I don’t think fans dislike Denny as a driver, I think fans dislike Denny’s personality.

[@DamnWelfareBums]

I'm the opposite before watching Denny's podcast I disliked him as a person and driver. But as a person I think he's actually a cool dude.

[@christianmeek2542]

It is because he is part owner of the Bubba Wallace car...

[@tmthylthm]

No, they hate him for multiple reasons. 1, he drives a Toyota (and boomers still think about anti-Japanese WWII propaganda). 2, he owns the team that Bubba drives for. 3, he wrecked the golden boy at Martinsville in 2017.

[@klk1900]

Of course he has a very negative Arrogant personality. Then he says he’s better than everyone. Dale or Richard didn’t become leaders in the sport by doing that.

[@tmthylthm]

@@klk1900 do you have actual evidence of this or is that just what you thought up?

[@bighand1530]

I heard the combination of cheers and boos for Kyle Busch. Meanwhile, Denny Hamlin and Joey Logano got boos. And Bubba Wallace got louder boos than both Denny Hamlin and Joey Logano.

[@rodneycaupp5962]

Good call Big Hand. BTW that name, is it in reference to the Ancient Indian Big Hand, lithograph cliff face near New Ark Ohio ? Don't look for any photos , the railroad blew it up to run tracks along the River. All those mentioned drivers, have had growing up problems and tarnished NASCAR in one way or another. KYLE BUSH, now garners more respect than many of these children in racing. I hope he gets it together, with all that talent.

Went to the 600 last year. I was in the infield for driver intros. I legitimately can not tell what physically reverberated through my body more, the cars flying into Turn 1 as I was in one of the first front rows or the amount of hatred for Bubba. Headlines aren't talking about Larson dominating the race, headlines are talking about the radio chatter. It's fucking pathetic and embarrasing. I want to be proud of this sport, but I can't be proud because of these kind of assholes. It's absolutely fucking pathetic, embarrasing, and absofuckinglutely asinine that these fucking degenerate wastes of society think that the racing product is the one and absolutely only possible why people don't want to watch NASCAR.

I think Kyle Busch really started making an effort to show a better side of himself about half way through last season, there's no doubt he tried to be more open and less obnoxious during press conferences, and even showed some restraint after tough results on the track. Whether that was in hopes of securing a new ride or sponsors, I don't know, I don't even care about his motives. He's always been a great driver, now I can actually enjoy that instead of rooting against him just because of the way he acts.

[@6.4hemidriver44]

I'm not or wasn't a Kyle Busch fan at all. That said, I noticed him start to change after the 2015 crash at Daytona. It kept going as he had his kids. He and his wife taking the son to the little racetrack is awesome. I try to watch those videos. It's good stuff.

[@dustinstan21]

Man you said it with RCR. My dad is a RCR Loyalist that swore he would NEVER like that Busch Brat. And my mom was worse than him. Winning lightened him up to the 8 car idea really quickly. Our conversations went from the shock of the news of him leaving Gibbs to the on track performance gains he is making for Chevrolet. He still won’t verbally support Kyle, but he damn sure is all about a strong RCR showing and hearing him defending Kyle in a situation is something that I never expected.

Poor Bubba. What about Kyle, Darrell W. Jeff Gordon Your Dad. I guess he’s so special. I never heard you defend Kyle.

[@supersportrsz28]

it's true. Was anti Jeff Gordon from being a loyal Dale Sr. fan. Just couldn't stand to see him doing well. But later on I began to respect and appreciate how much he helped our beloved sport. Same for JJ. Man, 5 championships and winning all the time was too much to take at the time. But after the fact and seeing him in Indy I gained so much perspective and respect and truly wished for him to do well in Indy cars. Seeing Harvick punch JJ in the chest after a race and how JJ handled himself I gained huge respect for the man he is. Huge respect for both Gordon and Johnson now. But in the moment, Dale Sr. is, was, and always will be the man and could not stand Gordon as competition. Growing older helps put things in perspective also. Bubba fighting Larson after that wreck is where a lot of the booing comes from. Let's just enjoy some great racing and the fact that LAR SON put an old school whooping on all them boys Sunday. Can't wait for Charlotte. Heck, I was even anti Dale Jr. for a while after he chose Hendrick(the enemy in my mind at the time lol) over staying with DEI or going to RCR. But as time goes by you appreciate how talented all these drivers are. Wish Carl Edwards would have stayed but still appreciate the great shows he put on. Loved seeing Concrete Carl beat JJ coming out of that final run at I believe Atlanta. Now, come on Rowdy(#8) and LAR SON(#5) this weekend for some great racing and wins!!!

