The intensity of the rivalry reached its breaking point when a frustrated Ryan Blaney decided to let his feelings be known. He took to the team radio and delivered a candid outburst that captured the raw emotion of the moment. In a moment of unfiltered frustration, Blaney exclaimed, “F***ing piece of sh, air blocking mother f**er.”

 

Despite the tension and the exchange of strong words, Blaney finally seized the opportunity to make his move on lap 96. In a dramatic turn of events, Kyle Larson lost not one but two spots in quick succession when Christopher Bell also managed to pass him on the same lap. However, it was not meant to be for Christopher Bell two years in a row as he became the first retiree of the race due to a brake rotor failure.
