There is so much NFL on ESPN right now.

SPEAKER_4 (2:09)

Now, NFL Network is on the ESPN app. More football, more coverage, more ways to watch.

Football's on, all season long on ESPN and streaming on the ESPN app.

Denny Hamlin (2:23)

It's a self-policing sport. If you let the driver self-police, you have less of it. You have less of these guys doing this. That's why you can't promote the Brad and the Carson thing, and then in any way penalize Brad if he ends up wrecking them. I keep you out of, just take it on the chin.

And Carson, it appears he's willing to just go ahead and take it. And so, as he should.

Jared Allen (2:53)

The following is a production of Dirty Mo Media.

Denny Hamlin (2:58)

I believe that I've been a competitive for 20 years.

Opinions from tonight's podcast are strictly biased. You're going to hear it from my point of view. I'm a fighter.

SPEAKER_6 (3:13)

No, you are not.

Denny Hamlin (3:14)

The spoils of victory for Jared Allen.

SPEAKER_2 (3:17)

He's got better luck to drink and drink to win.

SPEAKER_6 (3:19)

I know you do.

Jared Allen (3:21)

Two trophies missing from your collection. A championship and the most popular driver.

Denny Hamlin (3:25)

Someone told me that their drinking game is when I say for sure. Yeah, and I've already said it.

Hey guys, welcome to Actions Detrimental after Gateway. Race number two of the chase. We had quite the race on Sunday. Lots of caution flags.

Jared Allen (3:47)

Lots. Was that a record?

Denny Hamlin (3:49)

No. 22, I believe, is the record.

Jared Allen (3:54)

Wow.

Denny Hamlin (3:54)

And that was, I believe that was Levigation Charlotte 2005 I was actually in that race.

Jared Allen (4:03)

Levigation Charlotte? What's Levigation Charlotte mean?

Denny Hamlin (4:08)

They ground the track. They called it Levigating.

So essentially, they were trying to smooth the racetrack. And they, so by doing that, they imagine like a claw. They just clawed the track and it chewed up the tires. And there was a caution like lots and lots and lots.

Jared Allen (4:27)

In 2005 though.

Denny Hamlin (4:28)

Yeah. I think I finished eighth that race.

Jared Allen (4:32)

Well, I was in fifth grade.

Wow. Probably. Maybe fourth.

Denny Hamlin (4:37)

Man.

Travis (4:38)

I was a junior in high school.

Denny Hamlin (4:41)

Wow. I'm old, apparently.

Kyle Larson breaks his...
