The Main Characters

To appeal or not to appeal?

Thinking somebody needs to superimpose Denny’s face here.

 Denny Hamlin: The Last Action Hero

Denny discusses the lack of respect from this generation’s drivers and reacts to Kyle Busch’s “say or not to say” on said subject. 

Ross Chastain

Ross won’t be attending any Denny-driven podcast’s anytime soon…

We know who might be though? Josh Williams may be “parking it” on the “Actions Detrimental” podcast in the not-too-distant future.
