    The Restart & The Loose Wheel...How Martinsville Was Lost

    Denny Hamlin and Jared Allen sit down to unpack a frustrating day at Martinsville Speedway, where Denny came up just short, and walk through exactly how it slipped away. From a loose wheel in the final run to a tough restart that put him behind the eight ball, plus a pivotal moment battling Ryan Blaney that may have changed everything, nothing is off the table. Meanwhile, Chase Elliott ends up in victory lane for Hendrick Motorsports and Chevy, and the guys dig into whether his aggressive third-and-fifteen strategy call is getting the credit it deserves. They also get into the bigger conversations from the weekend, including the Bubba Wallace and Carson Hocevar incident, ongoing frustration with caution lengths and TV breaks, and Justin Allgaier’s O’Reilly Auto Parts win. Things heat up in a Hall of Fame debate as Denny makes the case that lower series success shouldn’t automatically punch a ticket to NASCAR’s highest honor, while Jared pushes back with a more balanced take. And in true Martinsville fashion, the weekend also somehow included 46,000 hot dogs being eaten by fans. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    Was Darlington Everything We Wanted, or Just Overhyped?

    Denny Hamlin breaks down a chaotic day at Darlington and all the moments that led to things going sideways during the Goodyear 400. From tire falloff and fuel strategy to the split-second decisions teams have to make, he walks through how the race really played out and why drivers ended up in tough spots. Denny also shares his side of the contact with Erik Jones, what he saw from the driver’s seat, and how quickly it can unravel at a place like Darlington when you’re pushing it that hard. He gets into pit road situations too, and how timing, communication, and just being in the wrong place can turn into a bad day fast. Beyond the incidents, Denny zooms out and talks about how the weekend felt as a whole, including what went wrong for his team, how 23XI Racing approached things, and why some cars were able to charge forward while others stalled out. It’s a mix of honesty, frustration, and real insight into how these races actually unfold from inside the car. If you want to understand not just what happened, but why it happened, this is a good one to watch. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    A Win The Family Will Remember

    On this episode of Actions Detrimental, the guys break down a chaotic Las Vegas weekend that ended with career win No. 61 for Denny Hamlin and the No. 11 team.

They also talk about finding their rhythm again after a tough offseason, the special family moment in victory lane, and the goal of winning one of the next three races. The guys also weigh in on the tension between Ross Chastain and Daniel Suarez.

    Phoenix: Tires Wearing, More Horsepower… Old School NASCAR is Back

    Denny Hamlin earns his first top-five finish of the season in Phoenix, but the car still wasn’t as fast as Christopher Bell and Ryan Blaney. Denny explains why they had the best car in November but didn’t have that same speed this time around. He admits he’s checking the points after every race, but he isn’t worried yet because the season is still long. Sunday’s race featured more horsepower, failing tires, and racing that felt like old-school NASCAR. Denny explains why Goodyear isn’t to blame for the tire issues and why the teams may have pushed things too far. The guys also debate the classic strategy question once again: two tires or four? Plus, Denny is happy that “win and you’re in” is gone; they discuss whether Chase Briscoe’s title hopes are already in trouble, preview why Darlington could turn into complete chaos, and Denny reveals he’s going fishing at Celine Dion’s later this week.
