DickTrickle Dennys attitude (page: 1 2) 20 Apr 3 2008, 2:28 PM EDT by DickTrickle

I liked Denny and thought he would turn into a great racer the first time I saw him in a car. Always thought a lot of him, Lately his interviews show signs of hanging around Tony Stewart. His dad should pull him aside before it grows on him even more. No one likes a driver who thinks his crap doesn't stink and you should move over when he is behind you when your on the same lap. Granted if your holding him up and his tires are newer that's a different story. He shows a crappy attitude with his fans and we liked his boyish charm and that is going away from a bad influence.
