Denny Hamlin Goes On Social Media Rant After Being Wrecked By Alex Bowman On Sunday

If it weren’t for Alex Bowman, Denny Hamlin likely would have been the winner at the NASCAR Cup Series at Martinsville on Sunday.

Late in the race, Hamlin was enjoying a lead late in the race when Bowman got into his rear, spinning him into the wall.

HAMLIN GETS SPUN BY BOWMAN!!!

The battle for the race win goes wrong with 7 laps to go as the No. 11 goes around.

When getting criticized for how he handled the Alex Bowman situation, Denny Hamlin took to social media to double down on how he feels, and defend his antics at Martinsville.

I don’t care what your opinions are. I don’t care what you think of me. You don’t know me. Reverse the rolls with your favorite driver. Feel the same?There’s obviously a lack of respect out there that needs to be earned back. The easy way, or the hard way.
