I secretly root for Hamlin. If he drove a Chevy I would be a big fan. Out of all the Toyota drivers I’d rather see him win. I like his style. He seems to be pretty smart and truthful on this podcast.
I get the “win or lose as a team” idea, but this was on your pit crew Denny. If it happened once, it happens, but how many times now? I’m pulling for you man!
He will need to win Homestead or Martinsville to move on. Trust me. I'm a big Hamlin fan since I started watching around 2018. Logano winning made the points swing bad like that. -27 is a lot cuz Byron at +27 above is good at Homestead.
Ok maybe it was on his pit crew so when he wins don't let his crew celebrate with him. Is that what your saying it's a team rather mistakes are made on them or driver or win or lose
Thank you for the full race in camera. I found it very educational. It was great to be in the car watching the lines you were running, the tire falloff and adjustments you made (different line, feathering the throttle more on the bottom when the car didn't really want to go there, etc.). The patience you drivers have to have when setting up a pass and not overdrive the car is incredible. Cudos to you and most of the rest of the field, for your driving skills. Although I am a Larson fan (have been since he was a rookie with Ganassi), I have tremendous respect for all the driver that make it to the Cup Series. Your career has been fabulous. it's better to be a hall of fame driver than to win a championship with this ridiculous format. Great career, thanks for your efforts, it has been fun to watch you race over your entire Cup career. Good luck, in the champion run. Regards, Tony
Thank you for all of what you said. I am an old school Nascar fan. I stick with my drivers good or bad and I have a 1999 Toyota Solara, and I bought it because I went from chevy to Toyota and Terry Labonte was my driver of choice back a while ago. I would not want this job and am a proud Denny fan, like I said for good or bad. I think when he exits out of the sport, I will switch to 23XI and then start to bow away. It is getting ridiculous, and I am tired of trying to keep up with it.
I’ve heard others say that Denny and Chris have lost some passion and aggression since the Toyota debacle. Let’s just win Homestead and shut down all of the rhetoric. We are pulling for you Denny!
Definitely appreciate listening to these podcasts. While I may not root for Denny specifically--the insights and discussions are interesting to listen too.
Blaney helping Logano is actually helpful to Blaney. Now Joey is in and can help Ryan in the next races without it hurting his place. I think people are forgetting that. You can't tell me Joey wont help Ryan before Phenoix.
Ok Joey hasn't been great all season just because they got really lucky doesn't mean he will be able to help blaney that win hurt blaney not helped him Joey will not win the championship
Hey Denny, you know this aint a sprint race. You and your JGR teammates have been the fastest all year. Take a tenth out the car if it means you can drive it at 10/10ths comfortably! I want to see that 11 car give a shove after it gets pushed. Make them fear that, you're a goddamn HOF driver! Lettem know!!🎉❤
The way this playoff format is for nascar is cool to watch it play out. But I like old nascar champions when the points mattered and you had to really run good every week to earn points to win a championship.
Tbh, I would really love to see either Joey or Denny to win the Championship, It is not like I don't like to see Larson or Elliott to win, I like when they win, I just love to see disliked drivers win more, they prove themselves that those hate just fuels them more, and this means Logano and Hamlin. Go #11 and #22
It’s funny how Denny is perfectly willing to throw his pit crew under the bus bus, but the moment Jared brings up him stopping short in his box he suddenly get tired of taking about their bad day.
I don't think A.J. was that much of a surprise, he won Las Vegas a few years back, He won on the old Atlanta (before they screwed it up). I guess it's a little surprise because Kaulig has been off their game on the ovals this year. But A.J. was a determined to win as I've ever seen him before. Joey wasn't a surprise, he just some how has a knack for pulling off these miracle wins when he needs them.
While the "cool" drivers were spending their money in Mexico on vacation, Logano was trying to figure out how he was going to beat all those "cool" drivers at Vegas...lol
Re shocking. It is not at all shocking that Logano found a way to capitalize on the lucky break he got to make the final 8 and find a win to advance. It IS shocking that in a race that had a thoroughly dominant car and in which Loagno was good but not one of the 5 best cars that this would be the race in which he jumped up and won and punched his ticket. Bottom line is given what was playing out on track all day it is somewhat shocking Bell didn't win.
You can hear Denny Hamlin's disdain for Logano. Denny views himself as having the better season and kinda does not feel Joey is a contender this season, but both have 3 wins this season. Denny 3 wins before playoffs, but Joey has 1 win before playoffs, 1 win in round of 16, and now a win round of 8. So Denny are you really more of a contender? NO.
Denny I understand your frustration with the 22, you guys have battled one another over 20 years & I don't think there has ever been any closure to your relations with each other. One thing I would say, is that weather you realize this or not, Joey has learned a lot from you, which I believe has contributed to his success. I just hope one day the both of you guys can one day realize that you were apart of the best Nascar Racing of all time & you guys did it by pushing each other every step of the way!
Playoffs will never reward consistency. Tony Stewart did nothing all year, barely scraped his way to the chase, then won 5 of the last 10 races on his way to a championship. Playoffs are meant to put all your eggs in one basket. That's the opposite of consistency.
Logano's win was a shocker because his car was not fast enough. He won on fuel milage. One more lap, he'd lost. He will need to find more speed to win the championship. Goodluck.
I'm a huge huge chase elliot fan and denny hamlin fan as well they say chase needs to win to get into the final four I agree but I can't see chase winning at all I mean Steve lepatard says for the second half of the season his car has shown it doesn't have the fire power like the other top 8 cars do I so agree so again chase has no chance of advancing now unless Hendricks motor sports actually give him speed from what I see chase has had the 4th best car on his own team which is very disappointing and very upsetting I hate for chase
Championships in this format seem so watered down. I wish there wasn’t even a season championship in nascar at all. I just like watching every race as it’s own thing. It’s more entertaining to me than it is a traditional sport. I know that might not make sense but like Denny having 54 cup wins to me is way more impressive than someone lucking into a title in this format.
-27 in two races is doable. But you're gonna have be day long power twice in a row to realistically think about pointing your way in. Think 95 points in 2 races The fact that yesterday yall never looked good much less elite has to be concerning. The bottom line is that to power your way in either with a win or by points, the 11 will have to be way better than it was yesterday. Without that the only way is to create or find ,and then successfully execute, an opportunity win somehow Hope 2 of the 3 Toyotas make it in. On to Homestead. I will there in perskn with a buddy, rooting for Toyotas and dreaming of one last MTJ win
I just want to put it out there, I have pulled for Larson since his early days in the 32 in xfinity, I want the 5 to win the championship again of course but a part of me wants to see Denny get his though, I feel like Denny has paid his dues and is to good of a driver to not have a championship, just wondering who else is feeling this way regardless of who you pull for
Denny Hamlin is butthurt because of 22 is in for that's so funny! He's a two-time champion! Denny Hamlin is questioning a two-time champion calling him a chump!
@@southernbelle5573 I literally can not defend this system anymore if Joey wins. He got 2 wins because he was slow aka saving fuel. One got him into the playoffs and the other got him to the championship race. The system needs to be changed or overtime eliminated. Nascar is trying too hard for parody. Sure there's parody for a 15th place car to be in the big dance but that wasn't the reason for the next gen car. The car was designed with the intention that smaller teams would have an equal shot. And they don't, even when we see parody, like Joey for instance he's still on a powerhouse team.

