NASCAR Director Claps Back At Denny Hamlin's $2 Million All-Star Claim
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. NASCAR managing director of racing communications Mike Forde has dismissed 23XI Racing co-owner Denny Hamlin's recent claims that the proposed "Run What Ya Brung" All-Star Race would have left the teams making a financial loss. During an appearance on the Hauler Talk podcast, Forde clapped back at Hamlin's claims, stating: "Denny talked about how this would cost potentially $2 million if we went ahead and did this. I think his math was off by about $2 million," Forde joked. "But what actually it could cost is $0 or potentially save teams money, believe it or not. And I'm sorry, Denny, but I did text with Denny. I told him, 'You can listen to NASCAR's hottest new podcast on Wednesday for all of the goods.'" Denny Hamlin, driver of the #11 Progressive Toyota, looks on during qualifying for the NASCAR Cup Series Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway on April 12, 2025 in Bristol, Tennessee.

Tilton/Getty Images He added: "What we presented to the teams is that you cannot modify any parts, you cannot build any new parts, you can't create any new parts, everything still had to be single-sourced. But there was a list of things we were going to allow teams to do." Forde continued: "And part two about this, and why I say teams actually probably could have saved money on this idea is if you didn't want to do anything, if you wanted to not come up with any idea, you can just build your cars, what you could have done is used body panels that probably aren't race-ready for a Talladega or a Coke 600, but probably too good for a show car, and use it for the All-Star Race," Forde said. "So, you could have used sort of like hand-me-downs, which they do now, but if it's hand-me-downs that are not up-to-snuff for a points race, you could have used it there, and actually saved some money." What did Denny Hamlin say about the rejected All-Star proposal? The Joe Gibbs Racing driver took the opportunity to clarify his stance on the proposed All-Star "Run What Ya Brung" feature on his Actions Detrimental podcast. He explained, as previously reported by Newsweek Sports: "I know Jeff Gluck had a massive rant last night on 'The Teardown' about the teams talking about the money. But it is a reality. "Everyone wants to have fun and do all these things, but who is going to pay for it? ... We are gonna destroy three cars to build this car. Under the rules, it was like you have to use Next Gen parts, but you can do whatever you want to them. "So, we're going to destroy every piece and part of that car and make it lighter or something. Like, we're going to modify it. Going to bend the chassis and do all types of things to this thing that will make it illegal at any other racetrack that we go to?" He added: "We've been very transparent in the fact that this car cost $300,000. "Do the math real quick. If I put my three cars on the racetrack and just to build this wild, illegal car, I'm going to destroy it and now I lose one more car out of my fleet. "I only get seven cars per door number. So, that's three cars that are wiped out of my fleet that I'm not going to get a replacement for because I'm not going to get a replacement car if the car has damage to it if you wreck it. You have to show NASCAR that it's wrecked, bent or whatever and you need another chassis. I can't afford to lose that out of my rotation. "We used to have 14 cars, now we're down to seven. The whole cost-cutting thing was to shorten up how many cars we have in our stable. Can you ask for another chassis? Sure, but I'm gonna spend $1 million just on parts and pieces. "We haven't even developed anything yet. So, just in parts and pieces to replace all this sh*t we're gonna modify, we're gonna spend a sh*t ton of money. And it only pays $1 million to win. It's paid $1 million to win for 30 years. It's not that cool anymore. Even if one of my cars won, I don't see this as even remotely breakeven proposition." The 44-year old concluded: "For those like Jeff Gluck that complain about, 'well, all you talk about is money.' It's because the teams don't have enough money. This is what we're fighting for. This is what we've been talking about. "If you continue to lose money year after year, why would you just raise your hand and say, 'sure, I'll take another $1 million loss.' You can't do that. It's not sustainable. It's not possible under the parameters set in front of us and that was that do whatever you want."

