NASCAR Cup: Kobalt Tools 500

So calling out RCR for no reason is not an asshole?

How is Hamlin an asshole exactly?

I quote myself again. He needs to keep his mouth shut.....

About 75% of NASCAR drivers are assholes then.

Hamlin isn't anymore of a douche than Harvick is....or Edwards, Busch Bros. etc.

Exactly

Hamlin fans......

Nah. Even if he drove American I'd hate him.

I hate Toyota, yes but that doesn't mean that's the reason.

JJ will steal the title from him.

JJ stealing the title is not only gonna happen, it's pretty much guarenteed.

Chad Knaus.

Why was this locked?

And might I remind everyone, no matter how much you hate a driver, please keep it civil.

Reason I hate Hamlin: He is a crybaby. Kyle Busch 2.0. Look at the tantrum he did after the race today. He is no better than Cryle Busch in my eyes. I'd rather see Jimmie win the championship 10 years in a row than see Denny win it once. I'll respect him if he wins it, but I'll still hate him.

Tys0n just earned a ratings boost in AARO.

Naw. But that's exactly how I feel about him. Now lets just wait to see how this plays out without all the JJ vs 11 stuff now.

Oh yeah, and I'll bet you could be completely stoic and not show any negative emotion after your chance to claim the most coveted prize in all of American racing was chopped in half coming to the FINALE.

@Nick and Tyson

I completely disagree.. Hamlin may not have the greatest attitude, but at least he doesn't act like he's the greatest driver ever.


Kyle Busch acts like he is such a good driver and yet he is only winning in Nationwide and in the Trucks.. you know, the lower-tier series? In the big-time show, with best drivers in Nascar.. he doesn't win NEARLY as much. Keep in mind, the people he races against in Nationwide and Trucks have probably half of the experience he does AND half of the funding (if even that much).


At least Hamlin had a reason to be upset at Phoenix, he dominated. He ran perfectly for 90% of that race. Yes, he was pissed.. and you wouldn't be? There is absolutely NO WAY any of you can honestly say that you wouldn't be pissed after having that happen to you.

Not only that.. do you realize what Kyle Busch would have done if that same thing happened?

Kyle Busch would have blamed his crew chief.. and taken none of the blame. Did Denny Hamlin..? No.


EDIT: Vinny beat me to it, but we both make a similar point.

Hamlin is a crybaby in general...we weren't talking about last race.

Last race, 10 races ago, last year...racing is an emotional sport. You can't expect the people in it not to follow suit.
