Dale is really the only guy I want to listen to about anything NASCAR. He brings a different point of view to incidents, especially from a driver persepective.

The only positive of this entire situation is that Corey Lajoie gets the chance to show what he can do with a strong car for the first time in several years. The last good rides he had were in ARCA and a few races in Xfinity for JGL Racing

Wow Dale was all over this from start to finish. Spot on.

The broadcasts need to use more double and triple screens to show more of the battles throughout the field. They've been missing that part for awhile. It's such a simple tool to use to improve the production a lot.

How cool it would be to sit with Dale Jr and watch a live race. His knowledge, his experience, would be so much fun and enjoyment!

As his daddy would say, “it was just one of them racing deals”😂😂

Personally, I believe Mr H gave his drivers permission (figuratively) in the speech he made directed at Chastain. I think Chase realized his season isn’t going well and he was tired of Denny being a bully and wasn’t going to tolerate it any longer at the risk of the poor season he is having.

I like when NASCAR told Dale Earnhardt, he needs NASCAR more than NASCAR needs him. So he stood out side the NASCAR huller for a hour signing autographs for a 100 people.

Thank you soo much for a very entertaining podcast, its enjoyed by many folks. Keep on Keeping on, lv it

the inability of the control booth to follow the actual action is something i've been screaming about for 20 years.

Your understanding and explanation is exactly perfect. You two do the most important of reporting the facts on the web. Thanks for saying it like is. A fan always 😊

I thought Keselowski accidentally hooked Chase, then on the replay it was clear Chase hooked Denny on purpose. Very dangerous move.

I've always been huge JR fan...and I'm a huge CHASE ELLIOTT fan.....thanx for you honest opinion..and I do agree with you.....don't stop what you are doing Dale...and still love seeing you on the track!

What they need to take a look at is the fact that Denny Hamlin seems to have problems with some driver every week different drivers but some driver

Awesome show as usual, keep up the great work

Rick done told y’all, keep playing

Initially I had thought Chase bounced off the wall and came back into Denny's car unintentionally, but looking at the replay it became pretty clear it was. Actually am a little surprised at Chase given his position in the points.

The difference in the Bubba Wllace/Kyle Larson incident was Bubba chased Kyle up and down until he hit him and then proceeded to track him down on foot to start a fist fight and then played Victim.

Every time I watch Hamlin seems to be running someone into the wall.

I’m so sick of hearing this was “just like the bubba” / Larson episode. Not all; Chase didn’t get out of the car, shrug off and shove the NASCAR official or go push Denny like he wants to fight. Not saying Chase shouldn’t have consequences but I’m glad he let NASCARS official crybaby know; “quit using me up you knucklehead!” Unfortunately delivers is too stupid to have gotten the message! I’m still thrilled Chase lives in delivers head 24/7 rent free!

Dale is the first NASCAR personality this week to point out that Denny put Chase in the fence multiple laps before that and appreciated that he could see the frustration coming Still doesnt excuse Chase...very dangerous crash that has killed in the past...probably worse than Chase intended in the moment

Love what you have morphed into the voice of reason. Bravo.

Chase did wrong but to the right guy, Denny dishes it out but can’t take it

denny does this every race get him chase

Dale and Mike are the best at giving you their views and making it entertaining. Love their podcast!

Dale...you are the best......always enjoy listening to you.......cheers from Florida, Paul

One that is never talked is Pocono 2006. Clint Bowyer gets tight puts Tony Stewart in the wall, Tony keeps the wheel straight for a couple of seconds than just straight up door slammed Clint and took him out and finished 41st because of it. It was obvious that was on purpose. Even Wally in the booth was calling for Tony to be parked a lap or 2.

I have learned so much about my favorite sport from Junior, Mike, and Denny. It's not about who I like or dislike more. I am learning from their insight and opinions. I love it and I am a better fan for it. Fans in NASCAR are usually so bias that they are unable to open their minds to a learning experience. Their loss.

What’s not being discussed is how many times that Hamlin has wrecked someone these in the last two years. Wrecked Byron at Texas last year, Larson at Kansas, Chastain at Pocono and Phoenix, JJ Yeley at Richmond, and Chase at Charlotte. If you also notice he wrecked Byron, Chase and Chastain all in the same way. Ran them high off the corner and put them in the wall. Im not defending Chase’s actions but I will draw light to what Hamlin’s doing but he’s been getting pretty wreckless with his moves.

