Denny really put his foot in his mouth last week, but as always, great teams rebound from adversity. After an opportunity to sleep on his words, Denny quickly realize the error of his ways and retracted his statements after Michigan. His team pulled together and put together a fantastic run at Bristol. I’m not sure what happened in qualifying, but the car was great from the start of the race. That boy can drive a car! He may not be as good as Carl or Kyle right now, but he IS in the chase and deserves to be there.
For all the people that call him a whiner or a baby, I guess he is crying all the way to the bank. One think that all great drivers have in common is passion. What exactly defines “whining”? Is it complaining? Is it the tone of your voice? I haven’t seen a driver yet that hasn’t complained about something or sounded disappointed after a race. Are they all whiners? To the accusers, examine your own life. Are you a whiner? Does calling someone else a whiner make you a whiner?
Everybody tells the drivers to “shut up and drive”. Should we just “shut up and watch”?

I just wrote a blog
about the same thing! I loved yours! what driver doesn’t whine? I still think Denny is a great driver, and deserves to be in the Chase, I thinnk he can even be a champion. Did you see his pit crew hussle at the last pit stop, that’s the energy they need all the time, I know Denny can handle it. He IS the silent warrior. He’ll get there, he did some great racing with Kyle. GO DENNY!!!!He rocks!

LOL
Yea, I guess he IS crying his way to the bank, huh?
GO DENNY!
For some reason, I don’t take Denny’s “complaining” badly; I feel for him because it sounds like he gets too hard on himself and beats himself up when he doesn’t do well. He’s so talented, he needs to remember that, and he can do it!