William Byron's Tough Truth After Talladega: 'We Couldn't Get Enough Help'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. William Byron had high expectations for the NASCAR 2025 Jack Link's 500 at Talladega Superspeedway. Despite a strong performance that saw him fight for the lead, he finished his campaign in fourth place. Byron is consistently strong on superspeedways. As a two-time Daytona 500 winner, he has the skills to unpack a strong weekend. But Talladega still remains a nut he is yet to crack. "We had the No. 48 [Alex Bowman] behind us and he was doing a good job pushing. It just seemed like we couldn't get enough help from the third guy in line and that's what it takes. For whatever reason, the top lane just couldn't get the runs off the corner at the right time to get connected. "We'd get connected too late and then get a little bit squirrely and lose our momentum. I wish just that one time, we could have connected a little better to stay even with the bottom lane, but we were working really hard to do that with the No. 2 [Austin Cindric].

Tilton/Getty Images "It just seemed like it took a lot of effort for us to maintain the track position on the front row. Live and learn. The No. 24 Valvoline Chevrolet team did a good job today. We had some issues and had to work on it. We got it better and then we were able to race there in the final stage, so really happy with that. We always want a little bit more. "I feel like we were in the perfect position there with 10 laps to go." Byron also faced mechanical issues with his car that added to a difficult race. A steering issue made him think he was going to crash, but his team was able to fix the issue. Talking to Fox Sports, he said the following on his struggle: "[It] seemed like some kind of steering issue," Byron admitted. "The guys did a great job getting it to where I could drive it there in the third stage... The first part of the race was really sketchy trying to steer through situations and change lanes, but really proud of our team. "To be able to overcome that is a testament to what our team is this year and the things we can do."

Carson Hocevar Pit Crew Member Caught Up In Scary Incident In Talladega
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. One of Carson Hocevar's Spire Motorsports pit crew members, Jarius Morehead, was caught up in a scary pit stop incident at Talladega Superspeedway yesterday. As Hocevar's car was wide out of his pit box, Josh Berry, who was coming into the pit box in front of him, knocked the tires in Morehead's hands. The tires smashed into his side and pushed him over the car hood. Amazingly, he continued with the pit stop. The crews on pit road are just built different. Tough. — FOX: NASCAR (@NASCARONFOX) April 27, 2025 Commenting to the media following the race, Berry explained: "I felt like we did a really good job and saved a lot of fuel and then still had the track position by the end of it. I knew I needed to get on the pit road good and I just went a little too deep. Carson Hocevar, driver of the #77 Chili's Ride the 'Dente Chevrolet, pits during the NASCAR Cup Series Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway on April 13, 2025 in Bristol, Tennessee.

Tilton/Getty Images "I mean I think it's a couple of different things. I think it's trying to be aggressive, but at the same time, probably that's the first time in one of these that I've actually been in that position where I'm not kind of judging my braking marker off of somebody else. So, I just thought that I could go a little bit deeper than I could have." Hocevar also commented: "Ultimately, we came with a lot of the Toyotas that were up front, but they were up front and burned a lot of fuel. We were sitting back there, taking care of our stuff and being able to jump them. "Ultimately, we knew the rest of the field was going to try and go long compared to them. That just gave us a window that a yellow could come out. We were in our window, had plenty of fuel, and ultimately just gave ourselves a shot. Take the six, seven laps of miracles, spot that you can get a yellow and lead versus trying to play the pit road game, and hopefully shuffle." Morehead made the move from college football to NASCAR pit crew after the Covid-19 pandemic. As he missed his opportunity in the NFL, he decided to shift his focus to the world of NASCAR. During an interview with The Plainsman, Morehead revealed: "On my birthday, March 13, the world shut down. "What is my next option. [I was] talking to my agent and people start getting picked up as undrafted free agents. So in my mind I'm like dang, I guess I have to go the CFL route. "I'm thinking to myself, 'I did everything I'm supposed to do.' I was just questioning God. 'Why me, why me?' "I was just playing Call of Duty when the phone rang and it was Hendrick. They are like 'Hey we want you to come tryout for our pit crew.'"
