Gibbs had the first opportunity to express his feelings after the contact, as he was interviewed after his retirement. He kept things short and sweet, answering both questions asked with a simple “excited for next week”. The intent of this comment is unknown; it could be innocent, or it could be a hint at revenge.

Hamlin followed up on his radio after the wreck. “Does Ty know we’re racing for a championship? What the F—?”. The frustration was evident, and the driver of the 11 did not stop there. After the race, Hamlin said, “It’s super unfortunate he got spun there, and obviously the contact came from us, but yeah, I don’t have any comment other than that”.

Joe Gibbs himself chimed in as reporters were digging for as much information as they could get post-race. His response was much more straightforward, simply stating, “It’s always the drivers that have to handle that”. The boss did not seem too upset with the actions of his NASCAR drivers, but he was spotted having a discussion with Hamlin after the race.
