Denny Hamlin Claims Chase Elliott's Fans Are Responsible for "Dirty Driver" Label

Hamlin alluded to Elliott, claiming run-ins with drivers who inherited their fans from when "their dad raced" gave him a villain tag. "I come in there, and maybe I roughed them up, they don’t like me," he said. Hamlin's first of many high-profile incidents with Elliott happened in 2017 at Martinsville when he wrecked the eight-time 'Most Popular Driver' award winner.
