Justin Marks seems doubtful of Kyle Larson’s skills
Justin Marks took to his X account and congratulated both his drivers, Ross Chastain and Daniel Suarez. He described the race as a decisive moment in their company’s battle for better results. Along with that, he thanked Kubota Tractor Corporation, which serves as the primary sponsor for both their drivers.
“That was a battle for the company today but we closed it out in a real solid way. 4th and 11th. Thanks @kubota_usa and @Freeway_Ins,” Marks said.
However, things took a different turn when he congratulated Kyle Larson in a sarcastic manner. Referring to Larson’s recent performances, Marks said, “Congrats @KyleLarsonRacin – nice to see him win once in a while.”

Currently, the reasons behind Marks’ comment remain undisclosed. Additionally, there has been no official response from Larson regarding this matter. On another note, both Trackhouse Racing drivers #1 Chastain and #99 Suarez obtained impressive results. Chastain (P4) secured a position within the top five. He was outraced by Larson, Tyler Reddick, and Ryan Blaney. Suarez settled for the eleventh position.
Chevrolet’s remarkable achievement in the 2024 NASCAR season stands out as the first-ever manufacturer to sweep the initial two weekends of a season. Their unwavering performance across diverse track types, spanning from superspeedways to classic ovals, deserves commendation. Justin Marks acknowledged this feat and lauded the manufacturing company.