If Travis is going to chime in all the time, put a camera on him. He’s pretty annoying so I hope that doesn’t happen, but he should just keep to steering the conversation and keeping it on topic and not talk so much.
In my humble opinion I really like the playoff idea in THEORY but NASCAR just needs to make 2 tweaks to make it really exciting and WAY more fair: 1) Get rid of the "win and you're in". Its a dumb idea that without it would have gotten rid of pretty much every controversial playoff entry so far. Don't like Joey being in the final 4? Well without it he would still be only #4 in the points. Dont like Harrison Burton making the playoffs? He was only there cause of win and you're in. The list for this year goes on... 2) Make the playoffs a 4 - 3 - 3 race system. 16 drivers to start. First 4 races, and then eliminate the worst 8 on points. 8 drivers left and another three races. Now we have the 3 final races with the remaining 4 drivers. No one race will determine the winner, and everyone got there on points, not just winning one or two races at an opportune time. No gimiky one race to determine the champion BS.
Logano has made it this far due to others misfortune. The only time this season he has been a TRUE car to beat was the allstar race. I dont see him as a "title contendor" in these playoffs. He's more of a survivor.
Whats up FBI? definitely keep watching this guy plz and thx. Definitely touches or harms kids btw but with a name like his im sure he is in Europe where its legal to do that so not sure what you can do.
Denny is the next guy out at JGR. he has lost a step. He is at that age when you just lose that something they once had. And his dumb idea of going against NASCAR is way bigger distraction than he probably wants to admit.
I secretly root for Hamlin. If he drove a Chevy I would be a big fan. Out of all the Toyota drivers I’d rather see him win. I like his style. He seems to be pretty smart and truthful on this podcast.
Years ago, Denny Hamlin was with Chevy.
lmao
I don’t understand Denny’s pit crew performing well all year and then tanking when it matters most. Make it make sense, please!
I’m actually surprised there’s not more outrage on this TBH. Nobody should get a free pass on scrutiny, especially during the playoffs.
Things happen!
Denny is the only one over the wall who doesn't crack under pressure.
Same with larsons crew they looked like they didn't know how to change tires on that one stop.
You mean like how larson’s crew is typically the bests also and both teams dropped a dozen balls that day lol
I get the “win or lose as a team” idea, but this was on your pit crew Denny. If it happened once, it happens, but how many times now? I’m pulling for you man!
But not having a fast car is a bigger problem