[@brentruvio6556]

I was 17 when Jr announced he was gonna be Gordon's teammate the next year. I knew the only way Jr was staying at dei was if Teresa would give him ownership in the team. And we all knew that wasn't happening. Still rubs me funny too. Still don't like her. She's the reason dei is just a museum now. When fs1 aired that Earnhardt vs Gordon special I actually cried when they showed Jeff next to the Dale monument in kannapolis. Die-hard Gordon til the day I die but I'll always love Sr too

[@corvairjim1]

As I understand, Theresa didn't offer Jr. a further contract with DEI, and RCR couldn't come close to what Hendrick was offering. Plus, I heard at the time that Rick Hendrick and Dale Jr had a close relationship, especially after his dad passed. Looked at in that light, I think the move was logical. Besides, RCR was in a decline at the time(a decline that they have been slowly pulling out of, thankfully), and Hendrick offered a first class operation with first class equipment and people. Yeah, as a Dale Sr fan, I would have loved to have seen him go to RCR, but in the end I think he made the right choice. Dale Earnhardt: Always THE MAN, always a fan!

I have never really been a Kyle Busch fan. I liked his brother, and never saw him come across as the brash racer that Kyle became. I think it stems back to when at Hendrick, he performed good, but totally ripped his team and the car in front of everyone. Going to Toyota and Joe Gibbs was a relief to Hendrick fans. He's a hard hard racer and I think most people believe that was a solely Dale Sr. kind of thing, and they didn't want to see Kyle perceived as an Intimidator in NASCAR. Hell I thought that, being a huge Dale Earnhardt Sr & Jr fan. BUT, upon going to the Night Race at Bristol, the first after the Covid shutdown, I watched Kyle go from last place and work his way through the field in the Skittles car. Sitting on the front stretch and just watching this mastery of passing high and low, and to forget he make it to 2nd place just at the end of the stage, just made me gain so much more respect for Kyle. I look back and see, he's been doing this for a while. When he wasn't given a contract extension at Jog Gibbs, and they held out for another, I couldn't wait to see him in a Richard Childress car.

Bubba had a really good fan base. But the thing that pushed them away from him is his attitude and how he presents himself. Just like when Kyle Busch wrecked Hornaday he lost fans. But he has changed and has showed his good qualities. But Bubba wrecking Kyle then bullies him by pushing him and wouldn't stop! Bubba even pushed a offical! So stop being his cheer leader and start trying to see the fans side of things it's not his color it's his shitty attitude and the way he can't control his emotions behind the wheel.😊 Your My Favorite driver and you are a great spokesperson for this sport.

Context; The Last Race I seen live was my older Brother and I were sitting in the GM Grandstand at Charlotte Motor Speedway. It was the All-star Race with your Dad #3 Chevy winning, with the last lap being The Famous "Pass in The Grass" against #9 Ford Coors Melling Racing, Wild Bill From Dawsonville Ga." Yeah Jr, we would go to Charlotte with our Radio Head Sets that picked up MRN so we knew what was going on play by play, better than listening and watching the race itself. We didn't have access to the drivers conversations unless it was replayed for entertainment, or additional context to how something happened on the track, but no absolutely no access to every racer's actual voice coming through our Radio.

[@bryanelder5636]

There's a way to solve the issue of fans transmitting on the driver's channels. It's called a DCS. Digitally coded squelch. The transmitter emits a sub audible tone that you can't hear. The receiver only opens the squelch if it receives that tone. You could have 100 fans transmitting at the same time and the driver would NEVER HEAR THEM. There are hundreds of different tones that can be programmed. To figure out what tone their using would be nearly impossible. It's what law enforcement and first responders use to keep people off their radios. But the good fans with scanners can still listen to their favorite driver.
