Denny Hamlin critical of NASCAR on Fox broadcast: ‘There’s absolutely no excuse’
Photo Credit: Actions Detrimental with Denny Hamlin on YouTube Denny Hamlin is never shy about sharing his opinions. And when it came to NASCAR’s most recent race at Watkins Glen, a few of his favorite targets came merging together. Hamlin has spoken out before about his lack of affinity for road course racing and improvements NASCAR and its broadcasters can make at televising races.
Both of those came into effect this week with the series at the famed road course at Watkins Glen. On his Actions Detrimental podcast , Hamlin was critical of Fox and NASCAR missing too much of the dramatic action on the track and blamed the lack of people and track workers paying attention to what’s happening at all times. Would road courses be more enjoyable if the cameras actually caught everything?

“They didn’t follow a few wrecks that happened. That was for sure. NASCAR has to get better with that.
There’s absolutely no excuse. You have cameras pointing in every direction of this race track. For you not to see Cody Ware destroyed in that final corner, holy cow man.
