Denny Hamlin fires back at Jeff Dickerson after comments on JGR, Chris Gabehart lawsuit

“Yeah, okay buddy,” Hamlin wrote on X. “You hired someone who stole tens of millions worth of information, lied about communications y’all had after you deleted them and now is getting paid double to work on your truck program? GTFO. What was it you called Richard again? Was it you who was leaking information after RTA calls?”

Jeff Dickerson: ‘They want to diminish all these things’

Jeff Dickerson issued a strong defense of Spire Motorsports with regard to the lawsuit. He addressed comments made in court about being called “a liar and a thief and a cheater,” he told Gluck. He also said sufficient evidence has not amounted to anything before the judge.

While Dickerson acknowledged the hiring of Gabehart and that he “admitted he took something,” Dickerson also said JGR does not want to acknowledge Spire’s “alliance partner,” which is Hendrick Motorsports, in the courtroom as a way to “diminish” the team.

“You hear these things and they know better,” Dickerson said. “They know who our alliance partner is. They just don’t have the balls to say it in court. That’s what I mean. They want to diminish all these things. They want to diminish all of our people, they want to hurt us in front of the industry, they want to hurt us in front of sponsors and fans just because they can. That’s just the thing. You know who our alliance partner is.

“I’m not trying to turn this into a trainwreck. I’m just saying, they know who our partner is. They just won’t say it. Because if I have it, who else has it? So they want to bring in all these other little teams.”
