During the latest episode of the Actions Detrimental podcast, Denny Hamlin, a driver for Joe Gibbs Racing, defended Cody Ware after a controversial caution in the AdventHealth 400 at Kansas Speedway. Hamlin shifted the blame from Ware to Rick Ware Racing, criticizing the team's decision to keep Ware on the track despite tire issues. The caution, caused by Ware's spin, allowed Tyler Reddick to seize the lead and ultimately win the race. Hamlin emphasized that Ware was not at fault for the incident, noting that he had over 60 laps on his tires and was clearly struggling. He expressed respect for Ware and his team, acknowledging their underdog status in the NASCAR circuit. Following the race, Hamlin also addressed comments made by his former teammate Kyle Busch, who has faced challenges since moving to Richard Childress Racing. Hamlin currently holds second place in the Cup Series standings with 352 points, while Busch sits at 27th with only 133 points this season.
