Kyle Larson hopes there's no 'hard feelings' between himself and Martin Truex Jr. after they collided in the final moments of Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series race at Richmond (Va.) Raceway.
Larson dominated the first part of the event from pole position before a mid-race caution allowed Truex to take control. Later on, the battle for the win appeared as if it was going to be between Truex and Larson, with Larson beating him out of the pits during the final cycle of green-flag stops. However, Truex quickly regained the lead while Larson faded down the running order. Although Joey Logano and Denny Hamlin were closing, Truex seemed set to claim victory.
I figured in three and four I was going to use him up a little bit. 'I think he is more mad at Denny, but I was the closest one to take his anger out on. I haven't seen a replay either. I'm guessing the replay looks the way I kind of saw one and two, and then he'll realize that and probably be all right.' Larson has 'a lot of respect' for Truex He then went on to praise Truex as 'the most respected guy in the garage area.
