Denny Hamlin unhappy with Joey Logano after being eliminated at Martinsville

The collision between Joey Logano and Ty Gibbs left Denny Hamlin fuming. He got eliminated from the playoff spots, and he didn't hold back with his comments after the race.

Many cars were involved in the collision, and the caution flag was thrown out. The incident did not help Hamlin; on the last restart, he was forced to start eleventh, which increased the gap between him and Blaney.

During the post-race interview, Hamlin expressed his displeasure over his elimination. Speaking to Fox's Bob Pockrass, he said:

“I mean, the only issue I really had was with Logano knocking out Ty (Gibbs) there, knocking to Ty into me, I just thought some more respect to be out there for guys that myself and the #12 we’re trying to earn a spot in the Final Four. And I thought that we deserved a chance to race it amongst ourselves and not have somebody else in there knocking cars around.”

Logano had already been eliminated from contention and had nothing to gain from the incident. Hamlin, on the other hand, was one of the drivers who was competing for the playoff spot.
