It Got UGLY Between Denny Hamlin and Marcus Smith Last Night 

Who eats a Krabby Patty at 3 AM. Patrick has an alarm set and a Krabby Patty under his bed, LOL! Oh Boy, 3 AM!

Love it....

Denny Hamlin is the biggest joke of nascar and he will never win a cup and when he is retired he will be forgotten

@@FathomMane Forgotten? Not for a long time within the NASCAR community.

@@FathomManehate to say this cause I hate the guy overall But he will be a hall of famer with or without a championship

@@FathomManeis Mark Martin forgotten?

😂👏👏

lmaoooo

😂

and like richmond dh will win this

Nice one

Omg that's the best response I've seen

100% agree. I also respect Denny more for his off-track duties.

I actually share that a little

I think that is where I have ended up as well. (I was never a 11 fan on track)

Fair enough

When he’s right, he’s right

For sure. Like I said in the video I bet they haven't seen eye to eye in a while.

Im having trouble feeling sorry for some of these owners who have outside money and if they’re hurting so badly then maybe they should cut back on the amount of teams they own.

Agreed! I dont feel sorry for owners who create their own problems.

​@linhunnicutt6556 to an extent I agree. You don't need a state of the art garage that 23XI is building, and they don't need to expand beyond 2 cars and buy up another charter all while living in a luxurious house with his car in it. However the tracks get half of that money and most don't invest in it like they should to bring more folks in. Today's market, most want an experience not just a ticket. That's with any big event. Track owners shouldn't just have 1 or 2 races a year and then let it sit dormant. So I see what you're saying just the track owners need to do more, and some have.

​@@linhunnicutt6556yeah, like how Gordon was bitching a year ago how HMS is hemorrhaging from lack of sponsors. Clearly, putting Rick's own dealership money in it doesn't cut it today just like it didn't cut it back in the 80's either. Just cut that fourth team that you already know is never going to have any real sponsors

Hamlin would argue with a mirror if he felt it would get him more attention. Appropriate that he owns the #45.

Bristol dirt completely gone but still love Bristol concrete

The Bristol before the progressive banking was better

Nah it's cause nascar got way less popular and no one was going to the spring race to the point where it almost wasn't profitable lmao

​@@austinking9912yeah but you gotta admit, the most recent race with the resin on the track and the tire wear was somethin'

That’s how a non-champion would act. Classless and short tempered

@@GASparky217 I rather he be "classless" than kiss the ass of an executive

Denny started this by assuming the paving issues were budget related. I thought Denny was smarter than not to make assumptions but apparently not.

@bobbbobb4663 So what IS the issue? Do they even know? He never addressed the actual problem. He just started throwing the "lol no championships" insult at him like a child. Not saying Hamlin handled it perfectly, but I thought Marcus was smarter than that.

@@MongoJoe7863 No idea what the issue is but for Denny to speculate on an issue that he has no knowledge shows his lack of intelligence especially as a car owner.

being fast in a Toyota gets you most of the way there. Carl Matt and Martin are the only ones that haven't been turned into villains because of nationalism from half a century ago.

Wilder than the tire situation in Bristol? Okay!

​@@james_chatman he said in Sonoma's history. Never said anything about bristol

I’m right there too that is very true

Being a Napa native, I third this. ☝️

They just don’t understand

Ya but the contractors know when not to pave

@@stevealber9779they have a tight repave schedule between track scheduled events, that also gives the asphalt the proper amount of time to cure before the heavy ground pounding classes come to town.

except that denny hamlin is a little rich kid that had everything handed to him too so not really

@@augustusappling139and DH is more successful on his own achievements. Marcus is living off daddy rep. North Wilksburo is Dale Jr pet project so he don’t even deserve that credit. SMI needs to fix Texas terribly

​@@brandonmccain4031nah, just close TMI. it's too far gone, there is no fixing it. Let the ways of capitalism which created it be the same ways that finish it off, just cut off that moneypit

​@brandonmccain4031 Texas has actually put on some decent races with the new car and they seem to be getting better every year as the pavement ages. I think it puts on one good race a year for the next 10 years of they just leave it alone.

@@RooneyMac nah then I won’t have a track to go to close

This!

That's what it looks like to me

I think everyone knows that Denny jumped the start, but dont blame him for NASCAR's failure to enforce its' rules!

I am not a Denny fan by no means. But Denny didn’t break the rules anymore than Martin did. Martin was lagging back a little bit to get a better start. That also is against the rules.

@@gone2bch in my opinion denny broke the rules when he involved a person's dead relative into the conversation which is a low blow in the worst way possible

Yes.

Exactly what I was thinking 😅

LOL that was the first thought that came to mind when I saw Marcus's comments. Either that or sleep deprivation, because some people can make some dumb decisions at night then regret them the next day 😂

​@@Tire24been there, done that 😅

Exactly what I thought 😂 I gotta think Marcus was on something

To you

​@@BkBk-gy6vr you have 0 wins

@@TheUncancelable1 Same with you and everyone else on here. That was the most lame comment it means nothing. You’re just like Denny lame and unoriginal.

