Denny Hamlin Knew It Was Over Before Homestead

Denny dominated the regular season, but the championship slipped away once the Chase started. He gets honest about where it went wrong for the No. 11 team and how Kyle Larson and the No. 5 team got the job done on execution.

The guys also recap championship weekend at Homestead, where Caden Honeycutt and Justin Allgaier took home titles in the Truck and O’Reilly Series. They break down the no-caution call that went Allgaier’s way and debate whether he belongs in the NASCAR Hall of Fame.

Then the conversation turns to NASCAR’s bigger picture. Denny argues the sport’s problem isn’t the car or the format, it’s relevancy, and explains what it would take to bring in new fans. He also weighs in on what Dodge’s return with Kaulig Racing could look like in 2027.

Plus, Denny, Jared and Travis look ahead to the 2.4 Hours of LeMullets at the Freedom Factory, where Denny is trading his Cup car for a Crown Vic.
