Denny Hamlin had a hilarious response to a review from a Kyle Busch and Joey Logano fan during the latest episode of his Actions Detrimental podcast.
Yes, that’s Kyle Busch and Joey Logano — this fan has two favorite drivers, and it’s the heated rivals of Busch and Logano. While the reviewer left some nice notes for Hamlin, the No. 11 wheelman was taken aback by the news, and made sure to point it out.
“How’s that — this guy has problems anyway, if he’s a Kyle Busch and [Joey] Logano fan? That’s oil and water,” Hamlin laughed. “… You might need to get your head checked, if you’re a Logano and Busch fan. So I appreciate your review, but you’re going to have to hit me up on social and let me known how you became fans of both, because these two guys might be as opposite as you possibly can, possibly can get. And maybe that’s — he just wants to cover his bases.”
Perhaps they’ll add Hamlin to the mix, now that he’s basically given them a shoutout on his podcast. Still, the crossover between Busch and Logano doesn’t make a lot of sense, especially given the history between the two drivers.
Nevertheless, all three of the aforementioned drivers should play a role in this weekend’s Enjoy Illinois 300 Presented by TicketSmarter at World Wide Technology Raceway in Gateway Motorsports Park. Busch actually won the event last season, so we’ll see if the No. 8 can do it again in 2024.
Denny Hamlin pressed on whether Kyle Larson should get a waiver from NASCAR after missing Coca-Cola 600 start
After Mother Nature ruined Kyle Larson’s attempt at pulling the double — racing both the Indianapolis 500 and the Coca-Cola 600 on the same day — all the talk has been whether the Hendrick Motorsports wheelman should receive a waiver for the Cup Series playoffs, as he missed the race in Charlotte.
It’s a unique situation, as Larson would’ve been able to participate in the race, but it was called early due to rain, and Christopher Bell was named the winner a little more than halfway through. Denny Hamlin elaborated on whether he’d give Larson a waiver, if it were up to him.
“I got asked that question by a couple people at JGR. … They said, ‘Do you think he should get a waiver?’ And I said quickly, ‘Yeah, absolutely.’ They were like, ‘Really? So what if you want to go race Le Mans next year? Should you get a waiver?’ I said, ‘Hm, that’s a good point. I didn’t think about it like that.’ What defines a major event? There are lots of major events,” Hamlin said, regarding Larson choosing the Indianapolis 500 over the Coca-Cola 600. “Now, Kyle wasn’t missing this to go to a high-limit race. You know, he was missing this to do the Indy 500. I don’t know how NASCAR feels about him choosing Indy over the Coke 600, but I think you’d be hard-pressed to convince me that the Coke 600 is a bigger event than the Indy 500. Would anyone make that argument?
“I think yes, he absolutely should (receive the waiver). I think absolutely, he will. I would think that they would have a tough time — I think it would be very hard — they made this decision, without already consulting with NASCAR, on what they would do.”
The competitor and the team-owner in Denny Hamlin would like to see Kyle Larson granted a waiver for the playoffs. It’s easy to see why, and it would certainly be controversial if NASCAR doesn’t grant the No. 5 team one over the next couple of days.