The thing no one mentions about this is the move that started the accident to begin with. That move Denny made is almost the same as the one he made to wreck Chastain at Phoenix. It's the move that Chastain and Larson pulled on each other at Darlington. It's the move that Denny and all the other drivers have crucified Chastain for as a dirty over aggressive driving. It's the move that started the problems with Kyle Busch and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. It's a move that puts the car on the outside in a very vulnerable position, yet that is not being talked about. Sure turning someone head on into the outside wall is never ok but neither is forcing someone into the wall.

Just wanna know one thing. How the hell did Ross Chastain pull this one off?

That was a brutal hit and I could tell Chase was lying and not taking fault for that "I can't hear you it's loud" Just the body language and nervousness I could tell it was intentional

Here's the deal... in today's NASCAR you argue your case by coming back from a fine, penalty, or suspension by absolutely dominating the field and leaving the track after having delivered a flawless ass kicking. I don't like to speculate but I can tell Chase is dealing with some stuff behind the scenes in addition to dealing with some injuries, and not having won a whole lot lately. I'm anxious to get this racing circus to some road courses so Chase can get back to focusing and flexing his muscles. He needs some top 5's and some wins soon.

I love Dale jr podcast !

Denny is always pushing someone up to the wall every week. Then gets upset when they do him a little rough. Denny got what was coming to him. One of those racing hard deals.

Was it intentional? Absolutely! The real question is why was that action taken? Well it's no secret about the mutual dislike between the two. Nascar has two wrecking balls on the track every week. Denny and Ross, Denny can't stop leaning on chase every opportunity he gets. Chase got tired of it. I don't blame him at all. I hope Denny got the message this time.

How many races do you all think senior and Ricky Rudd would have been parked,or Bobby Allison and Cale

Dale Jr is awesome love how he explains different things

Well I have my opinions about what happened but I'll keep that to myself, but I did enjoy the discussion and your thoughts are pretty close. Keep it up.

My question is why is Denny trying to make an enemy out of Chase again?

There was a guy a while ago who did stuff like that all the time and got away with it.

I really find this discussion interesting and I’ll leave my opinions of the two drivers out of this comment, but this it’s curious how the review of this data is held specifically to the point of contact instead of the data that lead up too the contact. This SMT data sounds pretty accurate to tell NASCAR what a driver is doing, what the car is doing, and helps them determine the cause of any incident; which you would think to include what Hamlin did to slide up into Elliot. I would like to see an analysis of the data where Hamlin slid up into Elliot. What would that show. I worked in Public Safety for years and when I was called to investigate one of our unit’s involvement in an accident we looked at all factors that led up to the incident to consider how to proceed with any actions against our drivers. Furthermore, isn’t this a Panora’s box? If drivers can access other drivers data and then suddenly post the results for the rest of the world to see on Social Media, that would compromise the investigation and future investigations of other incidents. Besides being in poor taste, I think it causes huge issues for regulation of the sport… I love to watch racing and the skill of these athletes (all of them from the driver to the pit crews) work their magic to compete. But, if evaluation telemetry data becomes the norm after incidents like this, and NASCAR expands their enforcement to the telemetry of the cars that could be provoking the other cars, we could see some unfortunate micromanagement scenarios in my opinion. But the only way to get an accurate picture of the cause is to evaluate all the data and factors leading up to the incident which would include any provocative action on the part of the other driver. I believe we should have sound judgement and not let anger fuel actions that could cause injury, so I’m not defending anyone. But, if the argument is to say one driver had good control of their car and could have avoided this incident you have to evaluate why Hamlin slid up into Elliot in the first place; which takes us down a very bumpy road in the future. JW

Big Chase fan here and after seeing what happened I agree with the punishment. That said, I’m sick and tired of Denny Hamlin being the benefactor of a retaliatory act.

Regardless of the love or hate fans may have for these two drivers, And I'm an HMS fan from the Schrader days. This is not a track where you can let frustration cause this type of retaliation. Fines and Penalties are in order, and he may as well own what he did. Thank God no one was hurt.

That is a case of you hit me, I hit you back harder.

I'm curious to how a driver can get multiple playoff waivers per year, especially when one was a penalty that is in place to prevent you from killing someone.

Just discovered nascar this weekend and fell in love. Where can I get more news and content around nascar and more races?

