Who’s at Fault for Denny’s Spin?

Denny Hamlin breaks down a rollercoaster weekend on Actions Detrimental, where he still manages to leave Sonoma as the NASCAR Cup Series points leader despite not having the finish he wanted. Splitter damage late in the race ruined what he felt was a strong day, but results elsewhere helped keep the No. 11 team on top. Before getting into the on-track chaos, Denny also recaps a hilarious prank involving a fake sponsor pitch and how it spiraled with the crew.

The conversation then turns to the big talking points from Sonoma, including the late-race crash involving Carson Hocevar and whether it was really anyone’s fault or just a chain reaction. Denny also looks at the playoff picture with drivers like Ty Gibbs, Christopher Bell, and Shane van Gisbergen continuing to make noise, plus what SVG’s consistency means for his chances to make The Chase. He wraps with bracket predictions, thoughts on Chicago after the tire test, and what to expect as the season continues to tighten up.
