Denny Hamlin Just Won Pocono Again, and He’s Got Thoughts
Denny Hamlin is back on Actions Detrimental after winning at Pocono, and apparently winning three straight races is just “a good run” now. Denny breaks down how the No. 11 team got it done, why Pocono fits him so well, and why he says their advantage is earned, not unfair. He gets into the strategy, the restarts, the qualifying piece, the final stage, and why Toyota has everyone’s attention right now. Then Denny gets into the qualifying metric debate and, shocking no one, he has thoughts. He explains why he does not love the idea of random qualifying draws, why he thinks some teams need to stop blaming the format, and why “randomness is not sports.” Plus, Denny reacts to Zane Smith’s restart move, the Austin Hill/SVG/Josh Berry crash, Legacy Motor Club’s recent speed, the playoff bubble, SVG’s next two weeks on road courses, the Josh Berry/Wood Brothers news, and the Michael Jordan comments that gave him a little extra fuel this offseason. Also in this episode: confetti gun chaos, Travis worrying about putting a Denny Bros sticker on his Kia, San Diego expectations, road course survival goals, Knicks talk, and Justin Allgaier locking into the Xfinity playoffs.

There’s A New Restart Merchant
Fresh off another Michigan win, Denny Hamlin breaks down how a day spent fighting dirty air and running near 30th turned into a trip to Victory Lane. He explains the adjustments that changed everything, the Stage 2 run that put him back in contention, and why he knew he had the field covered before the final restart in the latest NASCAR Cup Series race. Then it's on to the chaos. Denny gives his take on the late-race wrecks, Carson Hocevar's aggressive driving style, and why "taking a chill pill" might actually make drivers faster. He also shares his thoughts on race craft, patience, and the challenge of balancing speed and survival when everything starts happening at once. Denny also reflects on career win No. 63, what it means to continue climbing NASCAR's all-time wins list, and why doubters throughout his career may have helped him more than they hurt him. Plus, Denny talks about staying up until midnight to rewatch his own win, dreams up a full-blown Denny Bros. campground takeover at Richmond, and shares plenty of stories and laughs from another memorable NASCAR weekend.

From First to Last... Then Last to First
Fresh off his Nashville victory, Denny Hamlin is back on Actions Detrimental to break down one of the wildest weekends of the season. The biggest story? A bet between The Denny Bros and the No. 45 team that escalated far beyond its original low-stakes beginnings. What started as friendly trash talk turned into a full-blown competition, with the stakes getting higher throughout the weekend and bragging rights hanging in the balance. Denny also walks through his race-winning performance, from fighting through the field with a car that wasn't built for dirty air to executing the late-race restarts that put him in position to battle for the win. He explains what he was thinking during the closing laps, why he felt confident on the bottom groove, and how everything came together at the right time to deliver one of the most unlikely and rewarding victories of his career. The conversation also covers the decision to stay out on old tires, Nashville's unique racing characteristics, tire strategy, brake issues throughout the field, standout performances from across the garage, Ross Chastain's playoff outlook, Corey Heim's promotion to a full-time Cup ride with 23XI Racing, and what lies ahead as the series heads to Michigan.

Denny Was Right There… Again
Denny Hamlin reacts to a chaotic, rain-shortened Coca-Cola 600 weekend after another win slips away from the No. 11 team. From restart battles and losing clean air to pit road frustration and perfectly timed cautions, Denny breaks down exactly why Charlotte felt like another missed opportunity. He also shares his frustration over late-race circumstances, joking about the “poor lifelong Denny Hamlin fans” while explaining how close they were to finally closing one out. The crew also takes a moment to reflect on the heartbreaking loss of Kyle Busch, with Denny sharing memories from their longtime relationship as teammates and competitors and discussing the impact Kyle had on NASCAR and the garage as a whole. Later, Denny explains why NASCAR racing at intermediate tracks has improved so much recently, from tire wear to cleaner grooves and late-race comers and goers. The guys also break down Toyota’s strength at Charlotte, Daniel Suarez’s momentum-building win, NASCAR’s handling of the weather delays, and why Denny still believes the No. 11 team has championship-winning speed despite the recent finishes.

