"I definitely got too hot under the collar, and it went too far on my end."
"There are things I should have done differently,"
"'We shouldn't wreck each other. That was very clear and blatantly wrong and hopefully doesn't happen again,' Bell said. 'I think it already was clear to us before, and we just need to respect each other.'"
Denny Hamlin wrecked teammate Ty Gibbs at New Hampshire after Gibbs would not yield, prompting internal talks at Joe Gibbs Racing. Hamlin is playoff-eligible and pursuing his first Cup Series championship; Gibbs, the team owner’s grandson, is not eligible for the title. Hamlin asked on team radio whether the organization was too scared to issue team orders and later admitted he got too hot under the collar and went too far. Teammates stressed that drivers should not wreck each other and must respect one another late in the season. Chase Briscoe won the Kansas pole and will start beside Hamlin, and Kyle Larson said Gibbs raced a title contender too aggressively early in the prior race.
