Denny Hamlin Opens Up Like Never Before 

Great conversation! We might be biased, but we think Denny is pretty great. 😊 11/10

Met Denny at this years Coca Cola 600 and he signed my little brothers hat (along with every other fan asking for an autograph) even got a video of the whole interaction! Forever will appreciate Denny for taking the time for everyone in that 95 degree weather one of my favorite memory’s from any sporting event I’ve ever been to

I like Denny. I'm in my 70's and have followed him since he was a pup. Hell of a driver. Good business man. Great family man. Great conversation Kenny.

We need more drivers and owners to speak up. Thank you Denny . Great show Kenny

I got to meet Denny at Kansas he was walking to his car he turned around and gave me a fist bump then won!! Was really awesome👌🏼💪🏼👊🏼

I am one of those guys that was talked about here who started listening to Denny's podcast. He has totally changed my mindset on him and I love to hear about things from driver perspective from an all time great.

Denny Hamlin is one of my favorite drivers in the cup series.❤

One of the best yet

Wow!! Kenny this might get me back to watching NASCAR. Denny is great and so are you Kenny 🏁💯👍

Enjoyed it Kenny, thanks!

Denny is my favorite driver !

This man created the bracket challenge, hell yes they listen.

ok dang it now i like denny lol he is good ,good luck taking that from him

Denny is on fire with things he is saying about NASCAR and the charter system NASCAR you better start listening to theses drivers and teams.

I don't really follow Nascar. But I follow Kenny. I watch him everyday he posts. I feel this is a positive way to get my Nascar now. Don't get me wrong. I love Nascar. But I love the honest way this channel supports our sport. Thanks Kenny. My wife is a huge Denny Hamlin fan. So got to watch this together.

Good interview Kenny class act let's go.

great one love this convo

Enjoyed this conversation so....Denny is very interesting........

Dennis and the Herminator

Great episode Kenny

Epic interview of all times!!!

Very nice interview, Congrats kenny, and lets go Denny i am your fan

Denny's dad comes in the CVS store i work at in Stanley NC. He is so cool. I love to see him walk in. His mom comes in ever now and then. They just so cool! I never saw Denny come in yet if he does im asking for a autograph😁

I've never liked Denny because as a rookie getting his whole pit team fired for what he actually did that day turned me against him. But I do listen to his show and gain insight to the racers side of things

Denny makes NASCAR exciting. Many of the other drivers are like "librarians". Too quiet, dull. Keep it going, Denny. Get that championship!

Great show, Herman!! IMO, there's a group of 4 or 5 guys that could go out and start a new league... Jordan, Hamlin Dale, Jr., Marks and Smith, if things don't go the way they want them to.

Just became a Denny fan. Liked his f u attitude. But the kids... And seeing his personality. 😊

Great show, fellas. I just finished it and you boys are spot on. This is what NASCAR and the fans both need to hear. Love it!

this oughta be a good one!

Actions Detrimental changed my mind. Now I’m team 11

I agree with Denny the sport of NASCAR needs changes in order to grow the sport of NASCAR what are you waiting for let's go NASCAR.

I may not always like Denny but you can’t not respect the career he’s had .. one of the best

This is a long one folks but worth the time to watch to the end.. King George Speedway in Virginia is a great asphalt kart racing track ran by great people I think if we want to keep Racing alive tracks like King George Speedway is where it starts. All I’m saying is they could use some help. But they’d never ask for it. I know this is a long shot but hey maybe someone important will read it. Great conversation Kenny!

Hi Kenny, the AEROSMITH RHYTHM guitarist you mentioned is Brad WHITFORD.... NOT Whitfield... Keep on Rockin' brother!

The Best Kenny Conversation out there, well done!

Really great job Kenny! I enjoyed this interview very much.

Thanks for conducting such a great conversation. I wanna more of that 😂💯🤘

Not a fan of Dennys but I will say he’s great for the sport, not only on the track but trying to push NASCAR forward.

Best episode yet.

thanks for these kenny! they usually git right to the guts of nascar at some point.

Who cares if he wins a championship or not, most are flukes (ahem...last year). The amount of trips to victory lane is all that matters imo.

racing.... life, needs everybody. If everyone was the same, nothing would be exciting or fun or challenging. Bring on the diversity, bring on the characters, bring on the challenges. Racing... Life.... sorts itself out.... DEAL WITH IT. LOL. Kenny you are such a wonderful human, and a wonderful interviewer. Denny, thank-you for who you are, and what you bring to Racing regardless of the pushback and grit.

