Jimmie Johnson was furious with Denny Hamlin in the Cup playoff opener at Darlington Raceway after the two cars came in contact with each other.
Hamlin had a disappointing finish to the race. Entering the playoff with six regular-season wins, Hamlin could only finish as high as 13th while his championship rival Kevin Harvick won another race to make it eight wins this season.
One highlight of his disappointing race was missing the pit road on Lap 309 of 367. While trying to enter the pit road, Hamiln’s rear bumper made contact with Johnson’s No. 48 Chevrolet.

Johnson finished 18th in the race.
As for Hamlin, he is second in the NASCAR Cup Series Standings.

Why do you care. You didn’t even make the playoffs
Basic rules of racing…could have caused a lot of problems for play off drivers…if that’s your point
If you watch Dennys in car you will see the hand signal. Jimmy Johnson just can’t see anymore old age is a ***** I suppose
Leave jimmy alone you AH hes the best driver out there hes my number one fan
He’s still trying to go out every race and get a win. Just because he didn’t make playoffs doesn’t mean he packs it in.
That’s a JGR Driver they got their own rules , They all seem to do what they want
After the way he raced in the Saturday race he should be ban for wrecking Ron because he couldn’t beat him fairly ?????
Jimmy is the best driver out there do lay off of jimmy hes my. Number one fan and always will be
He’s a 7 Time champion he’s not going to let these chase drivers win all the time and Danny has been driving like a a**
Dirty Denny apparently felt everyone should just move over for him. No respect ?
Jimmy forgot everyone has to move over for JGR
Not everyone has to move over for JGR CARS Jimmy had a point he’s still out there trying to win a race so Denny Hamlin ought to have common sense to use hand signals when he went to the pits and he in front of Jimmy Johnson
He needs to wash his mouth out, remember we have young kids listen
Dont mean to sound mean i understand what you mean .
I remember another driver just a few weeks ago being raked over the coals for just such a move. Then a few weeks later, another more veteran driver did it, and now this. Denny needs to be given the same talk by NASCAR that Quinn was given. You don’t try to pit from the outside lane, no matter who you are.
JGR DRIVERS ARE SPECIAL THEY DON’T CAUSE ACCIDENTS IT’S JUST RACING WHEN THEY CRASH SOMEONE ELSE BUT WHEN IT HAPPENS TO THEM THEY CRY LIKE BABIES .MAYBE JOE SHOULD GET BUBBA TO DRIVE FOR HIM HE’S THE BIGGEST CRYBABY IN NASCAR.
You wanna race, or do you want to Race, earn it
Two days in a row he has done that, so no surprise here
Sorry Jimmie you deserved better you have always been calm but enough is enough. We wont be watching nascar no more I wish you the best in what is coming your way in the next chapter of your life.
They took the flags away and now I guess bleeping isn’t good enough for you so interviews have to go now.
You must be a Hamlin fan. He drives like a spoiled brat sometimes. And by the way wasn’t it him that caused or was involved in a late race crash in the Xfinity race?
Then JGR teammate Truex had to çome up on Elliott and wreck him like Hamlin wrecked out in the Xfinity race Saturday.
Look how long Denny’s been JGR and the same sponsorship still know championships. Not gonna get one this season either.
Well should be common sense if you are going to pit you need to slow down there is a a lot going on when you are pitting speeds traffic and other factors it’s just easy to blame someone than to admit you made a mistake Jimmy Johnson is a big cry baby it’s all just racing grow up
