NASCAR Twitter’s wild reaction to William Byron intentionally wrecking Denny Hamlin under caution and not getting penalized
William Byron and Denny Hamlin
The Texas Motor Speedway produced a shit show this Sunday with the cup playoff race. Tyler Reddick emerged victorious in the chaotic race which saw 17 different cautions. The good year tires were a disaster as the leading pack’s demise was caused by its lack of quality.
The drama was further escalated by the on-track altercation between William Byron and Denny Hamlin. To the surprise of many, the No:24 Hendrick Motorsports driver wrecked his Joe Gibbs Racing counterpart under caution. The caution was out due to Martin Truex Jr’s crash upfront.
William Byron spun Denny Hamlin from the rear as a retaliation to a move the veteran made his few laps before. For some bizarre reason, NASCAR didn’t penalize the youngster. The HMS driver deserved at least a couple of track positions.
After the race, William Byron acknowledged he intentionally made the move on Denny Hamlin. The No:11 driver wasn’t pleased with any of the incidents. He was disappointed with NASCAR for not penalizing his opponent for the dangerous move.
