If he's that concerned about points racing Russ, he shouldn't have driven down into the path of a faster car that had a run on him. He tried to block Larson and it just didn't work out. What's Kyle supposed to do? Not race him because he's someone in the points chase?

Could there be any worse announcers than those guys doing the truck race? They kept me away until the last 20 laps. For Mikey and Phil Parsons to talk smack about Larson was funny. Career backmarkers giving driving advice.

BTW. Shrub got used up on the last lap. I thought he showed incredible control both on the track and in the interview.

You're right, it was a bonehead move... by Dillon... chop blocked him, maybe cost himself a championship.

I disagree, if it had been for the win on the last lap it would be understandable. But it was for third with about five laps to go. I just don't think when you are a part time driver in the series you take out a championship contender racing for third with five to go with a bonzai move.

Let me put it this way. If Kevin Swindell had shown up at the final USAC Sprint car race and with about five to go tried to pull a slider racing for third on Clauson or Darland and taken one of them out. There would be calls on here for a public lynching of Swindell.

You obvious dislike Larson very much. Watch the replay bud. Ty was not doing a very good job points racing. He was trying to keep someone way faster than him behind him and paid the price.

You're working off a false premise in your post. He didn't take anybody out with a bonsai move. That's not what happened. Dillon moved down into him. If you want to blame someone, blame Dillon's spotter.

The bonehead move was the blocking. I am so tired of this "let them go" mentality. The whole point of racing is to win. The Champion should be the driver who wins the most races, period. Maybe if more people raced to win, the stands would be full. This goes for the local track all the way to the professional level.

When you have to go to the apron because someone is trying to block you, I'd say you did everything you could to miss him.

Also , what the H#LL is racing too hard? I've heard a lot of junk from NASCRAP, but that is downright stupid.

I have nothing against Kyle Larson. I think he is a heck of a race car driver. He also seems like a very nice respectful young man. I would love to see him live out his dream of racing full time with the World of Outlaws. It would be interesting to see what he could do running against the best full time in a first class ride. I also can't blame him for giving that up to chase the big time money. All that being said it was still a boneheaded move. It's just something you don't do in that situation.

He was down low way before Austin. If your racing up front and faster then anybody. You should not have to slow cause another driver made a "bonehead" move. Ill have to go with everyone else. It was not Kyle's fault.
