the role is reversed, he will do the same thing.”
Jesse Love, who was stabbed at less than 40 races, lamented the race at Martinsville, said, “That’s why I don’t like to come here all the time.” These comments are the continuation of his comments since 2024 after the Martinsville playoff race was involved in a series of warnings, and Love said, “That’s typical, what do you expect? We come here and organize a Mickey Mouse race to reach the fourth final.”
Obviously, this is not the first time Nascar has been blamed for taking accidents seriously. In the Xfinity Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway earlier this year, the management agency did not issue a warning in the final round, although many cars were in an accident, only for the leading cars to race to the destination. Nascar’s senior vice president, Elton Sawyer, acknowledged that the decision was wrong, saying, “it was us. If a situation happened like last night would be a warning.” However, it seems that this organization has not learned from its mistakes.
MartinSville has a history of drama and controversy
It is not just another short track. It was a stage that witnessed a lot of explosions, feuds and comprehensive scuffle took place. The narrow bends and close actions are the formula for dramatic and have many unforgettable moments from the track over the years. One of the most explosive incidents happened in Truck Series in 2013, when Kevin Harvick was fighting hard with Dillon, with Richard Childre’s nephew, pushing and even trying to spin the 14 Chevy.
Ty Dillon hooked Harvick’s truck in Turn 1, causing a warning. To retaliate, the 2014 Series Cup champion deliberately parked in Dillon’s Pit pit to block him. What happened after that was a complete chaos, when one of the members of the Dillon team threw a barbell hammer at Harvick’s truck. That’s right, you read it correctly! Obviously angry, Kevin Harvick later said that it was “exactly why I left RCR.” And who can blame him?
Another incident occurred between Denny Hamlin and Joey Logano at Xfinity 500 in 2019. Joe Gibbs Racing’s driver stabbed Logano, pinned him into the wall. Both riders see each other in the pit lane, and before you know that, a comprehensive scuffle took place. It started with Logano pushing Hamlin, leaving the team members from both teams. Mocking his opponent, Hamlin could not help but say, “He was scared.” It was MartinSville Speedway, where every argument could become an individual in the blink of an eye.
