If you ask any NASCAR fan today about the history of Bubba Wallace and Kyle Larson racing each other hard, chances are they’ll not be able to go back more than four-five years in time. However, their history goes way back than that.

In a recent episode of the NASCAR Next Now, the 23XI Racing driver recalled the time when the up-and-coming “f***kh***d” Larson made him mad on the racetrack.

Wallace described how he got the pole, but because of an oil leak, he was sent to the back of the field, a place where he didn’t stay for long.

“We come back up through the field, fastest car by a mile, racing against this dirt guy, DIRT PHENOM, the next best thing in the f*****g world, except when you get inside of him, he chops your nose,” he continued.

In his defense, Larson said, “I thought you were coming to my outside, so I opened my entry.”

“Two more times, two more times this m*****f****r did it. Last time was, I was on your outside and you came up and I was like, ‘I’m not lifting,'” Wallace continued. “I got you again, and then shipped your a** and I was like, ‘Where’s your boy at?!’, he was like, ‘he’s down there celebrating.'”

“Tell him he’s welcome ‘coz I should’ve junked his a**!”

Wallace emphasized that it’s not about making records or creating history, but simply being competitive and having that desire to win. “You just want to show up and win,” he said.

Whatever history comes in after that, it all settles in behind because there’s no greater thing than winning.”