Great interview!!! I'm 71 love auto racing watched NASCAR for decades been to many races.This was a very informative episode Learn a lot about Denny rooting for him to get his Championship I'm Kyle Larson. I like to watch these 2 racers go at it. Denny, you do talk some sh*t but you back it up. "I beat your favorite drive," It made me lmao But like you do, respect your father's wishes. Nascar needs to resolve this problem. With equal shares of revenue. It's only right But f--k it, we know now big business greed works Ana ☮️☯️

There is a solution to the charter nonsense. All the team need to get together and boycott the championships races. Let them try to run the "show" without any of the cup contenders or the other guys there. Nascar needs to be made to understand that they have no "show" without the big-name drivers. I'm not going to watch 2nd tier drivers and pay what they want for tickets. At some point they will get a clue or go out of business.

there's a shit ton of young guys comin' up that are crazy good for their age. this is a good conversation! hell. they're all good!

This was a well done informative interview. I wish NASCAR would move more to the center. Maybe if the drivers don't show up and they encourage the fans to stop watching as well, it would get NASCAR's attention.

You two could have a tv show called pot stirrers

Denny Hamlin's my favorite driver Kenny Wallace my favorite RU-vid channel

Especially in this stupid ass format. Exactly! I finally agree with something Hamlin said. The chase is luck not how good of a driver you are.

Is the France family in a financial position that would allow them to walk away and simply write off the loss? Any chance they're just tired of it all?

Kenny powers does it again

Practice makes perfect!

Kenny enjoy your show very much In the early years you were too wild for me but as you have aged the true you has came out You have shown to be very loyal, truthfully, caring and honest person that anyone would be glad to call you a friend Keep up being you

Chevy has already made a play for Corey Day cause Jr put him in the late model

14:23 There goes any future cabela’s / basspro cosponsorship

Take a page out of Brad Sweet and Kyle Larson handbook start your own series

At 1:14.27 Dennis talking about pain to move negotiations. This is when all team agree to no show up one weekend. THAT will be pain for NASCAR. But I also am a realist and it will cause pains for the teams and the teams are unwilling to accept that pain to leverage their position.

K Dub, can we get chapters on the longer videos?

After watching this, i have gone through and looked at a lot of the comments and it seems to be mixed, a lot of people "Hate" Denny. I must ask the question: Why? I really don't have a favorite driver per se`. I just like to see good racing. Like Denny said, anyone can just go out there and take people out to win races, but the thing is doing that is not racing. Now i have drivers i don't care much for, and those are the guys that have a reputation of initiating those events. Without naming any names, we all pretty much know who those drivers are. I have no respect for that stuff. What i do have respect for is guys that can drive and win without resorting to that kind of mentality. But you Denny "Haters", or any other driver "Hater' out there, just why? I don't get it. Hate is a very strong word, and a lot of you haters out there act as if he did something personally to you, which he has of course never done. I just don't understand it. We all have things we love or "Hate" about NASCAR including myself, but i have never had "Hate" for any driver. What i do have respect for is is not only his skill, but also the cajones to put it all out there as most drivers won't, or are being told not to tell it how it really is out of fear of retaliation by NASCAR in some way. Good interview Kenny, they always are!! And Denny, mad respect, and thank you for being open and honest as best you can be in your position, you do that better than most bub!! 👍

Nascar need to wake up and get this charter thing done!!! Nascar on it's own got their new deaL with TV for 8+ billion. Well you just got showed up to be foolish because the NBA just signed a new deal for 76 billion!!!! What a huge difference!!!

i dont' if you guys remember but teams have boycotted against nascar in the past for things they did not like... during the races.. .

Kenny!, lol. A little story, Denny was remodeling that house beside Joe Gibbs house and he is rarely there, all the toilets were taken out of the house, I had to piss (about 11:00 am) I can't hold it any more, so I went outside a basement door in the trees between his and Joes house. Zip up and turn around, Denny is standing in the door way watching me. What do I say? ......Hey what's up? I did the full house security system. Later Denny had me enter the master security code. I have enterterd over 8 thousand security codes.

How well defined is a "squeeze"? Do all parties agree on the limits? Those guys clearly see "lane lines" that we don't. Do they all see the same lines?

Corey Day is the real deal

Denny is my driver Kenny don't let your rental car run out of gas in pocano

I agree with Kenny but NASCAR is greedy what worked 50 years ago will not necessarily work today!

