Dale Jr Shares His Initial Reaction to the Chase Elliott-Denny Hamlin Dust-Up | Dale Jr Download

Our podcast episode was recorded before the news about Chase Elliott's suspension had been released, but this video is about Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s initial reaction to the incident at the Coca-Cola 600. Chase and Denny Hamlin made contact multiple times and eventually tensions rose until it could not hold anymore.

But there is the fact that Denny kept running Chase into the wall, which can knock a car out of the race. Denny was also intentionally trying to wreck Chase. Denny should have also got at least a point penalty for his behavior.

[@jeffwaldrep5467]

I really find this discussion interesting and I’ll leave my opinions of the two drivers out of this comment, but this it’s curious how the review of this data is held specifically to the point of contact instead of the data that lead up too the contact. This SMT data sounds pretty accurate to tell NASCAR what a driver is doing, what the car is doing, and helps them determine the cause of any incident; which you would think to include what Hamlin did to slide up into Elliot. I would like to see an analysis of the data where Hamlin slid up into Elliot. What would that show. I worked in Public Safety for years and when I was called to investigate one of our unit’s involvement in an accident we looked at all factors that led up to the incident to consider how to proceed with any actions against our drivers. Furthermore, isn’t this a Panora’s box? If drivers can access other drivers data and then suddenly post the results for the rest of the world to see on Social Media, that would compromise the investigation and future investigations of other incidents. Besides being in poor taste, I think it causes huge issues for regulation of the sport… I love to watch racing and the skill of these athletes (all of them from the driver to the pit crews) work their magic to compete. But, if evaluation telemetry data becomes the norm after incidents like this, and NASCAR expands their enforcement to the telemetry of the cars that could be provoking the other cars, we could see some unfortunate micromanagement scenarios in my opinion. But the only way to get an accurate picture of the cause is to evaluate all the data and factors leading up to the incident which would include any provocative action on the part of the other driver. I believe we should have sound judgement and not let anger fuel actions that could cause injury, so I’m not defending anyone. But, if the argument is to say one driver had good control of their car and could have avoided this incident you have to evaluate why Hamlin slid up into Elliot in the first place; which takes us down a very bumpy road in the future.

Personally, I believe Mr H gave his drivers permission (figuratively) in the speech he made directed at Chastain. I think Chase realized his season isn’t going well and he was tired of Denny being a bully and wasn’t going to tolerate it any longer at the risk of the poor season he is having.

Hopefully Denny and his racer Bubba, or even the 45 car don't hook anyone this year because they should get a year suspension. Be very careful when you call for dispensing suspensions. Because yours and Bubba's will be extreme. You seem to forget Bubba drove down 2 lanes to hook Larson, then physically attacked him, then laid hands on a NASCAR Official.

Bubba Wallace drove a half mile to get to Larson at Michigan from top to the grass. That's premeditated. What Chase did was reactionary. I realize you don't hook in the right rear. But I don't see in the long run this benefitting Denny. Sort of like Kenseth and Logano. So, how do you handle this in the future??? Don't hook the right rear. Just run over him on contact.

I was a DH fan until a couple years ago when he started giving a bunch of the new talents a tough time and became a massive heel of Nascar. Lately, Denny has been playing off his driving behavior against another driver too often, like he's Nascar's golden boy. Nascar needs to start warning and punishing Denny for intentionally pushing around others on the track and acting innocent every time something happens.

[@FrequencyManipulatedRecordings]

As far as my point of view. Hamlin squeezed Elliott up against the wall intentional or not. Chase had not fully recovered from that then Bradd Kaslowski unintentionally bumped him or took the air off the spoiler in order to avoid the wreck and as a result Elliott was wiggling and it appears to look like Elliott intentionally wrecked Hamlin. Also I believe Boyer's. Knee jerk reaction was a bit uncalled for as a result influenced everyone including Nascar to punish Elliott for simply trying to gain control of his car. All in all I believe both Elliott and Hamlin are innocent. Hamlin could of taken the high road with class and said rubbing is racing which would have ended this feud. What do you think?

[@billymartin6824]

Your point of view is 100% incorrect. You can see clearly on the replays that the #6 didn't bump Elliott until Elliott had already turned into Hamlin. The announcers pointed that out right away. The SMS data doesn't lie. Chase yanked the wheel hard left.

I think it's pretty obvious that Elliott got tired of Hamlin running him into the wall and turned into Hamlin. Maybe Elliott meant to just hit him in the door, not the quarter panel.

Elliott did his dirty work immediately, and kept it on the track. So much for the "Have at it boys" days. ;)