Well, Denny hasn't got anyone mad enough that they commit seppuku on track yet so Tony is still the GOAT

​@@wingracer1614this ☝️

tony

Tony because he has a couple of championships to back it up 😎

@@southernmermaid2526 and Tony has championships with his own team. He is also the only driver who has won an Indy championship and NASCAR Cup championship. Keep going, okay, we add Midget, USAC Triple Crown and IROC championships. And has won NHRA Top fuel rounds, has won sprint car races, and has a higher K/D ratio.. 😂 So Denny is a wannabe, when compared to Tony who has been there and done that, and has the souvenir T-shirts.

Get off your knees

@@FlungFluPanda who am I blowing?

Any brand new pavement job I ever seen they don't spray anything down on the road base but before 2nd layer they do even if mile the top layer

I know absolutely nothing about paving, but my first thought was that it looked dry under the new pavement, no adhesive. I had the same thought as you. So that makes me wonder; what other parts of the track are like that and how much of the new track surface will come up?

Bingo! The tack coat didn't bind to the lower layer, so it only penetrated the upper layer. If the layers aren't bonded well, the upper layer will definitely debond and ravel out.

This is most definitely a bonding issue with the tack coating layer that doesn't appear to exist on the ground binder course. When you grind down an existing surface to resurface, the tack coating is key to the bonding. Otherwise this happens when large shearing forces from heavy braking force are applied. Usually from bus or truck traffic. So if the contractor "missed a spot" they're to blame. However if the client didn't elect to apply the tack coating at all, they're to blame.

To be completely fair, one of the first things Marcus said was that Denny could call him and ask why it was happening rather than just assuming. I think Denny probably should have done that. Might have been educational for him and for us. But like you said, Marcus could have also just publicly explained the issue right then and there.

@@JBAlternate To be completely completely fair, doing so would not have addressed the issue of being called ignorant in public. By the same logic, Marcus could have called Denny and discussed it in private.

For sure, marcus seems a little soft .. You gotta be able take criticism.. And not expect positive vibes all the time , to protect your own ego..

​@@deliriouswhome1 that lesson is one Hamlin should also learn. 2 babies screaming at each other is what I see.

@@wingracer1614denny a man baby too get over yourself

Yes lol

People listen to that?

True, but he's never wrong if you listen closely. Man is never out of pocket, he brings facts and data. You can disagree, but you cannot disprove his assertions.

Like all paving companies.

You're 100% right about NASCAR fans. I just saw a video where Bubba walked up to Kyle Larson post-race and apologized and they accused him of trying to get some TV time

The problem is that Mark Martin and Dale Jr don't have the same personality as Hamlin. Unlike them, Hamlin comes off as a petty, narcissistic, self absorbed jerk who never wants to listen to others and will simply step his foot down and try to keep any criticism off him. Martin and Jr were more calm and gentle, always just trying to do good for their fans and stay out of trouble. Its easier to make fun of Hamlin in the sense of "he can't win a championship cause he's too full of himself"

Dale tries to be friends with everyone because he has too big of a brand. He doesn't want beef both because it could hurt his brand, and it could take some names off his guest list for the podcast. The more people he has a positive professional relationship with, the better it is for him.

@@gamez4420 and the better it is for the sport to get those perspectives

@@NASCARDAWGYT Let's not forget that Marcus Smith put forth the money to back Dale Jrs effort of reviving North Wilkesboro, from the ashes of NASCAR burning it to the ground.

Smi and nascar are both crappy organizations

Which could have been a bad decision by the contractor and not by the track owner.

@@jeremyharper3462 To be fair, you get what you pay for. Maybe hire a competent paving company.

@mattthacker9120 lol!!! You don't have any idea who they hired or what they paid, or if they paid what they should have. I'm glad you've never effed up at work. I know i have, very infrequent, but it's happened and i fixed it at my expense. How do you determine they are competent before they do the job? You don't think they checked references? Maybe perused a few yelp reviews? And beyond that, competent companies can still crap the bed. The test is do they make it right and can they do so in time for the scheduled race? Let's all give em a chance, whoever it was that dropped the ball, and see if they recover the fumble and score.

Is this your first day? You’ve described NASCAR fans perfectly.

@@DaveGmehaha good point

Id argue they hate Denny the driver, but like the real Denny

@@carlosortiz1932 that’s a good point too.

There's nobody more argumentative than a NASCAR fan, even with themselves, lol.

To wet like inches

Denny should have posted a picture on x with all three rings on one hand.

Damn right - They mean something- championship doesn't mean shit since they changed the format...

​@@Mike-jv4rzyes your entire season of work rely on a few races.😢

​@@Mike-jv4rzwith race formats these days, the Daytona 500 ring isn't much either. I mean guys like Austin Dillon and T.Baine have won races on super speedways.😮

@@NeedsLessWedge That's why all those grandfather clocks actually mean more to him

😂😂😂 love it!!

She has a big mouth too. Bet she been put down on the pavement a lot thicker than the repave job. Talking shit about Truex was none of her business

That COTA. Circuit Of The Americas in Austin TX

Exactly. Said this in my video on the argument.
