Denny Hamlin Blasts Ross Chastain For ‘Bulls–t Racing’ In Talladega

23XI Racing co-owner and Joe Gibbs Racing driver Denny Hamlin has hit out at fellow Toyota driver Ross Chastain for “bulls**t racing” during the NASCAR Cup Series race at Talladega.

During the Jack Link’s 500 at Talladega Superspeedway, the Trackhouse Racing driver used a blocking move on Hamlin. Addressing the move during his Actions Detrimental podcast, Hamlin argued that if it had been the other way around then Chastain probably would have crashed into the back of him. He explained:

“But I believe the roles reversed, he would have, he would probably just run into me. I would think he would run into me as he should and say, ‘I didn’t make you swerve. I was running my lane with the pack of cars that was on the race track. You tried to merge up into a lane that wasn’t there.’

“So, I just think it’s bulls**t racing and I think that um, I guess you got to just hold it down and if you cause a wreck, hopefully, you spin them out and don’t wreck yourself.

“That’ll be hard to do, but at some point, I’ve got caught in wrecks and finished so horribly lately on these superspeedways, it’s like, what do I care? At this point, just cram it in there and say, ‘Sorry, it was your fault, not mine.’”
