On this episode of Actions Detrimental, Denny Hamlin looks back on a weekend that had speed, frustration, and a few moments that slipped away late.

Plus, thoughts on the Chicago race weekend, Chicagoland vs street course discussion, fan experience, and standout performances across the NASCAR Cup Series and O’Reilly Auto Parts Series.

Denny Hamlin is back on Actions Detrimental after winning at Pocono, and apparently winning three straight races is just “a good run” now.
