Denny Hamlin

Their boss, J.D. Gibbs, pulled them aside last weekend at Chicagoland and it appears all is good now. "Every five, six months, it seems like, he kind of goes through a very angry stage. Evidently I set something off," Hamlin explained.

Stewart went on to win last weekend at Chicagoland, so all is good, but..."Tony is going to be Tony. He's always like that, not saying it's okay, but it's just him."

It seems likely that both drivers will make the Chase, but it does not appear that Hamlin is going to let the Cup Series champion walk all over him.
