WATCH: Chase Elliott Goes on an Epic Rant Against “Stupid M**********r” Hendrick Motorsports Teammate Kyle Larson

It’s often mentioned or emphasized that the key to Hendrick Motorsports’ success is the chemistry within the team, the family-like environment. However, as is true in all families, the members in HMS also go through rough patches. And it seems a rough patch may soon begin at Rick Hendrick’s team between defending champion Kyle Larson and fan’s darling Chase Elliott.

During the race at Fontana, homeboy Kyle Larson took the checkered flag after a display of thrilling racing in the closing laps. In fact, the whole race is being dubbed as one of the best, most exciting races in recent memory.

But while Larson had his sights on his first win of the season, the other HMS superstar Chase Elliott was also eager to be the best driver on the day, inside and outside his team. So he tried.

During the closing laps at the Auto Club Speedway, Elliott, who was making his way to the front, tried going to the right of his teammate. But just as he made the move, Larson, oblivious to Elliott’s presence, closed the door and move to his right.

As a result, Elliott’s left front made a contact with the No.5 Camaro and a few moments later, he spun out in a cloud of smoke.

After his wreck with Larson, Chase Elliott’s reaction came as a surprise for many, such was the ferocity and anger in his words.

As he spun out, he said, “Stupid m**********r!” Elliott went on, “He’s a f*****g idiot. It’s f*****g broke again. S**t m**********r! God damn it!”

“What the f**k is he doing man? It wasn’t even f*****g close. I mean I’m like, way, way outside. 

While some looked at Chase Elliott’s reaction as something that was justified, there were others who felt it was a bit exaggerated, that he should’ve kept his cool, that these things are part of the racing.

Sure, he was on the receiving end this time, but he has been on the other end too in the past.
