Denny Hamlin's spotter, Chris Lambert, shed light on the divisive pitstop that turned the tides at Phoenix Raceway. Lambert revealed that he was able to identify multiple two-tire stops, but could not verify if Kyle Larson did the same.All the final four drivers entered Phoenix as deserving candidates, but it was Hamlin who was the most dominant when it mattered. However, when his crew chief, Chris Gayle, opted for a four-tire pitstop for the green-white-checkered, everything went downhill.Larson and many others had gone for a two-tire stop, which allowed them to jump the race leader. Hamlin, meanwhile, came out in tenth and was stuck behind a barrage of cars. This ultimately helped Larson's bid to the 2025 Cup Series championship.Since then, there has been widespread debate on Denny Hamlin's highly contentious pitstop, with many arguing that Gayle could've course corrected after looking at Larson's stop. Lambert weighed in on the situation and answered whether he was able to note the same."No, could not see the 5 stall from the stand. All I was able to say on channel 2 was 'lots of twos.'"Richard Petty commented on Denny Hamlin's loss and called out NASCAR for not allocating enough tires.Bubba Wallace's spotter delves into Denny Hamlin's four-tire callBubba Wallace's spotter, Freddie Kraft, broke down Chris Gayle's title-deciding call for Denny Hamlin. On the latest episode of Door Bumper Clear podcast, Kraft criticised casual fans for the uproar against Gayle."I think there's a lot of Monday morning quarterbacks saying Gayle should have done two[tires]," he said, "Obviously in the hindsight, yes, he probably should have done two. For Gayle, he just put four on and it worked out, he took the lead off a turn too essentially, on the first lap, so I got the best car, I'm going to fire four on it and let my guy go execute a restart like he just did and win the championship." [0:15 onwards]"So I don't even know that even if Lambert told him these guys are coming on two, he probably said, 'All right. I don't give a sh*t, like we're gonna go beat him like we just did," he added.Despite the unfortunate loss, Denny Hamlin remained cordial and went to Kyle Larson's championship party at Phoenix. When asked about the same, Hamlin replied that he just wanted to pay his respects as a good friend. Notably, the 44-year-old didn't like that the media discussion was largely about his title loss, rather than Larson's feat as a two-time Cup Series champion.Compared to Hamlin, Larson experienced winless outings in the playoffs. He was able to coast on points banked from his early wins and the stack of top-five finishes he’d already logged. However, the most glaring stat is how Larson won the finale without leading a single lap.
