Denny Hamlin has never really been in the good books of NASCAR. He has repeatedly criticized the governing body for its way of functioning, but this time around he’s caught being guilty.

The fine came following his comments pertaining to the late-race incident between him and Ross Chastain at Phoenix Raceway. Interestingly, this comes just after Corey LaJoie warns him of his actions.
