Fox Sports, $25.6 billion partner of NASCAR, has been around for two decades. However, there is no love lost between Fox and fans and drivers of the sport. From blurry checkered flag finishes to inaccurate coverage of crucial racetrack moments, the number of critical points that Fox faced in 2024 was high. The wave of criticism continued into this year as well. Although NBC and USA Network are handling Cup races at present, FS1 is covering Truck races \u2013 to the detriment of Corey Heim\u2019s glory. Denny Hamlin<\/a> broached this topic in a recent \u2018Actions Detrimental\u2019 episode, thanking a fan for bringing up a burning issue. \u201cI\u2019m glad I saw someone on social media bring this up. I saw someone say, \u2018I\u2019m confused,’\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Then Denny Hamlin broke down the gist of the problem. He chided Fox<\/a> for going against contemporary color norms of denoting failure or success. He said, \u201cI turned to TV and on FOX it said, Corey Heim\u2019s name is in red, others\u2019 names are in red. And I\u2019m like, but he\u2019s leading the race, why is he in red? What is going on? \u2026When you have red and green, green is good, red is bad\u2026That\u2019s typical, right? \u2026They had all the people that were advancing in red and everyone that was being eliminated in green\u2026I couldn\u2019t make a whole lot of sense of it. Because when I got to the racetrack, there was about 50 laps to go\u2026At the time, there was no live figure.\u201d He scolded the broadcaster: \u201cI\u2019m not really sure on FOX\u2019s graphics department as a whole. Maybe it\u2019s time to rethink it.\u201d<\/p>\n ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n Article continues below this ad<\/p>\n via Imago<\/p>\n Photo: Nigel Kinrade Photography<\/p>\n Denny Hamlin\u2019s co-host, Jared Allen, pointed out that Fox may have shown a key for the symbols at some point. But the JGR veteran continued his diatribe: \u201cI think that just would have just made things worse for me. Just simply because I would have said, Now they knew it\u2019s sc\u2014ed up, then they have to clarify.\u201d So he made the line of action clear for Fox. \u201cLet\u2019s just try to keep this uniform to what everything else is. Green is good, red is bad, okay? Eliminated, red. Advancing, green. Let\u2019s just start there. We can work on the cartoon characters later,\u201d he said, referring to the comic-book graphics of drivers that Fox has used since 2022.<\/p>\n Fox has been the subject of scrutiny by many people, including Richard Petty and Kevin Harvick. But while Denny Hamlin critiques the broadcaster\u2019s Truck coverage, he is also addressing a more personal issue.<\/p>\n Drawing a parallel with Denny Hamlin\u2019s moves<\/strong><\/p>\n Well, Ryan Blaney grabbed the New Hampshire spotlight on Sunday, winning his third race of the season. But alongside the 2023 Cup Series champion\u2019s achievement, a JGR drama hogged the limelight as well. On lap 111 of the Mobil 1 301 race, Denny Hamlin and Christopher Bell found Ty Gibbs blocking their path. After repeated warning bumps, Hamlin eventually spun out Gibbs into the wall \u2013 although the veteran denied any foul intentions. This incident sparked a massive debate about JGR\u2019s drivers, with people questioning Gibbs\u2019 maturity<\/a>, considering that he has impeded a teammate before as well (2022 Xfinity championship, Brandon Smith).<\/p>\n ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n Article continues below this ad<\/p>\n![\"article-image\"\/](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_20250817_091417.jpg\")
