NASCAR Torn Apart for “Absolutely Unacceptable” Kyle Larson News at Daytona 500

The much-awaited Daytona 500 took place yesterday, and it did not disappoint. The eventful race turned out to be a nightmare for quite a few drivers. Proceedings turned chaotic when Tyler Reddick pushed Kevin Harvick on Turn 4—resulting in multiple cars bumping into each other. One of the victims of this incident was Kyle Larson.

The shove from Harvick eventually resulted in Aric Almirola hard-bumping Travis Pastrana. The X-Games specialist then hooked Kyle Larson in his right rear. This saw the Hendrick Motorsports driver spin out of control and hit the wall. As Larson was hit the hardest among the many cars involved, it was a concerning moment for NASCAR fans.

Obviously, many were concerned with the wellness of the drivers affected. With Kyle Larson being one of the more popular figures, fans were keen to know about his well-being. As NASCAR failed to provide a timely update to the fans, it resulted in an outrage on social media.

One user expressed frustration at the decision to not mention anything, writing, “Not mentioning anything about drivers and their conditions after a big crash that also involved a nasty hit into the wall for one driver is just unacceptable. It’s absolutely unacceptable.”
