In two days\u2019 time, NASCAR<\/a> will head into the courtroom for the jury trial of its biggest lawsuit yet, with 23XI and FRM alleging it of monopolistic practices in the stock car racing market. The Denny Hamlin, Michael Jordan co-owned team has largely been at the forefront of the proceedings, thanks to their star power, and when the trial begins, their names will most likely continue to dominate the headlines.<\/p>\n

As for NASCAR, the sport appears to be gearing up for a challenging period, given the events that have unfolded over the last week. And as the clock ticks down on the trial, Hamlin can\u2019t wait for the \u2018truth\u2019 to come out.<\/p>\n

Denny Hamlin Lashes Out on Social Media Over the Upcoming Jury Trial<\/p>\n

ESPN\u2019s Ryan McGee recently pushed out an article about the upcoming jury trial, talking about why Jordan wanted to \u2018tear at the fabric\u2019 of stock car racing as we know it. It didn\u2019t take long for the article and its update to reach Hamlin on X, prompting the 45-year-old\u00a0to lash out at what was written.<\/p>\n

Replying to McGee on his X feed, Hamlin held nothing back when he took a jab at NASCAR\u2019s Director of Communications, Mike Forde. The JGR driver\u00a0wrote that McGee should also have credited Forde for helping him write the article in an attempt to \u201cswitch the narrative.\u201d<\/p>\n

Per Hamlin, \u201cPlease give credit to @mforde for helping you write this propaganda piece that they want pushed to switch the narrative. Continuous lies about our stance, NASCAR\u2019s motives for its actions, and continued message from the sanctioning body that everything is fine. Our fans know better.\u201d<\/p>\n

McGee came back to try to calm the situation down, asserting that he had done his best to hit the piece down the middle, even leaving a lot of blanks in the piece, which would be filled in once the lawsuit was over.<\/p>\n

However, Hamlin\u2019s next response was even more scathing, as he made sure to let the world know that he had had enough of the media houses intimidated by NASCAR pushing their narrative. He said that starting Monday, the lies\u00a0<\/a>would be over<\/a>, and it was\u00a0time for the truth to come out.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur fans have been brainwashed with their talking points for decades. Narratives pushed by media who are intimidated by them. Lies are over starting Monday morning. It\u2019s time for the truth. It\u2019s time for change.\u201d<\/p>\n

Several elements of the McGee article<\/a> had set Hamlin off, but perhaps the most telling of them all was when one X user pointed out a particular section of the piece. Under the subheading \u201cWhat is the endgame for each side?\u201d McGee wrote that the complaining teams did not know what they wanted out of the lawsuit.<\/p>\n

X user, Toyo, detailed that the teams have \u201cliterally listed what they want.\u201d\u00a0Hamlin took note of the same and replied<\/a> \u201cExactly\u201d to Toyo, clearing some air behind his fury.<\/p>\n

All eyes now turn towards the Monday proceedings of the court, with Michael Jordan sitting in for all the sessions and testimonies, thanks to a smart move by Jeffrey Kessler\u2019s team<\/a>. As for Hamlin, the 23XI co-owner will certainly keep a close watch on how things proceed as the NASCAR world gets ready for what is truly the biggest lawsuit in the sport\u2019s history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In two days\u2019 time, NASCAR will head into the courtroom for the jury trial of its biggest lawsuit…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":314357,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[446],"tags":[49,48,634,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-314356","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nascar","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-nascar","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/314356","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=314356"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/314356\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/314357"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=314356"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=314356"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=314356"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
