Denny Hamlin known as out NASCAR’s officiating following the YellaWood 500 at Talladega Superspeedway over the weekend.
In the course of the newest episode of his Actions Detrimental podcast, the veteran wheelman acknowledged his beef with the best way NASCAR has gotten concerned within the final couple of playoff races, believing there’s already sufficient exterior components at play every week, we don’t want the game’s governing-body over-officiating every race.

“It’s simply one among many, and it makes it exhausting to take a seat right here and preserve a impartial opinion about it, as a result of it simply doesn’t make sense on why typically it’s a penalty, typically it’s not. It simply is dependent upon — it makes you consider that there’s bias in our collection, and whether or not it’s true or not, that’s the notion, and typically notion is actuality.”
No matter NASCAR’s officiating, the veteran wheelman is in a strong place within the playoff standings although, 30 factors to the great heading into the ultimate race of the Spherical of 12 on the Charlotte Roval.