I am not going to try to self judge it. I look at as just being hard racing and sometimes pay backs have always been used and I am just very thankful that God did take care of Danny. That as most might not actually realize is why a Prayer asking for protection before every race is so extremely important.

I agree they seem to move away from the action at the worst time

I was a DH fan until a couple years ago when he started giving a bunch of the new talents a tough time and became a massive heel of Nascar. Lately, Denny has been playing off his driving behavior against another driver too often, like he's Nascar's golden boy. Nascar needs to start warning and punishing Denny for intentionally pushing around others on the track and acting innocent every time something happens.

My question about this is WHO THE HELL retaliates more than Hamlin or Chastain when they're pushed into the wall?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

The only thing missing from this video is your opinion Dale, as to whether or not you think Chase was justified, or close to it. I agree that it totally appears that Chase turned him on purpose. That being said, when a driver of Denny's caliber makes contact, and then 2 laps later runs you into the fence, you have to believe that Denny has more talent then that. These two have history, Denny flat out dumped Chase at Martinsville comes to mind. I bet at that moment Chase felt like he was being disrespected and that his race just got ruined, therefore as drivers do (make very important decisions at the speed of light) he said "Ah hell nah.....". I don't blame him at all. I think this was handled correctly by Nascar, and I believe that in the end, Chase will have even more fans, and Denny will have less.... Nobody likes a whiny ass tattle tale

I cant believe chastain keeps getting away with this!!!!!

You notice these drivers are always saying it’s hard to pass. You will also notice that if they can’t pass another driver, they put them in the fence. I guess that’s a new way of passing.

Dale really is the definition of "anything that is worth saying is worth taking a long time to say". lol. Sometimes i'm just like dude say what you're trying to say, why are you dragging this explanation out lol.

When Chase turned left into Hamlin they were at the place on the track where it turns left (trioval). If Chase doesnt turn left, he is in the wall again. Hamlin bears responsibility in this wreck. Wallace pursued Larson across the track, no innocence there.

So when Denny put Chase in the wall for the 3rd or 4th time in a handful of laps, Chase had to work the wheel to gather it up. PERIOD. Denny puts guys in the fence time and again and admits it, yet the victim always gets blamed. SMH

Love that shirt Jr - made right here in Wisco!

Dennys had it coming since 2021

Denny drove like a moron and found out there are consequences. This running people into the wall BS has been going on too much and people are acting like the other driver doesn't have the right to retaliate. I don't care if it's Chase, Chastain, or McLeod, they have the right to retaliate when someone does them wrong.

Lol. Jr u n your dad were nascar favorites. Fan favorites only time you heard the fans over the engine noise. Still get goose bumps watching kenny push dale to his last win at daga. Jrrrrrrrrrrr

I love that Denny posted it. NASCAR should have posted the data to the public. Get the facts in the light. Chase's post race interview was full of classic 'tells' of someone guilty and lying, and Rick Hendrick didn't even mention an appeal. Rick knows the facts.

Denny is working on increasing his podcast listeners every week with his actions on the track.

Why is Chase suspended for a race when Denny was penalized but not suspended when he admitted he took out Ross? Not saying they are wrong for sitting Chase. Just curious what was the difference

Your comintary has gotten so good. I think your turning into one of the best, if you aren't already.

Hey, Junior, like the Sun Drop outfit. I still have an unopened 6 pack of commemorative bottles when your dad was a 5 time champ ( includes his rookie year). ❤

Get you someone who looks at you the way mike looks at dale

Denny was angry because he got dumped by Chase… BUT it looked like he was driving like Ross Chastain drove against him.. funny how that works!🤣😂🤣. I hope Corey does good in the 9 car.

"my wife is like, hey man you know" hahah no june that's how you talk hahaha man i love his guy

I find the Chase Elliott/Denny Hamlin Ordeal Extremely Ironic Considering the fact that Elliott & Larson are teammates as well as Hamlin being Bubba's Car Owner

The biggest tell sign, is that after Chase's car bounced off the wall and was "damaged" so much that he could not help hitting the 11, it drove pretty darn straight on the track all the way around to the pits, kind of makes Chases comments outside the care center hollow

I wish Denny would have shown his SMT data for both times he ran Chase into the wall…

I saw an overhead view replay that looked like the 6 clipped the 9’s bumper but I guess it is what it is

Is Denny's opinion becoming bigger than one driver's opinion because he owns a team now too? Just wondering 🤔

people forget that Hamlin ran into chase multiple times before Chase finally had enough. i understand it was wrong to hook Hamlin going that fast but if it wasn't for Hamlin intentionally running into chase and having enough of it, this wouldn't have happened. Then Hamlin goes crying for being turned.

