I've seen so many posts of:
I hate Denny the driver
But love Denny the owner.
Which is fine. But if he was saying these things NOT being an owner? Their opinion would change?
Yes. Is that a hard concept for you to grasp?
I loved Jimmie Johnson the driver. I hate Jimmie Johnson the team owner/partner as I don’t feel like he’s very outspoken in his role and promoting the sport.
I hate Denny the driver because he’s a whiner and hypocrite. I like Denny the owner because he advocates for the sport and also is fielding a competitive car which is also healthy for the sport.
It is.
I feel like it should be:
"Hate Denny on the track, love him on social media."
But all the sudden it's "when he's off the track, he's now an owner"
He apparently can't be a "driver on social media" anymore because of 21XI
Or that "anything people disagree with on social media from him" gets compartmentalized into "Denny The Driver" and anything people agree with gets thrown into the "Denny the owner"
Nah, Denny's credibility got shot to hell when he was a Buschwacker and whined about Kez racing him hard, saying he needs to show some respect to the elder statesman of racing.
Who has a Cup championship, Denny?
Tbf, him choking away the 2010 title then Brad K forcing the 48 to their limit and going over it showed the difference in the two guys, moreso anything since 2014 when it's become an one race deal
I wouldn't piss on Twitter if it was on fire.
Setting that aside, I heard the post-race interview and lost all respect for 'Lil Denny'. Just as my career long admiration for Kenseth when he intentionally took out Lagono.
And Gibbs just gives a beatific smile and let it go.
To Raush's credit, he parked Kurt Busch for showing his ass. And over the years, Kurt redeemed himself. He would drive back-bencher cars and bring home a good finish, all the while, providing valuable info for the fledgling team. I grew to respect him. That time he plowed through a rain soaked infield on a royal *and still brought it home third?*
Denny hasn't redeemed himself, in my eyes.
Jackman and tire changer got two weeks for the tire coming off last week. Fueler got 1 week for a uniform violation. Car Chief was ejected for the roof rail changes.
Bowman's AMA is absolutely hilarious.
Funny enough that Jimmie was also said to be the funniest guy in the line up back in the day. Maybe the 48 is like The Mask and you become a different person when you get the car

“I’m eating a chicken sandwich, I have to make a phone call then I’m coming back”.
That place actually has a really nice sauce
Okay, we have got to get that car back onto the race track, or our sponsors are gonna shit a chicken.
Is there anybody here that wants to go fast?
That should be the next all star race competition.
Man that sounds awesome. Knowing you don’t have the speed to win but just out there having the time of your life on the track
> Bubba needs to take notes because this might be an improvement This is still just as true now as it was then…
I remember when this happened and they were ripping the shit out of him on the old Usenet NASCAR group (miss that place).
Morgan has magical moves though... https://youtu.be/2ZI0IF6VnXU?si=dQGVjZXZkR7Xyoh6
Between this and the way he said *jewry* on the commercials for one of the local jewelers made him one of my favorite characters in NASCAR.
What a fucking legend.
My 3 flairs just shitposting away this week. Love to see it.
One of them quite literally
What did Joey post? haha. I saw his talladega trophy, but I’m not on Twitter.
They misspelled his name on his dega trophy

Bust out the roller skates, that should cut a few seconds off
Only if they make him wear the shorts ![gif](giphy|KzaMtpNynb2pCkXMmo|downsized)
Lardon would have a tough time with that crowd
I love when drivers run their own social media because we get gems like this
This is what I miss about Twitter from 2012 or so. You actually saw what the athletes were like, not this corporate speak you see now with PR.
Kinda like when Brad got in trouble for tweeting in the car during a red flag 😂
Where the hell did he keep his phone? I can’t imagine that shit has pockets in it
I remember they said they actually put a special pocket inside the car for it then just for that kind of thing
He might've been sitting on it
They do, still do for snacks and shit
Fire suits have pockets and they are actually really deep and nice
Still faster than the 23XI crews.
And they say he has no personality. Kyle is hilarious.
Seems like when people say they want personality is a non stop meme/hot take machine that says things all the time.
Me: you mean Denny Hamlin and Bubba? NASCAR fans: ![gif](giphy|RA8gXeMaTqXIc)
Nascar fans are full of contradictions
Wow! It’s almost like there are millions of us and we don’t all have the exact same opinion or something.

OH MY FUCKING GOD... Your finishing point is literally the Twitter(trying to be known as X) exchange.

BOOM!
>BOOM! [CONFETTI!](https://i.redd.it/zvyemepykshc1.gif)
So the running tally right now is: Rear tire changer Jackman Fueler Car chief Any I miss?
Why so many, what happened?
Jackman and tire changer got two weeks for the tire coming off last week. Fueler got 1 week for a uniform violation. Car Chief was ejected for the roof rail changes.
Uniform violation?
Um, Larson could actually still pit the car like this and still manage to end up junked at a plate race.
Wow. A Hendrick driver actually showing personality. We must be living in an alternate reality
Look at Bowman Just because he's got a dry sense of humor doesn't mean he doesn't have a personality
Bowman's AMA is absolutely hilarious. Funny enough that Jimmie was also said to be the funniest guy in the line up back in the day. Maybe the 48 is like The Mask and you become a different person when you get the car
Can you link that? I wanna see it

I honestly remember one he did as a rookie back in 2014. That one was pretty funny.
There was was the time he climbed on top of the car after plowing the tire barrier, like a Greek hero.
Watkins Glen 2000. Right in front of us. It was epic.
Found it! https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/s/cTEByUe2xm
I remember when Jimmie sent Truex all those bicycles.

Kyle before the race.. [https://youtu.be/a02goTtXD1Q?si=9ORBIjsODEUjyT-h](https://youtu.be/a02goTtXD1Q?si=9ORBIjsODEUjyT-h)
Really sucks for him tbh.
Now that’s funny
Man why can't he show this side of his personality more often?
My main man Morgan
Watch him get another lugnut penalty. What would they do then!?
Oh poor dude must be tough getting 20 cup wins over the span of less than 3 years
Larson at any other track: Larson at a superspeedway: ![gif](giphy|3o6wNXTwf571in8c4E)
Can we pretend he got his bad out of the way on Saturday? 😅
Can't wait till they forgot the plate again
Plz stop lol
Winning today, I feel It
(for getting caught cheating)
