Denny Hamlin (L) and Erik Jones (R) | Credits- USA Today Network, Imagn Erik Jones and Legacy Motor Club have been hard at work trying to finish races in respectable positions and on Sunday at Darlington, they were very well in the mix for their best result of the season, which would have been any position higher than 10th place. Unfortunately, in came Denny Hamlin to unravel all the effort they had put in. Jones was racing hard with a fast car when Hamlin caused him to spin on Lap 111 and the incident left Jones reeling.
Afterward, he had to fight with all might to finish 10th. Emotions run high in situations like these. But Hamlin accepted his mistake almost immediately after the race and made sure that peace was upheld.
Jones, too, appeared to accept the apology despite being heavily disappointed in the Joe Gibbs Racing driver. Hamlin has once again reiterated, on Actions Detrimental , that the mistake was completely his. *“Everyone’s preferred line was the wall in [turns] 3 and 4,”* he [__said__](https://youtu.

And I’m like, ‘Okay, I’m just going to go in really hard, really low, and try to get beside him. ’ He went low, which he had all the right to because he’s in front of me, so he dictates where to run. ”* The surprise move, however, caused Hamlin to drive hard into the back of Jones ‘ Camry.
