Instead of getting support from the audience, he faced a massive backlash after he admitted to wrecking his rival, Ross Chastain. In his podcast, Hamlin opened up about not advocating the situation further regarding his penalty as he learned a lesson from his previous confession.
In the previous episode of his Actions Detrimental podcast, Denny admitted that he intentionally wrecked Ross Chastain at the Phoenix Raceway. However, things have changed as per the latest podcast episode. Hamlin chose not to advocate his penalty situation on a podcast to avoid giving NASCAR time to prepare for the appeal.
He said, “I think it’s smarter if I just kinda keep my opinions and my facts in my pocket.” However, he made sure to inform his fans that he will discuss it, once the air is clear. He said, “we’re not gonna get into it today, We will, when this appeal is over.”
While he is keeping things under wrap this time around, he did explain some of his actions and why he talked about the Ross Chastain bit at all. He added, “My job on this podcast and what I did last week is give the fans listening an inside perspective of what did the TV not show.”
