Denny Hamlin Claims Richard Childress Door-Slammed JGR Rental Car
On the latest episode of Actions Detrimental with Denny Hamlin, Hamlin tells the tale of a wild story in the race to get back to the airport following last Sunday’s Straight Talk Wireless 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
According to Hamlin, Joe Gibbs Racing had a full police escort back to the airport, but Richard Childress didn’t feel like waiting for the escort to pass by him before working his way to the airport. So, Childress forced his way into the police escort line.
However, a JGR employee in one of their rental cars refused to back down, and Hamlin says Childress turned into the door of the JGR rental car.
"What did Richard Childress do? He hung a left, [and] destroyed the side of the car," Hamlin said. "He did, he turned left, I witnessed, we were right behind it. I’m like, ‘Oh my god, did he just, he did.’ And I was like, ‘Jared pull up, pull up to the car.’ The right side of the JGR car was destroyed and Richard he just stayed in the gas. I mean, hung a left on them and just doored the s--t out of our car. I couldn’t believe it.”
