Denny Hamlin thinks most drivers don't respect Brad Keselowski and he believes this started after Keselowski showed no remorse for his aggressive driving.

According to Hamlin, he and a couple of other drivers believe Keselowski didn't have enough space to attempt a pass of Gordon in the closing laps of Sunday's race.

The race ruckus happened when Keselowski's move to pass Gordon entering turn one on lap 336 of the 341 lap race. Keselowski moved to the middle of the track to go inside Gordon, who restarted on the outside line in second, and the outside of Jimmie Johnson, the race leader. As Keselowski moved to the open space, Gordon came down, and the two drivers slammed into each other.

Hamlin lamented "I think the challenge a lot of drivers probably have right now with Brad is there's no remorse. He has the right to feel the way that he feels - but when there's no accountability ... they're going to be upset with you. It's tough to win a championship if nobody likes you. That is going to be a very, very tough task."

Both Hamlin and Keselowski have a bad pass as well. They had a three season feud which ended in 2009 when both racer ended up tangled on the track in the Nationwide Series. Hamlin complained that Keselowski refused to make a reasonable talk about what happened.

Hamlin continued "You're just looking for someone to say, 'Man, I'm sorry I ruined your day. I screwed up. I apologize.' When that doesn't get said, then it immediately lights a fire in your stomach that he doesn't have any remorse. He's just like, 'Oh well, it's your problem.'"

He adds "That just lights a fire in your inside. Especially when you just had a bad day and your season could have rested on that. That really set things off. If Brad would have talked to Jeff, and said, 'Man, I was going for a hole, it was my only chance, I'm really sorry it cut your tire.' Instead, it was, 'Oh well, sorry buddy. You left a hole.' If he did that to me, I would have had the same reaction as Jeff. No question."
