Honesty, while it’s appreciated, can sometimes have counterproductive consequences. Just ask Denny Hamlin after he confessed to intentionally wrecking Ross Chastain in Phoenix. This confession by the veteran led to a lot of NASCAR fans demanding a penalty against him.
“Thinking about this whole Denny Hamlin deal where he admitted that he took Ross Chastain with him into the wall. Some people going, ‘We need a penalty!’ I’m thinking to myself, ‘How many times did the great Dale Sr had been penalized?' People been wrecking people for years people. You want entertainment? Let it be. It didn’t cause a caution.”
Though Wallace’s take may not necessarily please the ones who are asking Hamlin to be penalized, it definitely attracted the #11 driver’s attention as he replied, “Cancel Culture is the worlds most deadliest disease Herm.”
He claimed that in Phoenix; the situation was more or less ideal, or in other words, it was a good day to take revenge. “I saw we were the only people up top, so I said I’m gonna send him in the fence and door him,” Hamlin said.
