If there’s one thing everyone can agree on, it is that COTA was a chaotic race, maybe too chaotic for its own good. The race was full of wrecks, little incidents, big incidents, cautions, and so on. But there was one incident that went relatively unnoticed. It involved Kyle Larson. And it was brought to everyone’s attention by Denny Hamlin.
The Joe Gibbs Racing driver and the Hendrick Motorsports driver had a coming together earlier in the race as the #11 spun out the #5. In another incident between the two in which Hamlin wasn’t as directly involved, Larson was wrecked by 23XI Racing’s Bubba Wallace.

But the incident Hamlin pointed to after the race didn’t involve either him or his driver.
In a clip from the race posted by a fan on Twitter, Kyle Larson can be seen entering a turn, braking late, and hitting Ryan Blaney while also compromising the turn of Erik Jones right in the mix. “Kyle Larson just bulldozed through Jones and Blaney,” the fan wrote.

It was specifically this clip that Hamlin picked to give the fans a bit of a teaser into the major talking points of his new podcast episode of Actions Detrimental.
“We talked a lot about wrecks today on ADDH. Had to call some folks out too. Podcast coming later this afternoon,” Hamlin tweeted over the Larson video. “Fine print: I spun the 47 yesterday.”
