Denny Hamlin Wants Mike Joy to Be Replaced & Kevin Harvick Questions NASCAR Playoff Format Integrity
In this episode:
Denny Hamlin talked on his "Actions Detrimental" podcast this week about how he liked Leigh Diffey's first call on NBC at Daytona and said the network or NASCAR needs to make an "executive decision" and have the Australian call all 36 Cup races each year. He also called out Fox's "messy" coverage.
Fox announcer Kevin Harvick talked on his "Happy Hour" podcast about the Daytona race and questioned NASCAR's playoff format. He is a fan of the more traditional top 16 best race cars advancing to the playoffs, not a win and you're in scenario, but understands it's part of the entertainment the sport is trying to provide for its fans.
NASCAR announced the 2025 schedule this week, including the first international date in 65 years in Mexico City. Daniel Suarez joined NASCAR's Ben Kennedy in a press conference with reporters talking about the upcoming race, and Kennedy addressed the conversation officials had with Kyle Busch and his team regarding the No. 8 making the race after being arrested and detained in Mexico in January 2023 when authorities discovered a handgun in his luggage.
TV ratings for Daytona reached a four-year high and a trend that's happened in the last couple of months.
