Denny Hamlin tried to make some sense of his early incident with Kyle Busch throughout Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Sequence race at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
Throughout the newest episode of his Actions Detrimental podcast, Hamlin was nonetheless making an attempt to elucidate how he spun out after making contact together with his former Joe Gibbs Racing teammate, “I’ve regarded on the replay of me and Kyle 20 occasions. I nonetheless can’t determine what occurred,” he stated.
Evidently, no clear cause for the wreck taking place has come to Hamlin’s thoughts, however he’s making an attempt to decipher each replay to determine what went down.
“I used to be driving, and subsequent factor you recognize, I used to be sideways, and I used to be spun out. I couldn’t determine how the hell that occurred,” the NASCAR veteran said. “I didn’t even know, possibly I wasn’t simply paying consideration. Perhaps I used to be simply lulled to sleep, as a result of I didn’t have a automobile proper in entrance of me. I didn’t have one like, proper beside me. I had somewhat hole behind me. I simply, possibly I relaxed, down the immediately. I’m probably not positive. However I have a look at a number of angles and I’m like, ‘He got here up,’ after which I see one other one and I’m like, ‘I undoubtedly got here down.’ So it’s like, they each occurred, and it’s simply, when he bought tremendous near the left rear, it shot me even additional left, and I suppose I spun myself out. I’m probably not positive.
“However no hurt, no foul. It sucks as a result of dammit, I used to be within the high 5 of two levels in a row and didn’t get s— as a result of I bought wrecked.”
As Hamlin stated, it didn’t spoil the day for himself or Busch, however it’s nonetheless irking him that it went down, though he’s not blaming his former teammate and good friend for the incident.
“I’m questioning if I simply relaxed for a second,” Hamlin elaborated. “That’s the one factor I can consider, is that possibly I wasn’t — however I regarded. I actually did. I checked out my, am I monitoring the vehicles in entrance of me, as a result of you’ll be able to’t have a look at the yellow strains, or the white strains on the race observe, as a result of they, with that canine leg, they go this manner, after which they go that approach, it’s all tousled. However I’m wanting and I’m like, ‘I’m within the tire tracks of the automobile in entrance of me,’ however he’s within the tire tracks of the automobile in entrance of him once we make contact. So I couldn’t determine it out.
“It doesn’t matter, as a result of it did no hurt to me. Clearly, Kyle’s not making an attempt to wreck me on objective, and I’m clearly not making an attempt to wreck myself. So it’s simply as they are saying, one in every of them offers.”
Alas, there’s no dangerous blood between Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch, it looks as if it was simply a type of incidents that occur on the observe. Both approach, each had been in a position to proceed, and so they ran up entrance for a majority of the superior race we witnessed at Atlanta.