Dover Delivered, All-Star Format Missed
Denny Hamlin gets his second win of the season…only this one doesn’t actually count since it was the All-Star Race. Denny won the pole after spinning out before his qualifying lap even counted. Like most of the weekend, qualifying was a tad confusing. On Sunday, there was immediate carnage only adding to the confusion. The drivers who paid the biggest price were those locked in to the All-Star race like Chase Elliott, who technically didn’t race in the All-Star race. Plus, Denny has a new location suggestion for the All-Star race next year Thanks to Goodyear there was plenty of tire wear. Plus, low downforce and added horsepower had lots of drivers having control issues. On the track, Denny and the 11 team had the best car. The one area where Denny continued to struggle was restarts. He explains what’s going on and why he is determined to figure it out. On Saturday, Corey Day made a statement and the rumors about his future are flying around. The guys get into whether or not he is ready for Cup racing. For more content head over to our YouTube page https://www.youtube.com/@ActionsDetrimental Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Denny Tried To Warn Everyone
Fuel saving, cut line conversations, and Shane van Gisbergen putting on another road course masterclass. This week on Action Detrimental, the guys break down Ross Chastain running out of gas late, why Watkins Glen was still a solid points day, and how frustrating it can be to save fuel instead of driving all out. Plus, they dive into NASCAR’s road course coverage issues and why fans at home are missing too much of the action during some of the biggest moments of the race. They also debate whether a road course belongs in the playoffs, if anyone can eventually challenge SVG on these tracks, and why Connor Zilisch might be the next guy up. Add in the Ryan Preece penalty controversy, Kaden Honeycutt’s first Truck Series win, and a look ahead to All-Star Weekend, and there is plenty to unpack in this one. Let us know in the comments if you think NASCAR should keep a road course in the playoffs! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Should There Be a Penalty… Or Is Public Opinion Enough?
Chase Elliott gets the win, but Denny Hamlin was right there with him. What looked like a simple P2 on paper was anything but, as Texas turned into a full-on track position battle where one restart could make or break your day. Denny breaks down how it slipped away. From getting buried in traffic to timing that final restart just about as perfectly as possible… and still coming up short. Was staying out the right call? Why did passing become nearly impossible late? And how close he actually was to clearing the 9 for the lead. Then it’s everything else from a chaotic Texas weekend. Strategy gambles, pit road madness, and plenty for Actions Detrimental to sort through. Denny weighs in on the Kyle Busch situation, Preece vs. Gibbs, and the restarts that had everyone on edge. Plus, strong runs from Bowman, Bubba charging back through the field, and Spire showing real speed. We also dive into the points picture, where Tyler Reddick is in a league of his own, and what it’ll take for SVG to make a push. A runner-up finish, a lot of what-ifs, and a race that was one move away from a very different ending. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

How Denny Hamlin Would Fix Superspeedway Racing
Denny Hamlin is back on Actions Detrimental, breaking down a chaotic NASCAR Cup Series superspeedway race weekend, diving into the strategy, execution, and decisions that shaped the outcome. From green flag pit stops to fuel-saving and track position battles, Denny explains what really decided the race and why NASCAR superspeedway racing often comes down to timing just as much as speed. He also gets into what looked different from inside the car versus what fans saw on TV, and where the race started to swing out of control. Plus, first-time NASCAR Cup Series winner Carson Hocevar makes a breakthrough moment that has everyone talking, young drivers continue to shake up the field, and Denny shares his perspective on the future of NASCAR and the current superspeedway rules package. From team communication to bigger questions about race strategy and how these events are being won, this episode covers everything behind the NASCAR Cup Series weekend.
