Early in the second stage of the NASCAR Cup Series race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway Denny Hamlin, Christopher Bell and Ty Gibbs were battling for position.
The battle went on for over a dozen laps, but ended with Gibbs in the Turn 1 wall off the nose of Hamlin’s No. 11.
Both drivers expressed frustration about the situation, with the incident itself coming under scrutiny.
Was Hamlin in the right in his involvement, or did he overstep against a teammate?
Kevin Nix answers this week’s question for NASCAR Mailbox on Frontstretch’s YouTube Channel.
Kevin Nix has been with Frontstretch since February 2023. Hailing from Gilbert, Arizona, his dream is to be in the NASCAR media sphere full-time. He is a video assistant, working on the back end to streamline video and audio quality of all at-track interviews. Nix also writes about news every Monday for the site.
Nix graduated with a Master's Degree in Sports Journalism from ASU's Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication in Phoenix, Arizona. He also has bachelor's degrees in Communications and Political Science. In his downtime, he likes to read, play video games and take walks in the Arizona weather - when it's not too hot.
Not a Hamlin fan at all, but ty is a selfish little twirp.
And Hamlin isnt?? Ty is still young and stupid like a lot of us were at that age, so what is Hamlin’s excuse. He whines and cries about every single thing, and then goes out and does the same thing to others that he complains about.
I’d already spent 4 years in a war by Gibbs age-22
Typical stupid NASCAR question. Connor Zilisch threw a hissy fit and hooked SVG into the wall and people cheered and even the TV broadcast applauded it saying SVG had it coming for passing Zilisch. Real answer is he is not from the south or married to his sister. Fans cheer for crashes and especially death but cry when the favorite driver wrecked.
“Especially death”?
HAMLIN WAS JUST BEING HAMLIN. DIRTIEST DRIVER SINCE THE BODINE BROTHERS AND JIMMIE SPENCER. SPUN LARSON AT LEAST THREE TIMES THIS SEASON. HE’S NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP BY RACING CLEAN.
IF HE CAN’T PASS THEM CLEAN HE CRASHES THEM. HE’S ALSO ONE OF THE BIGGEST CRY BABIES IN NASCAR. 😭😭😭😭
