Kyle Petty Criticizes Denny Hamlin: 'Never Heard Anything Like That'

Kyle Petty criticized Denny Hamlin for his conservative racing strategy at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

Kyle Petty has voiced strong criticism of Denny Hamlin's conservative racing strategy at the recent Quaker State 400 at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
