Is Emotional Driving Hurting More Than Helping?

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.