I’m happy he tweeted the data I was able to shut a lot of people who don’t know what they are talking about

Only reason I knew Stenhouse was trying to hook Kyle, was because I was on his radio and in car on nascar app lol!

Well the joke is Hendrick Gordon and all the teams a week ago bitchen about Ross crashing his team cars racing! Then chase dumps Denny into the wall!😂😂😂😂what the hell is the deference accept Ross was just over driving mistake but chases was deliberate! Maybe Hedrick should talk to his own drivers!

I think it's pretty obvious that Elliott got tired of Hamlin running him into the wall and turned into Hamlin. Maybe Elliott meant to just hit him in the door, not the quarter panel. To me ,,, the difference between Elliott and Wallace is that Wallace chased Larson down the track a groove or two to hook Larson and then pursued Larson in the infield and laid hands on him ,,, and then laid hands on a NASCAR official. Elliott did his dirty work immediately, and kept it on the track. So much for the "Have at it boys" days. ;)

Wait, wait, wait. Denny chastained Chase at least twice. Denny provoked this. Denny should be parked too.

What I want to know is what is NASCAR going to do when Denny or Bubba does it again? Progressive micromanagement. So Denny hit his talking points and was successful in getting NASCAR to follow his lead. Hopefully Denny and his racer Bubba, or even the 45 car don't hook anyone this year because they should get a year suspension. Be very careful when you call for dispensing suspensions. Because yours and Bubba's will be extreme. You seem to forget Bubba drove down 2 lanes to hook Larson, then physically attacked him, then laid hands on a NASCAR Official. Maybe criminal charges should have been pursued by NASCAR with Bubba

Denny shouldn’t of squeezed him 4 times the whole thing never would’ve happened. But I guess Denny can do whatever he wants. And also Ross has gotten praised weekly for wrecking people. Either way he has a better chance of still winning a 2nd championship before Denny wins 1 (which will be never)

As a follow up to Jr talking about the drone camera…. I miss ( I guess ) the DLP Zip camera

As Charles said: "Just an inchident"

Never been a fan of all the drivers having access to everyone’s SMT data. Some things need to stay with the team.

What ever happened to the "let the boys have it" attitude from NASCAR?

I wonder what Dale Sr. Would have done if he was put in the wall by the same guy for 2 straight lap....😂

I noticed that when Chase was back in thé pit lane after the crash that the right rear wheel was not straight, something as bent in the suspension. The right rear wheel was " toe-in" . So Chase car was probably very hard, if not impossible to drive. Your show is awsome BTW😃

All the fans who were frothing at the mouth when this happened to Bubba, but now don’t understand at all, should just quit watching

Denny loves running people close to the wall

But you can wreck someone purposely for the win? Doesn’t make sense! To me wrecking the leader is a more serious offense.

I don’t give Clint any credit as he always goes against HMS. Just happened to be right this time.

I got the evidence then turns off the comments 😂

Almost as satisfying as when kenseth took out logano at Martinsville.

If you wreck the guy for position, you should have to go back to the back of the line with him. If he goes back, he go back to trythat.

Go Chase !

Stevie Wonder could see that he hooked him 😂 Data doesn't lie.

The big question should be, what is going to happen when one of these guys wrecks someone on purpose and the other driver is seriously hurt or killed, save your retaliation for short tracks and if you cannot control your emotions stay out of the car.

Denny was getting on an off the throttle trying to keep off Chase. He did squeeze him into the wall. Whether you like a driver or not there is no excuse for hooking a guy like that. Rubbing is racing but that is gonna get someone killed. I don't think anyone wants that.

As far as my point of view. Hamlin squeezed Elliott up against the wall intentional or not. Chase had not fully recovered from that then Bradd Kaslowski unintentionally bumped him or took the air off the spoiler in order to avoid the wreck and as a result Elliott was wiggling and it appears to look like Elliott intentionally wrecked Hamlin. Also I believe Boyer's. Knee jerk reaction was a bit uncalled for as a result influenced everyone including Nascar to punish Elliott for simply trying to gain control of his car. All in all I believe both Elliott and Hamlin are innocent. Hamlin could of taken the high road with class and said rubbing is racing which would have ended this feud. What do you think?
