During the Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond Raceway, Kyle Larson believes he was the outlet for Martin Truex Jr.’s frustration, as they traded shots on the final lap. Larson claims Truex hit his right front and turned left into him on the backstretch, leading to contact and a drag race to the finish line. Ultimately, Larson finished third and Truex fourth, with Larson leading the first stage and Truex claiming the second.
Ironically, Larson’s spin off Turn 4 that set up overtime was caused by contact from Bubba Wallace, but he managed to recover and restart fifth, choosing the outside lane in the second row. Larson described his outcome as “good fortune” and acknowledged Wallace’s post-race apology. Reflecting on the events, Larson appreciated his luck and acknowledged the unpredictability of racing incidents. Despite the chaos, Larson maintained a positive outlook and recognized the ups and downs of karma in racing.
