Denny Hamlin detailed a conversation he had with Joey Logano after an incident during Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series Xfinity 500 at Martinsville Speedway. The collision occurred when Logano attempted a three-wide move, impacting Hamlin and JGR teammate Christopher Bell, causing both to spin. Both drivers continued racing, finishing sixth and tenth, respectively.
In an episode of his 'Actions Detrimental' podcast, Hamlin stated Logano claimed he did not see Hamlin's car on the high side of Bell. Logano believed Bell was blocking his advance. Hamlin accepted Logano's explanation, noting visibility issues from Logano's perspective where Hamlin's car was not visible.
Despite this discussion, Hamlin's championship aspirations for 2026 appear slim. He trails leader Kyle Larson by 70 points in the standings. Winning the title would require a near-perfect performance at Homestead and significant struggles from Larson.
