Denny Hamlin Alleges Road Rage Incident Involving Richard Childress at NASCAR Escort

Following the NASCAR Cup Series race at Homestead-Miami Speedway, Denny Hamlin recounted a dramatic road rage incident involving Richard Childress, which he described as feeling like a scene from a movie. Hamlin, who finished fifth in the race, was in a car driven by his podcast co-host when they witnessed Childress forcefully merge into their police escort, resulting in significant damage to a Joe Gibbs Racing vehicle. Hamlin detailed how a gap left by JGR allowed Childress to aggressively turn left, colliding with their car and destroying its right side. Despite the chaos on the highway, Childress has yet to comment on the incident. Hamlin noted that the aftermath of the encounter left a stronger impression on him than the race itself. The incident showcases the high tensions and personalities often present in NASCAR culture.
