NASCAR fans can be a very fickle bunch with what and who they like, so the concept of them turning away from drivers or taking a liking to them is a common practice. Today, I want to look back at 7 drivers who had the fans changing their minds on whether to like them or loathe them. This is 7 times NASCAR fans changed their minds on drivers.
- Corey LaJoie: Known for his outspoken nature, LaJoie lost favor after underwhelming performances and excuses. Is there still hope for him to regain fans’ support with better accountability and results?
- Denny Hamlin: Early respect for his humble rise to NASCAR faded after incidents like his role in Kyle Busch’s infamous crash with Earnhardt Jr. at Richmond and his collision with Chase Elliott. Can Hamlin’s success ever win back fans who boo him at every track?
- Her early promise as a trailblazing female driver gave way to criticism over poor performances in championship-level equipment. Was the media overhyping her, or did she miss her chance to shine?