The 2 yrs Logano won the championship, he also won the race at Vegas!
I think Jared knew what you meant when you said shocking...he just wanna argue lol
That wasn't Jared arguing lol. That was Travis
Yes you're correct!! My mistake!!
Travis is honestly annoying
Podcast starts,
Travis: BUT PPL ON TWITTER SAID THIS WAS SHOCKING-
Travis is very annoying. I mentioned it last week. He was just trying to be argumentative for no reason, slowing the conversation down.
Definitely appreciate listening to these podcasts. While I may not root for Denny specifically--the insights and discussions are interesting to listen too.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SIGNING MY THING DENNY!!!
How many times do you have to come into the pits in 6th and go out 16th before you chew somebody's ass Denny?
I'm pretty sure this was Martin's old pit crew that used to do the same thing to him
That shit was killing me
4 minutes quibbling over if Joey's win was shocking. Muzzle Travis FFS

BOO
Who's first and second?
Larson…and
@@davids5006Johnson and Harvick
Oh you mean third on time in just the playoffs alone
Rusty Wallace--Tony Stewart--Kevin Harvick fan glad to see you still in the hunt!

Dennys pissed
If my team performed well all year and then dumpster-fired every playoff race, I’d be pissed too!
Felt the pain. Let's find some speed and lose the pit road mistakes.
So happy Joey gets to race for his third Championship!!
#48 team really messed up letting Logano slip into the championship
It’s funny how Denny is perfectly willing to throw his pit crew under the bus bus, but the moment Jared brings up him stopping short in his box he suddenly get tired of taking about their bad day.
Denny really wanted to say “Where are we going with this conversation?” 🤦♂️

Bring back “I beat your favorite driver.”
That would call for him to win
While the "cool" drivers were spending their money in Mexico on vacation, Logano was trying to figure out how he was going to beat all those "cool" drivers at Vegas...lol
Re shocking.

