Hamlin noted he was upset at first, but acknowledged his comeback is bigger than an award. “I heard about that,” Hamlin said, via the Maggie and Perloff podcast. “I heard some people were in an uproar. I did at first, I’m not gonna lie. I did, a little bit, just because you know I’m a competitor myself. Any competition you put me in, I want to win.
