Nobody Brakes to Avoid a Wreck Anymore

Denny Hamlin is back for another episode of Actions Detrimental, and there’s a lot to unpack after a very wet weekend at Loudon.

Denny gets into the wet-weather racing, NASCAR’s decision to throw the competition caution, and whether the teams should have just been left to figure out when to change tires. He also breaks down the Hocevar-Zilisch incident, Connor’s rough day, and why the move to Hendrick could be a really good thing for him in the long run.

Then there’s Denny’s own race. He explains the late-race strategy, why he stayed on the bottom, and why he didn’t take two tires when it looked like that might be the move to win the race. The codewords make another appearance too, and Jared has decided they need a whole board game theme now.

With Daytona up next, Denny thinks we could be in for a chaotic one. He also takes a look at the playoff picture, where things stand between SVG and Ryan Preece, and what’s going on with Byron and Bubba as the playoffs get closer.
