Within the ongoing state of affairs between Joe Gibbs Racing teammates Denny Hamlin and Ty Gibbs, it seems that neither facet is backing down.
Hamlin spoke candidly on his podcast, ‘Actions Detrimental,’ once more asking the crew to become involved and get a deal with the rising tensions. However the place this turns into difficult is the truth that it is not simply one other disagreement between teammates, as Ty is the grandson of JGR founder/proprietor Joe Gibbs.
2014 NASCAR Cup champion Kevin Harvick brazenly puzzled on his ‘Blissful Hour’ podcast if this drama will derail Denny Hamlin’s 2025 title hopes. Hamlin is the winningest Cup driver with out a title in NASCAR historical past, and he has extra wins this season (5) than anybody else on the grid.

“That was intentional,” remarked Harvick as he watched a replay of the wreck. “There is not any hiding that that wasn’t intentional … You would have worn out all three of them (Christopher Bell was proper behind them). This is the query that I’ve: Is that the second that derails Denny Hamlin’s 2025 championship?
“That call now could be a choice that it’s important to speak about subsequent week. It is a choice that can divide the store. It is a choice that reveals lots of people that you just simply do not actually have plenty of respect … When he made that call, it may very well be the second that derail’s Denny Hamlin’s championship chase for 2025. As mature as Denny Hamlin has turn out to be and as a lot of a frontrunner as he has turn out to be, I am actually shocked that he selected that motion in that second in the course of the playoffs.”
Hamlin has claimed a number of instances that he did not imply to deliberately flip Gibbs, in a wreck that in the end ended the No. 54’s day.
Gibbs, who spent the early a part of the week visiting the White Home in Washington D.C., determined to repost the clip that included Harvick’s above feedback onto his Instagram story. He did not say the rest within the publish, merely together with a finger pointing emoji, directed in direction of Harvick’s phrases.
It alerts that Gibbs and Hamlin are nonetheless worlds aside on this difficulty, and the very last thing JGR wants is one other run-in between these two or it would show Harvick proper and 100% ‘derail’ Hamlin’s 2025 title run.
