Brett Griffin came on Dale Earnhardt Jr.‘s Door Bumper Clear Podcast, where he spoke about how different people in NASCAR react when someone expresses their feelings, especially compared to other sports. He said, “It’s so much different in our sport. Because, if you’re the quarterback, you say it in the huddle; nobody gets offended. And, if you’re the coach of the baseball, and you go out to the mound, you bring the infield in and talk to everybody, nobody gets offended and butthurt. But in our sport, I’m telling you that whole pit box gets butt hurt.”
