Nothing but absolute pain for Denny Hamlin.

This entire sport is a joke. Whole season comes down to a 2 lap shootout.

Struggling to believe what I just witnessed… I’m far from an 11 fan, but this is the most Mickey Mouse shit I’ve ever seen.. sad sad day for the sport, I hope they win the fuck out of that lawsuit

This year may have more people upset than last year. Whether you hate him or love him, how do you not feel awful for Denny

i feel terrible for him man 💔💔

Got screwed by a joke of a format. Unreal this is how we determine champions

Whoever called for 4 tires should be fired

I'm getting Carl Edwards 2016 vibes all over again. I feel so horrible for the man. He did everything right, he drove the best I've ever seen from him.

And all of us too. Our hearts feel like they’ve just been ripped out.

This sport will never be taken seriously even if they do go back to the original format. Just a joke

As a Larson fan it's hard to celebrate knowing how Denny must feel. Gutted for the guy.

Larson didn’t lead a lap all day. Denny dominated. Pathetic joke of a sport.

i deadass just wanna give him a hug. i’m so heartbroken for him

How do they not take 2 on the last stop??

A ‘Championship’ that’s decided by a flat tire and two laps 🤡

“We didn’t even lead a lap all day” Your 2025 NASCAR champion…

I’m a Hendrick, RCR, Chevy fan for 45 years. Gutted for Hamlin. This was his time. Crew chief made the absolute wrong call. Should have went with two tires to hold serve on the teams that pitted. His car was plenty good enough to beat the 5 on two tires.

We know why Carl walked away. This is it. What a fucking Joke.

no diss to you, but imagine losing the championship race you dominanted, pops is dying, you’re thinking about Jd gibbs and there’s thousands of cameras shoved in your face watching you

NASCAR didn’t need to throw that caution but I’ll tell you what they wanted to. And they did. Frankly I hope he wins the lawsuit and puts nascar out of business

I've never rooted for Denny until today I wanted it so bad for him

As a Larson fan this just feels wrong. Hamlin was the best car and driver all race, I mean Larson didn't even lead a lap and hasn't won anything since may. Just feel terrible for Hamlin.

Nascar did everything they could to fix it for him and he choked on it. You'd be emotional too knowing they tried handing it to you and you still dropped it. Now he has to drop the lawsuit and still not have a title. No way nascar tries to help him this much again unless they keep this format one more year to try one more time.

This is why Carl Edwards quit. Absolute bullshit

They should’ve went with 2. He was going to be faster even if the others had 4. His car was that good.

Terrible call for four tires. I'm devastated for him. He earned it this season. I don't know what fucked him more... Byron losing it 3 laps left or the absolute worst call by Gayle for four tires.

It’s what he deserves trying to ruin this sport

Crew chief gave it away. They had time to audible wen all those cars took 2

What an absolute joke this system is. It’s embarrassing for the sport it comes down to this. Win and advance? Larson hasn’t won since Kansas in May. Hamlin deserved that. Also TV is a joke interviews Larson & Hamlin and they’re off tv. I had to check timing &scoring to see winner

Hamlin got what he deserves. He shouldn’t sue the sanctioning body that has made him a multi millionaire many times over.

Me too. I've never rooted for him to win a race ever, but wanted him to hold on. A championship decided by a 2-lap shootout is ridiculous. Larson probably had the points championship anyway, but this format just stinks.

@Knighter01 I have won the same number of cup championships as @dennyhamlin what a great day to be alive.

Wheres all the people saying it was rigged for Hamlin? 🤣
