Jeff Burton didn’t hold back when it came to his thoughts on Martin Truex Jr. retiring from NASCAR. While talking to Nate Ryan of NBC Sports, the former NASCAR driver and current analyst explained why Truex announced his retirement this year. “I just don’t think the casual fan can understand how grueling of a lifestyle it is,” Burton began. ” Look, it’s not without reward. It’s not a pity party here. It’s not without reward, it’s not without good pay, it’s not without a lot of things that a lot of people would just be very envious of. But it is a massive sacrifice. “…My wife knew she came seco...

During the Iowa Corn 350 on Sunday there were at least one or two cautions that left drivers scratching their heads, including a Stage 2 caution that came out when Daniel Hemric blew a tire and got into the wall. Though Hemric didn’t come into contact with any other cars and his car didn’t seem overly worse for the wear, NASCAR threw up the caution. Denny Hamlin was close by and was of a mixed mind on the caution. “It was close,” Hamlin said on Actions Detrimental with Denny Hamlin podcast. “He did hit the wall, but I think there’s, I don’t know how long we had gone green during that moment, b...

Denny Hamlin just broke down what happened to his car losing track position at the Cup Series race in Iowa after earning a P11 at qualifying. On his Actions Detrimental podcast, Hamlin said something like that doesn’t happen frequently, but it does happen. “It’s a five percent chance, it just doesn’t happen that often,” Hamlin said. “I think new paved surfaces always change a bunch as rubber gets laid down.

When he needed to get the lucky dog, he got it and so on. All those little breaks throughout the day saved Hamlin from finishing in the thirties and turning a disappointing day into a disastrous one. “I was trying to race but I was in ...
