It's all about lap time/race pace. Lap down cars are typically slower by a few tenths than the leader. Factor in fresher tires at a place like Darlington and it's easily 5 to 6 tenths.
As we were driving home from the track (my kids and I race) I kept flipping to the race on Sirrus/XM and the 11 was in the lead every time. I thought to myself, Denny is gonna win this deal if his crew doesn't F it up. Stopped to eat, got back in the truck, and sure enough the 11 was off the screen and way in the back. It's a damn shame it's getting predictable.
You can blame me. When Denny was leading, I was getting bored, and wished his wheel would fall off. Good enough. Nothing personal. Actually, I was hoping Denny and Kyle would tangle for the lead and see if Kyle had some pay back.
I honestly don't know how his payback is gonna work. I don't see kyle outright wrecking someone but I could see him use someone up on corner exit. Then it's the question of if that is even payback or just changing how you race a person.
Poor Kevin was in 2nd and 6th in points when he got that damn penalty. Faith he can pass Bubba and Joey and make round of 12. Just need to make mistakes early in race. Every other driver had time to come back
@@gunnerb4u978 yes he had some wrong with the car, maybe the tire set was just a bad set, it happens, but it wasn't a loose wheel.....he chose to come to the pits after his crew said they were pretty sure all the wheels got tight. His choice!
Does the leader really have that much advantage when lapping cars? Doesnt seem like anyone would have clean air at that point..
I’ve always wondered that too

@@gunnerb4u978 okay but once leader reaches tail end I don't see clean air even existing anymore..

I’m sure Denny was disappointed, but I can tell you how we & the crowd reacted! Lol
I'm sure he cried into his pillow
Poor Denny Oh the humanity!
He better get used to it

You're fast this year, lots of speed in the car, that's what matters. Luck is an unknown variable for everyone, not everyone has speed every week.
There has been 4 cars who have had speed all year, every race they are a top 5 car. (5,11,17,19,24) (I added Buescher he's had speed since all summer)
Denny is never wrong! No matter what the crew finds he won't say maybe it was him!
What a dumb comment.
dirty denny
Denny you getting a lose wheel gave Kyle Larson the win. So basically you paid him back one of the two from earlier this yr that you took from him.
Naah. Not the same, unless you promise that Hamlin had a loose wheel deliberately….
@@Yankee7000 true but when they're chilling and hanging out then he can say hey I gave you one back
@@fishingwithkar4871 and Kyle can sing Hamlin, DW’s favorite song…
What happened to Dale Jr. ?
What do you mean?

You would of lost to Larson anyway. He was just keeping your pace. Love to see you lose thanks Denny.
Perhaps if he hadn’t wrecked Larson twice earlier in the year to win this may not have happened. What goes around comes around
He cried on the toilet.
How Denny? He did that to himself!
How Harvick, that wasn't even close to his fault!
Explain how Hamlin did that to himself? This out to be good.....
Huh?

He wasn't running better than larson
Yo Denny u say certainly waaaayy tooo much
A lot of people say certain words a lot that they don’t even think much on. Not just Denny Hamlin
@@bighand1530 his is more apparrent than the average person
Especially when you got 50 extra horsepower
Denny and his crew did it again, lost another Championship. Its comical at this point.
There is always next year. I don’t see Denny Hamlin winning the championship this year.
This channel is turning into the denny Hamlin channel. I'm not here to listen to Denny hamlin
I dunno if I would say this channel has turned into the Denny Hamlin channel lol.
Then why did you click?
@@mr.smooth7809 I like your profile picture
Everything Denny felt with the loose wheel nobody seen. It’s funny how he pitted for something he thought he felt. Crew chief said they were tight
@@larryhobbs8769 That situation was something else.
I see hes worried about the 5 playoff points he lost out on. I think he should shut up. He stole 10 from the guy who ended up winning this one
Nascar fixed it for hendrix
Jimi or Hendrick?
