Denny Hamlin breaks down a chaotic day at Darlington and all the moments that led to things going sideways during the Goodyear 400. From tire falloff and fuel strategy to the split-second decisions teams have to make, he walks through how the race really played out and why drivers ended up in tough spots. Denny also shares his side of the contact with Erik Jones, what he saw from the driver’s seat, and how quickly it can unravel at a place like Darlington when you’re pushing it that hard. He gets into pit road situations too, and how timing, communication, and just being in the wrong place can turn into a bad day fast. Beyond the incidents, Denny zooms out and talks about how the weekend felt as a whole, including what went wrong for his team, how 23XI Racing approached things, and why some cars were able to charge forward while others stalled out. It’s a mix of honesty, frustration, and real insight into how these races actually unfold from inside the car. If you want to understand not just what happened, but why it happened, this is a good one to watch. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