Travis is such a tool
But he's Dirty Mos tool
We have to have a championship this year Hamlin!!!!

NO.
This nascar cup series season has been surprising overall besides the handful of dominating rases by Kyle larson
Tire falloff was awesome

AJ has recently won at Vegas (March 2021) so I don’t know how that is a surprise?!
Wouldn't recently be like this year 😅
Denny pls win this week. I was at Vegas in the spring and you signed my car
All due respect for what Travis does for the show but he tends to kill the flow.
Im a playoff defender but the “win your in” needs to go. playoffs will work better if it rewards consistency not a one off win.
then that would not be a playoff format
@@texaszed9834whole format does need a refresh but getting rid of the you win your is still a step in the right direction
Playoffs will never reward consistency. Tony Stewart did nothing all year, barely scraped his way to the chase, then won 5 of the last 10 races on his way to a championship. Playoffs are meant to put all your eggs in one basket. That's the opposite of consistency.
Nope, better excitement with win and your in
Does anybody know the time stamp where he’s talking about the dead bird?
Homestead this weekend and you have 6 poles and 3 wins and now it is time to show up and get that 4th win and into the 4.
Im at the end of my workday. I’m gonna need you to get these out earlier so I can listen earlier. Please and Thanks 😂
Let’s go Denny. Go get a win in Miami. ❤
People say they don't get dennys pot crew non performance but I don't get Kyle Larson pit crew non performance either very poor
Logano's win was a shocker because his car was not fast enough. He won on fuel milage. One more lap, he'd lost. He will need to find more speed to win the championship. Goodluck.
Sometimes the faster car just doesn’t win
Denny needs to find some speed also.
I'm not sure how easy Blaney would have let Bell get by him
Best car only wins the race 1/3rd of the time
#A11in Anything can happen this year
My money's on JGR # 11 Hamlin!!
Sport being a week to week Sport is why all these podcast are interesting
Hoping you win homestead so martinsville won’t be the make or brake like it seems to be every year
Did the pit crews go to cabo too?
I'm a huge huge chase elliot fan and denny hamlin fan as well they say chase needs to win to get into the final four I agree but I can't see chase winning at all I mean Steve lepatard says for the second half of the season his car has shown it doesn't have the fire power like the other top 8 cars do I so agree so again chase has no chance of advancing now unless Hendricks motor sports actually give him speed from what I see chase has had the 4th best car on his own team which is very disappointing and very upsetting I hate for chase

Any given Sunday. Just takes one guy to DNF to swing the pendulum
I don't see anyone pointing into the final 4.
He was falling back in S3 as part of the strategy.
I think Danny is crew chief blew that race
This pod would be perfect if it wasn't for this Travis guy. Beyond annoying
I get really tired of Denny talking bad about Reddick. I thought 23XL was a good team for him, but I'm starting to doubt
No what he said was true

Regardless if I like or dislike Denny Hamlin, I wouldn’t be against him winning the championship this year for a change.
I really wish NASCAR would scrap this POS nextgen car. If not, give em 1000hp and do more testing on the FE to make the racing better.
I was going to put money on logano but thought I’d be responsible. I was hoping bell was going to win so I didn’t hate myself. 😂
Having a hatefest within now huh lol
I’m a half fan 😅
Blaney will win both up coming races and finish second in the title chase to Logano.
#1 Logano
#2 Blaney
#3 Bell
#4 Byron
denny these kids you got on here and their arguing over things they have no clue... fix it...
😂
NASCAR chooses who’s gonna be the champion at the end of the day…
F .. AJ is my thoughts

Normal thing for the 11 to f up

penske fan here. i hate the playoffs so much. i like logano but he does NOT deserve to be the championship favorite this year or 2022.
I still stand by theory that Denny is being sabotaged. I hate it.
