Hamlin and Wallace collided Sunday on the last lap of the Daytona 500 while racing for second, and both cars then sustained significant damage in a crash that happened after the checkered flag. In a live interview on Fox afterward, Wallace said Hamlin “might need to take some Adderall for that one.’’
This comment was in response to Hamlin, who jokingly said on a podcast last week that 70% of his driving peers used Adderall, which drew scorn from NASCAR officials.
In a series of tweets, Denny Hamlin gave his side of the story.
Let me clue the idiots on Twitter what I was pissed off about. I had no issue with how the race ended. I was minding my own business on the bottom of the track and out of the blue I get ran into, my tire blown, and perfectly straight car destroyed. I’m good with all that.

Then, I go do media and everything is fine. Then the last question is what was my response to what Bubba said. I had no issue until not only did he place blame on me but then went on to make personal comments about myself. I left the media center and saw Bubba 30 secs later.

Anyone who wouldn’t take offense to the stupid things that was said has absolutely no backbone. I have one

This is so funny, it’s okay for Denny to make a joke on a radio show last week that 70% of the field is using adderall, but Bubba can’t make a joke back about it. Yea, that doesn’t add up, get it, add up. Save for the race track fellas.
