NASCAR Fans Disgruntled With Kyle Larson’s Over-Apology to “Silver Spoon Cry Baby” Hendrick Teammate Chase Elliott

After the race at Watkins Glen, Kyle Larson seemed over apologetic toward Chase Elliott regarding their turn-one incident. After a video emerged on Twitter that brought to light Larson’s statements, NASCAR fans reacted to it, stating that he did not need to apologize so much.

And if that wasn’t enough, they also slammed Chase Elliott for his actions!

During turn one, after the final restart of the race, Kyle Larson gunned for the lead, and in the process, Elliott was seemingly forced off track, which further made him lose track positions.

On the other hand, Larson stormed off into the distance and later on took the win. In the aftermath of the race, Elliott seemed to be fuming in regard to his loss while speaking to Rick Hendrick and Jeff Gordon of Hendrick Motorsports.

During the first interview, right after the race, Larson stated that he was not proud of what he had done, but argued that it was his only opportunity to push for the lead and win the race. He also stated that Chase would understand if he was in his shoes.

He then added, “One thing for sure we all like to win, so in the end, I probably should have a little bit more respect next time.“
