Kyle Larson Takes Clear Shot At NASCAR Teammate Chase Elliott originally appeared on The Spun.
NASCAR’s Kyle Larson had free smoke for everybody on Sunday — including one of his Hendrick Motorsports teammates — after being contacted throughout the day at this weekend’s Iowa Corn 350.
The 33-year-old driver got bumped several times in today’s Cup Series race. And while he thankfully was able to avoid anything catastrophic, finishing 28th was not where the No. 5 Chevy imagined he would be when the day started.
After losing out on valuable position going into one of the turns ahead of the caution, Larson finally had had enough and went off on his team’s radio.
“How much f—ing room do I have to leave people?” Larson yelled, via NASCAR.com’s Dustin Albino. “… I’ve been trying to be a good teammate, a good competitor and it hasn’t gotten me anywhere for the last hour.”
Larson and fellow Hendrick wheelman Chase Elliott had quite a few awkward situations ensue during Sunday’s action. Where in one instance Kyle almost wrecked Elliott’s No. 9 ZL1, but the former Cup Champion was somehow able to keep himself from spinning out and suffering some serious damage in the three-wide pack.
Kyle Larson isn’t happy during this caution.
“How much f****** room do I have to leave people? …. I’ve been trying to be a good teammate, a good competitor and it hasn’t gotten me anywhere for the last hour.”

Fans reacted to Larson’s explosion on X and sympathy was pretty hard to come by:
“He um.. vented,” a user said.
“‘Good teammate’ is NOT in Kyle Larsons vocabulary lmaoooo,” another laughed.
“People are racing him how he has previously raced them…” a fan commented.
“Pot kettle black.”
“Larson getting used up is so beautiful 🥹 He’s been doing that to his teammates for yearsss,” another person claimed.
“Dude has been doored 6 times lol.”
“Man that’s so funny coming from him,” another fan posted.
“hahaha, needed that laugh.”
Elliott ended him finishing 14 spots ahead of Larson at P14 but neither were able to come close to catching William Byron who completed the trifecta at Iowa Speedway with victories in the Truck, Xfinity and Cup Series as of today.
Both drivers will attempt to have a better performance when they Go Bowling At The Glen next week in Upstate New York.
