Salty Kyle Larson Fans Downplay Tony Stewart’s NASCAR Driver’s Biggest Cup Series Achievement

Even though Ryan Preece may have done to Kyle Larson at Bristol what many people consider right and justified, Larson fans, of course, didn’t think so. The Stewart Haas Racing driver and the #5 had a bit of a thing going on during last week’s dirt race, from which the latter came out worse.

And as if things weren’t sour enough for the Larson fanbase after that, the guy who they deemed responsible for ending their race at Bristol got the pole position at Martinsville.

But as you’d expect, Larson fans weren’t particularly pleased with that.

So considering what happened last week and the current state of things, the fans of the 2021 Cup champ weren’t really happy with Preece’s achievement.

Preece spoke after grabbing the first Cup pole of his career. He opened up on his mentality, where he sees himself, and how he feels about not starting in the back.

“As a race car driver you want to come here, you want to compete, you want to win races and I know my team is capable of that. I know I’m capable of that,” Preece said as per Motorsport. “It’s really just been trying to put it all together and get the finishes that you feel you deserve.

“It’s nice to not be starting in the back for one week. We have such a fast (car) and I’m really looking forward to tomorrow.”

With that said, do you think Preece can capitalize on his pole in the race? Or could Kyle Larson have his payback day?