Get him herman

Morning

Awesome interview! NOT a denny fan, but Kenny you might have turned me into one. Maybe if 11 stops being a hypocrite on the track, id root for him 😮

I had to pause this great conversation to say this. I find it baffling Denny brings up "the problem" people have with him is moving Larson 3-4' up the track, like it was just one time. I don't think anyone cares. I think it's the time he's taken Larson out multiple times and always has a BS excuse to justify it. And when the 5 has the opportunity to do it back, he tries to pass him clean, sometimes settling for 2nd. And then, when Larson does push back and move Denny up the track, like a couple weeks ago, what was Dennys response? He starts banging on the 5 under yellow. He's the epitome of dishing it out and not being able to take it. He's being very hypocritical. Very bullyish attitude. He's explaining this how he races. I'm gonna do it my way and if you don't like it, so what, but by God, if it's done to me, you're wrong! Great interview and my opinion of DH has changed for the good but this part is the part that rubs me the wrong way. Just my opinion, or unless Denny is the only one who is allowed to have one. Back to the conversation.

Damn, almost got the holeshot!

Is this really Denny Hamlin or is this AI Kenny

First time agreeing with Denny! Especially on the Charters.. the teams needs to publicly state they will pick and choose which tracks, since they are only “contracted employers “ and can race anywhere when no contract gets signed. I would prefer All upper NASCAR management fired and new blood with new thinking come in… out with Jim, in with Ben!

Who got the money that all the teams paid the 1st time for these charters

Please have one withJoey Logano. I'm the same about fish and seafood- no thanks. Seafood critters are all bottom feeders and not kosher too. The smell and texture of fish is just a no go for me.

hope Kyle Larson does a nice Danny Hamlin move for the win this week at Pocono because he deserves it. its funny to see him cry scared about Larson finally doing something against him.

Brad WhitFORD 😅

I already vented but Jim France is not growing the sport like NFL Chief! Fact that he doesn't understand, fans will follow after ya'll strike and fight for your rights!!!

who is denny ? whats his real name??? asking for a friend

Dale jr just being dale jr brings in followers whatever he does just not with dirty mo

My question to Hamlin is how many championships has your actions garnered you?

At this rate, it will take a month to finish watching this video. The longest I can stand Denny is about 3 minutes.

A true rivalry develops and isn't announced. A true rivalry is intense and requires a level of dislike and disrespect that Denny and Kyle don't have. This "rivalry" is just something created to try and sell tickets. Its actually degrading the sport to me.

Denny she looks 7 not 11

All them great stats and wins but the main one no championship!!!!

Sorry, Kenny, but 🤮

Chandler Smith is just as good…

The funny thing is that the charter was never meant to be there forever. Also you are replaceable. There are thousands of drivers and if the charters go and you can build your own cars there will be teams coming in. Denny should have never bought a CUP Team if he is worried.

Denny will never be as good of an all around driver as Kyle.

Wallace is sucking up to Hamlin big time.

The new car is junk.

Now Denny wants to have a meeting with Larson. It's too late for that. Everything was fine all those times Denny used up Larson without repercussions. For a win or not. Now Denny pushed Larson too many times and hes pushing back. Now it's time to have a meeting.

The irony. Not sure if it him, Lagono and or Bush but they all take the cake as some of the most hated NASCAR drivers to have existed. All in the same time frame no less. Why did NASCAR lose so many fans because teams indorsed crap individuals like this that have this self entitled ego. Wasnt till Larson Brisco and some the few other young guns that brought some dignity back the the sport. Dale would probably rolling over in his grave seeing these fluffers on track.

Karen Hamlin turns drivers he can't beat with talent

I call bullshit on this one (11)

deep down Hamlin is just a dirty driver. He's just a choker ... he will choke again this year...

Psychoamlin will never win a championship! He does not have the mental toughness or "championship mindset" to get it done! He will take himself out as always! It says alot when you get boo'd at what you say is your homie track. Chumpion forever!!

Last time i talked crap about denny i got kicked off X. Forever. So on top of denny being spoiled rich punk kid. He also hates free speech and definitely will have yours taken away.

Denny Hamlin is the definition of an unlikable hypocrite. When 99% of the crowd boos you every week during driver intros you know you're doing something wrong.

In my opinion Denny is also a bully nothing is ever his fault! He complanes about other drivers but NEVER admits when he screws another driver.
