lifting a guys backwheels off the ground is not "clean"

[Trex_TIF]

chris rice: blah blah blah blah. there are no excuses

[rowdysmoke]

Chris Rice: It was completely Clean!
Me: Cough
Chris Rice: You okay
Me: Sorry, I'm allergic to Bullsh*t

[raplottrpj]

Tried to get underneath him????
He Lined his bumper up and straight wrecked him!

[JackLikesTrackhouse]

At least Chris isn’t overreacting! At least you understand that Denny didn’t mean to move him! I will admit that Denny lying wasn’t cool, but I can get over that as long as that doesn’t happen again

I disagree, there is a bump and then there is a dump. I have watched the clip multiple times and all I see is Hamlin just keep his foot on the gas going into the corner and using Chase as his break. Moving a guy up the track or out of his lane is one thing but wrecking him is not acceptable

[JBoston]

It doesn't matter what he intended to do. Bottom line is he wrecked the leader.

[truexfan]

Chris Rice on point with that analysis.

[mr.ellhnas]

Mate tell him to not eat to much rice XD

[OverBroseph]

You really think the drivers don't know the limits of their cars when they race hundreds of miles every weekend. Chris Rice is completely wrong when he says it was not intentional. Every one and their mom knows that was no bump and run, he just simply ran him over. End of story.

[TheSuperSquad]

Their just trying to save Denny from being hated on, Denny made the dirtiest move i've seen in a while.

[oliveiradmdiogo]

Hamlin has been in the Monster Energy Cup series for 11 years. He would know how to do a bump and run. That was not a bump and run, that was a dump and run.

[danielfritts]

Chase 100% got dumped so Denny wouldn’t have to worry about another guy in his way that’s running better than him every week just saying

[KVGilly]

Chase should've knocked Denny out at his car

[HaloSprintRacing]

Chris, there's a reason you're not on a team anymore. Your logic sucks.

[jjjones]

I was understand its for ticket to championship 4. But that was a clear dump job..and Denny made excuses and lies..and only apologized when proof showed he dumped him..

[wesleyhuggett]

The only reason he said that is because FedEx sponsors the show.

[matty]

Totally agree with him. All you diehard Elliot fans need to realize what you would’ve done in Denny’s position. Don’t hate on a guy because of one race you can be mad about that race but don’t hold a grudge considering the circumstances

[Harith_Zack]

Bullshit. Clearly Chase got dumped by the 11. Drove straight into the corner

[NikolaiPCulp]

it was clean? no it wasn't he got flat out dumped
