Denny Hamlin discusses in-depth his partnership with Dale Jr., the status of his contract, and his plans for Dirty Mo Media.
Denny Hamlin spoke openly about his connection with Dale Earnhardt Jr. and his work as a podcast host. Speaking with veteran NASCAR driver Kenny Wallace, Hamlin discussed the origins of his Actions Detrimental podcast.
Dale Jr. saw, according to Hamlin, that I was generating news every weekend with my availability to the media. “There were always a lot of heated subjects to talk about: competition, NextGen, safety, and this and that. What you would see was essentially small passages from stories that contained one quote or one sentence that I had said; this wasn’t the entire context of what I had to say.”Man, I get you because I know what you’re saying, but I don’t think the fan gets you,” he exclaimed.
When you need to discuss current events and the sport, I believe you should have a venue and platform where you can explain things in more detail than 20 minutes. I gave in when he finally twisted my arm enough. “Well, tell me the obligation,” I say. How much work is this going to need of me? Listen, we’ll have everything ready for you. The highlights will be available on your phone as soon as the race is complete, and we’ll have all of the drivers’ remarks so you can stay informed about everything.
Unexpected information about Denny Hamlin’s future with Dirty Mo Media is revealed.
In addition to discussing the origins of Actions Detrimental, Hamlin provided an update on his contract situation with Dirty Mo Media and the show. “I’m not really sure what the future holds. I’m not sure if I’m with those folks until the end of the year, and then we’ll decide what to do,” disclosed Hamlin.
“I’m incredibly appreciative of Dale Jr. and Mike Davis for giving me this platform. They said right away that this was your podcast. We simply want to assist with distribution and other things if you ever decide to go off and do your own thing with your podcast. They did an excellent job for me, and I’m thrilled about that.
