Dale Earnhardt Jr. has shared his opinion regarding the recent exchange of words between Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch, a topic that has captured attention within the world of the NASCAR Cup Series.
Tensions have arisen after Hamlin, in his podcast Actions Detrimental, suggested that his former teammate, Busch, might be at the end of his competitive run at the top level. Hamlin indicated that in order to prove he deserves a spot in a competitive car next season, Busch needs to consistently outperform his teammate, Austin Dillon.
Despite the harsh words, Hamlin also acknowledged Busch’s talent, considering him one of the best drivers in NASCAR history. In response, Busch launched several criticisms at Hamlin during the weekend in Kansas, suggesting that Hamlin had been too hard on him and stating that he would be willing to make his life difficult on the track.
In his podcast Dale Jr. Download, Earnhardt noted that he believes Busch has not fully understood the position that Hamlin was trying to communicate. “I would bet he hasn’t seen the full video of Denny’s comments,” Earnhardt said. “He probably just got a text from someone saying that Hamlin is saying bad things about him.”
On the other hand, Earnhardt expressed his concern for Busch’s current situation, who has recently changed team directors and has experienced a series of problems with his performance. The journalist indicated that they initially seemed to have a good start to their season, but that the problems have been ongoing since then.
Finally, Earnhardt acknowledged Busch’s talent, recalling that he is a future Hall of Fame member, but emphasized that he is currently not experiencing his best moment within the championship.
