Denny Hamlin finds himself in the spotlight once again, but this time not solely for his long-awaited 50th Cup victory. His recent controversial move on Kyle Larson at the Pocono Speedway has stirred up intense discussions among NASCAR enthusiasts. While some are critical of the Joe Gibbs Racing driver’s actions, others, including Dale Earnhardt Jr, see it as a part of hard racing and a determined fight for victory.

The aftermath of the incident has ignited a heated debate within the NASCAR community. Bubba Wallace’s spotter, Freddie Kraft’s venture, further fueled the fire with a tweet that divided opinions even more, leaving fans divided over their perspectives on the matter.

Freddie Kraft’s venture stirs the pot further with a simple yet powerful tweet

Well, Denny Hamlin‘s actions have been criticized multiple times. Who can forget his previous win at Kansas where Larson got somewhat similar treatment, and Phoenix, where the #11 driver deliberately wrecked his old nemesis, Ross Chastain?  In light of this, his relationship with his team has also faced scrutiny. Unfortunately, history seemed to repeat itself as Kyle Larson, this time from Hendrick Motorsports, again fell victim to a somewhat similar wreck caused by Hamlin.

As the debate surrounding Denny Hamlin’s “Dirty Move” rages on, Freddie Kraft’s venture ‘Couch Racer’ took to Twitter to ask,

“Why do you dislike Denny Hamlin so much. Speak the truth.” To say the very least, the response from fans was quite entertaining, as many jumped on the hate-bandwagon.

Many fans grabbed the opportunity to express their feelings and emotions in the comment section. With strong opinions coming from both sides, it seems unlikely that the debate will settle anytime soon. Hence, this leaves fans and experts engaged in a spirited dialogue over.

Another referred to the incident with both HMS drivers and stated, “They dislike him because they don’t realize-and TV conveniently often fails to show-how many passes the 5 and 9 make by pinching other cars against the wall”

“One word: Hypocrite”

“He’s a hypocrite.”

“I think Larson put it best. “Denny’s always right.”

“Because Denny Hamlin likes Denny Hamlin too much”

“Bold face lying to the crowd, “there was no contact””

On the other hand, there were fans who supported Denny for his attitude and perceived him as the “bad guy” in NASCAR, one fan said, “I love em, and I love his attitude, gotta love the bad guy…the bad guy in #NASCAR is a must have it was Kyle now it appears to be Denny”
