In one of the recent episodes of his podcast Actions Detrimental, Denny Hamlin discussed how Bubba Wallace made a bad decision during the last lap of Sunday’s GEICO 500. Furthermore, he shared what Wallace should have actually done instead of attempting multiple blocks at such a crucial stage of his run.
“When NASCAR put big a** spoilers on our Superspeedway car. So, from (around) 2006 to 2012, the cars had a lot less drag. Less drag and less horsepower – which is why you saw a big bubble effect. Which I think we need to start to get back to. Because these cars are so planted to the race track, we’re running into each other so hard that wrecks are inevitable.”
“I am not saying wrecks are a bad thing but it makes it less of a skill game. You saw Dale (Earnhardt) Jr…Tony Stewart back in the day. They were so good at working the lines and really manipulating the competition around them’s air to make their car go forward.”
“Now, we’re just whoever can hit the car in front of them the hardest to move that line forward is what you find is successful one. That’s, I don’t know…it’s not as much of a skill game because of that.”
