AJ Allmendinger Doesn’t Give a “Cr*p” About “Most Badass Driver on the Planet” Kyle Larson’s Feud With Hendrick Teammate Chase Elliott

At Watkins Glen International, Kyle Larson stormed to victory, ahead of AJ Allmendinger and Joey Logano. However, Larson was once locked in a fierce battle for the lead with teammate Chase Elliott.

Behind the Hendrick Motorsports duo, AJ Allmendinger might have been disappointed that he didn’t have any popcorn with him. This was because the HMS civil war was entertaining. When Allmendinger spoke about the spat, he quipped, “The truth? I could give a cr*p what they have to talk about.”

In a post-race interview, he further said, “Finishing second sucks, let’s get that straight but when it’s to Kyle Larson, I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times, he is the most badass driver on the planet right now.”

“I don’t care what you put him in. He can go win, and he shows it pretty much every day.”

“It’s tough to finish second to him, but we were there. Yesterday we kind of got gifted second place, today we earned it.”

AJ Allmendinger felt he could have won at Watkins Glen

Allmendinger firmly believed that he had the capability to get ahead of Larson and win the race. It was also worth mentioning that he got spun off early in the race and had to mount a comeback of epic proportions.

In spite of that, he had plenty of fun on the track. The Kaulig Racing driver also talked about the potential Hendrick Motorsports civil war between Larson and Elliott.

He confessed that he ‘could give a cr*p’ about the warring Hendrick duo. According to Allmendinger, he does not have to be in a Hendrick Motorsports meeting with them, so it is none of his business. All in all, he did not care if they had to talk to each other. At the end of the day, track position is really important, especially when two are pretty even in pace.

AJ Allmendinger believed that if he could have passed Larson on the restart, he could have won the race. It was always going to be a fight to nail the restart because, with even cars, it was difficult to overtake.

Now, all that Allmendinger can do is sit and rue what could have been. Had circumstances been in his favor, he could have snatched a shock win, even though he is not Playoff eligible.
