Kyle Busch Fires Back At Denny Hamlin’s Comments: “I Can Certainly Make His Life Hell”

NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Busch has suggested that he does not like Denny Hamlin talking about his current struggles at Richard Childress Racing. He did not hesitate in saying that he could make Hamlin’s life “hell.”

MotorBiscuit reported Hamlin’s comments from a recent episode of his Actions Detrimental podcast, where he compared Busch to his RCR teammate Austin Dillon, and questioned if NASCAR’s current Next-Gen car was responsible for a decline in Busch’s performance. Hamlin said:

“You’re a Hall of Fame Mount Rushmore driver, and if you’re of the greatest, then carry it better than your teammate who has won 10 races. I think he should be able to do that, but it’s not happening.

“I think that he doesn’t know how to get the speed out of the Next-Gen car on a consistent basis. There’s been flashes of it. And when yes, he won three races his first season at RCR. That was the first year of Next-Gen.”

Hamlin then went on to doubt whether Busch can frequent the Victory Lane again. He said:

“If you’re expecting Kyle Busch to just go back to Victory Lane on a regular basis, you’re kidding yourselves and you’re going to be very disappointed. I just think that, until we change the car or something changes, something has to change, and I have no idea. I’m not in his shoes. I’m not his crew chief.
