Kyle Larson on his overtime wreck with Ross Chastain: ‘I hate that for Ross’

Steve Roberts-USA TODAY Sports

Kyle Larson was not happy with wrecking Ross Chastain during overtime of the Cup Series race at Nashville Superspeedway. After the race, Larson explained what happened during the wreck that caused Chastain a chance at possibly winning or being in the top five.

“I got in hot, got myself hot,” Larson said. “Hate that.” Larson then added that he was happy to finish in the top 10 but was “disappointed” with the outcome.

Before wrecking Chastain, Larson was riding Denny Hamlin, but he made it clear that he wasn’t sending a message to him. “Just trying to race for the win,” Larson explained. “Was hoping to kind of get him out of shape and get me some clean air to the bottom. …Ended up getting myself tight and into Ross. Like I said I hate that for Ross. Just doing what I thought I needed to do to try to get myself a decent opportunity to get some clean air and get myself a shot to win.”
