An experienced JGR pilot supports Kyle Larson’s straightforward answer to a biased observer in New Hampshire.
Denny Hamlin defends Kyle Larson’s criticism of his spotter during the NASCAR Cup Series race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Sunday
. The race was marred by rain delays, accidents, and heated radio exchanges. The two Cup champions had the most dramatic moments, with one expressing frustration with rivals and the other criticizing his spotter.
After a track collision with Denny Hamlin, Kyle Larson’s spotter criticized his own driver for allowing contact with the JGR veteran. Unsatisfied with the comment, the No. 5 HMS driver responded by telling his spotter, Monn, to “shut up.” Now, Hamlin, who was at the center of the drama, addressed the incident on his podcast.
Hamlin agrees with Kyle Larson and believes his spotter should have refrained from speaking. He argues that spotters often have biases in favor of their drivers, which may have influenced the criticism. However, Hamlin acknowledges that spotters need to support their drivers in certain situations.
The collision between Larson and Hamlin is a recurring occurrence on the track. Hamlin mentions that he and the No. 5 Chevy team often find themselves fiercely competing for the win, which leads to collisions.
The rivalry between the two drivers shows no signs of diminishing, as both are strong contenders for the championship this season. Additionally, they are competing for the coveted regular season championship, with only eight races remaining before the playoffs.
