Did Kyle Larson's blunder just ruin Bubba Wallace's playoff dreams? NASCAR fans are fuming!

The caution flag came up at the FireKeepers Casino 400 as there was a massive crash during the race. Kyle Larson spun out during the first lap after the restart, causing him to take several cars along with him. The Hendrick Motorsports driver ended up retiring from the race after ending up in the grass. Unfortunately, after massive delays, the race finally went underway, and after waiting for a whole day to get back on the tracks, the crash affected 6 drivers.

Along with Kyle Larson, the other drivers to be affected by the wrecks are Chris Buescher, Bubba Wallace, Christopher Bell, Chase Briscoe, and Todd Gilliland. The incident on turn four puts many drivers in positions that they would not want to be in, especially the ones who are yet fighting for a spot in the playoffs, like Wallace and Buescher. Jeff Gluck put up a post on X describing what happened as soon as the incident took place.

Fans were obviously unhappy to see the drivers they support get wrecked during the third-last race before the playoffs. All the more because of the delays that have dropped the population of the circuit by a lot. After such a hectic weekend, fans could not contain their emotions as they started to crowd into Jeff Gluck’s X post to share their thoughts on Larson’s wreck. It’s safe to say that fans are not happy.

“‘Best driver in the world’,” was said by one fan who put their comment in air quotes, showing sarcasm at the title given to Kyle Larson. The fan must be feeling this after seeing the recent crashes that Larson has been a part of, which prompted this response when the driver spun out causing the crash.

This fan blamed Kyle Larson for the crash while targeting the title that he has been given by the media. “Thanks to the greatest driver in the world, according to you media guys!!” said the fan who made a sarcastic comment about Larson, as it’s clear that they don’t believe that the Hendrick Motorsports driver deserves that title.

“Larson is a great driver BUT he is prone to doing this….DAMN!!!!!!!” said a fan of Kyle, as they also pointed out his flaw. There’s no doubt that Kyle Larson is a consistent race winner and frontrunner; however, his tendencies to find himself in the middle of wrecks are noticed by fans.

“Larson ran out of talent,” said one fan who has not given up on the driver after his recent performances have been less than impressive. Although he is in the playoffs, Larson still needs to continue to dominate races to build momentum to compete in the top 16.
