    Denny and Jared,

I wrote a heart felt review just minutes after the end of season 2025. It disappeared. Not only that review but my entire thread. I’ve been erased. Today’s review has me starting from scratch. I’ve been a Denny fan from the beginning of his NASCAR run. I’ve been a fan of this podcast from episode one. ... more

  • So close

    I’ve been a NASCAR fan my whole life. Although I was never really an 11 fan, I’ve never missed an episode of Actions Detrimental. Over the years of listening to the show it has changed who I root for on Sundays. It was heartbreaking on Sunday when you missed out on the championship. I hope you know how important your show is for all of us converted 11 fans. Thank you so much for the insight each and every week! I can’t wait for the next episode.
