Racing Denny Hamlin: "Kyle Petty is a Moron"

[ranbethscards]

Jayski and ESPN are reporting:

Hamlin calls Kyle Petty a moron:

Add #11-Denny Hamlin to the list of Sprint Cup drivers not happy with television analyst and former driver Kyle Petty. Petty suggested during Sunday's RaceDay show on Fox Sports "SPEED" that Hamlin should end his 2013 season and focus on healing his lower back that was injured during an early season crash at Auto Club Speedway in California. He also said Hamlin suggested he was the face of Joe Gibbs Racing. Hamlin lashed out on Twitter, saying the son of Hall of Famer Richard Petty "is a moron.''

He continued to take shots at Petty after hitting the wall to end his day early at Pocono Raceway. "He's an analyst, but not a very informative one because he doesn't know anything,'' Hamlin said. "My beef with Kyle is he has a lot of opinions about a lot of drivers, but he never once talked to any of them. To be an analyst you've got to be in the trenches to find out the stories.''

Asked what Petty said that upset him, Hamlin said, "It's just saying I thought I was the face of JGR. What I really said was I was the face of [primary sponsor] FedEx and the #11 team."

Will someone please tell Denny Hamlin that no explanation is required.

We all know that Kyle Petty IS a moron.

Hahaha, Petty may be the worst NASCAR commentator of all time, followed closely by Rusty, although he hasnt been as bad so far this year, lol.

You have to admit Kyle Petty does seem to keep the Petty name alive even though not in a good way. One of the worse commentator's around in Nascar. I am glad I got mute on remote when he starts talking.
