Denny Hamlin speaks his mind on Bubba Wallace's bird flipping antics

Co-owner and effectively Bubba Wallace's boss Denny Hamlin's latest podcast not only covered the driver's run-in with Chase Elliott, but also touched upon one of his antics on the track.

Wallace, who has been in the news for flipping the bird two weeks in a row, was not egged on by his car owner as Hamlin disapproved of the gesture.

He elaborated on his podcast and said:

“As his car owner, I don’t love it at all. I mean, just keep your hands in your car. Just stop it. You’ve got some positive momentum on the racetrack. Let’s just chill for a little while and, you know, just take the dubs when you get them, and that’s running well.”
