If you watch the highlights from Flo they show Sunshine passing Leary on a restarts basically the exact same way.
The difference was Larson broke it loose sooner (did he need to scrub more speed 9r was it to get a reaction from CJ?) and (my belief) being later in the race CJ stayed in it deeper into the corner instead of conceding the corner. Both differences ended up with a much tighter and exciting result... In which CJ eventually had to bail and get out of shape to avoid the wreck.
