Sad News: Denny Hamlin Angrily Ends The Relationship He Has With Kyle Larson Due To…….read more

Kyle Larson and Denny Hamlin have unquestionably been two of the best cars each Sunday through the first 19 races of the 2024 N

ASCAR Cup Series campaign. Both have three wins, along with Larson’s Hendrick Motorsports teammate William Byron and are considered favorites to reach the Championship 4 race in Phoenix.

Running in the front of the field, where every move matters more, is where rivalries are born. The rivalry between the two drivers has been a hot topic of conversation in NASCAR circles this week after incidents in consecutive weeks at New Hampshire and Nashville. The 2021 champion addressed the subject during a July 4 appearance on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio

“I think Nashville was really the first time I got to — I feel like in my mind — show that I’m over it or like over the way that I’ve been raced,” Larson said, talking about an incident late in Stage 2 where he slid up the track and took Hamlin with him up toward the wall. “Now, going forward, I think I’m ready to move on. Like, I’ve got zero issues at this point. I would like a little bit of respect on the racetrack and a little bit more room than maybe I’ve been given.

“And yeah, I think if we can do that, we can go back to racing fair and challenging each other fairly for wins because I think that we are the two top teams in the sport right now. So we’re going to be battling for a lot more wins together and all that throughout the races and all that. So I’ve enjoyed racing in the past. It’s just we’ve had a few run-ins but, like I said, I’m ready to just move on and and go back to having fun racing each other. Nashville is what it is and like I said, just ready to move on.”
