Dale Earnhardrt Jr. recently talked about how NASCAR drivers have a greater influence when vocal about any series of developments in the sport. He then hailed Denny Hamlin in particular for voicing his opinions regarding any subject of discussion.

NASCAR driver turned commentator Dale Jr. was in awe of Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) driver Hamlin's busy schedule in the NASCAR season. The #11 JGR driver is a full-time Cup Series driver, owner of the 23XI Racing team, and an occasional host for his podcast Actions Detrimental with Denny Hamlin.

In a recent conversation with Rubbin is Racing, Dale Jr. claimed "it's exhausting" to be an all-rounder as the 43-year-old Hamlin.

"Denny is up for it, Denny's got he is Denny's got a personality where he's in it. The racing and this is his life, and I mean not to say it isn't for the other drivers but it's exhausting to do what Denny does and he has his hand in every cookie jar right He's a driver, he's a car owner, he's in the podcasting, so he's sort of media and certainly you know his takes on his show get a ton of attention. So he flexes that muscle on all those fronts and so uh that can be really exhausting," Dale Jr. said. (47:01)

Dale Jr. believes that the NASCAR community reacts to the opinions of drivers more whenever topics involving any series of events take place. The 49-year-old also said that he would first hear what the full-time drivers have to say before any other member of the sport as they are the ones behind the wheel and can give insights about the performance of the car or any update at the oval tracks.

Two-time Daytona winner Dale Jr. also offered a solution for other drivers who would like to voice their opinions anonymously.

An "anonymous" project for NASCAR driver's unfiltered opinion by Dale Earnhardt Jr.

Recently, Dale Earnhardt Jr. backed Denny Hamlin's candidness in sharing unfiltered opinions concerning developments in the sport.

Dale Jr. believes that many drivers of the community are "content" with their racing schedule throughout the season, except for Denny Hamlin who is a full-time driver, owner, and podcaster. Earnhardt Jr. then continued the conversation with the hosts of Rubbin is Racing by suggesting a solution for other drivers to voice their opinions.

"If you could get them in a room anonymously. It'd be interesting to hear their real opinions. If there was a way for Denny to do that he should think about doing that sort of have some Anonymous driver poles cuz he has them. I say that because they are all together collectively communicating on a group chat," Dale Jr. said. (47:45)

This suggestion would aid drivers who shy away from getting vocal about opinions publically and are not able to put their point across. Thus, this would help in achieving a good understanding of any particular topic from all the NASCAR drivers collectively.
