Kyle Larson’s team was not at all happy with Kyle Busch after the two drivers were involved in an incident at the end of Sunday’s stage two in the Enjoy Illinois 300.
Larson and Busch got involved with each other around turn two at Gateway, and Busch seemed to take issue with Larson coming up along his side. Busch seemingly pushed Larson down the track, which led to both of them spinning out and into the wall.
Larson and his crew placed the blame firmly on Busch, with Larson saying Busch “turned into me.” Larson’s crew was even less diplomatic than that.

“Yeah, he f—ing crowded you down. F—ing total idiot,” the crew responded.
It’s hardly anything new for Busch, who has ticked off his fair share of people. Larson, however, seems to be a fan — at least most of the time.
Larson got the last laugh in this incident, though. He met the minimum speed and was able to continue. Busch did not, and was done for the day.
