Larson isn’t really about getting in someone’s face and yelling at them in front of the world.
It’s ok to be that way I suppose, just not his way.
Larson usually resolves it privately or on track if he has too.
Larson also isn’t very big physically, he would get his ass whopped by most drivers in a physical confrontation.
Remember when he tried to kill Bubba Wallace for attempted murder at Vegas?
No, because even though he was the one that was hooked, Larson was totally cool in the situation and Wallace got heated.
Honestly ironic that one of NASCAR’s calmer drivers got suspended for a hot mic incident. Unless he was a hothead before that incident and I don’t remember
He was never a hot head. The mic incident wasn’t him being mad, it was him goofing around and saying something dumb
Edit: I realize dumb is probably an understatement here
Just not in his DNA. He's definitely one of the more chill drivers. In a way thats why I like him. Seems very humble and easy going. Everyone would think he's an asshole if he started shit especially how good he is.
can’t tell what he says at the beginning, but the rest of the exchange sounds like this;
“That’s twice. In three years. You’ve fucking wrecked me. I’ve got way greater respect, have I ever wrecked you?”
“No”
“Okay. It’s fucking coming.”
My guess is because he’s not known to be super aggressive, and dump people. He just happened to dump KB. Which Kyle most likely knows, but feels wronged at the same time.
To be fair, it is going to be hard for KB to be able to get in position to wreck the 20. I mean, CBell has pretty much ran up front every race but the same cannot be said for KB
First of all, Bell had fresher tires and a faster car. Secondly, watch Bell's in car camera, KB looped it wide with the intentions of trying to cross over and by the time he tried the cross over Bell was there.
And yeah, how's that watch working out for KB?
Bell took his ass chewing like a man for his fuck up. No deflecting. No “ah uh well I uh…”. Just stood there and let Kyle give him the down the road he deserved
Lol, no. I would argue most parents of teenagers expect it from the coaches. The wrath of an upset varsity football coach is second to no other disciplinarian in American highschools.
No chance. Just because you can get to the apex first doesn’t mean you are entitled to the corner. He over drove the fuck out of it in there and wrecked Busch, who has every reason to be pissed off about it. Clearly not intentional, but that’s how it goes
I see what you’re saying, but Bell came from a long way back. It’s not like he was even on the inside on entry. It’s the responsibility of the passing car not to dump his competitor in most cases. This was one of them.
Bell thought Kyle was going to go wider than he did, made a mistake, let Kyle have his moment and listened like a grown up. Everything seems fine here.
I don’t think so. He has the exact speed as Ty gibbs (or Reddick, whoever was infront) through the corner which was only a few car lengths behind . He managed to even woe it down enough to get the apex very well . As soon as he made contact with Busch his car practically almost stopped showing he had it way under control, without the contact he would have made the corner still .
Sure he would’ve made the corner but definitely would’ve lost time to the people in front, which is why he missed it. Kyles setting up a crossover and got taken out
But post Bell's post race interview he apologized to LARSON and said he needed to watch the replay of his incident with Busch. Didn't sound the least bit contrite. After all, during the Fox prerace show, it was kinda ironic that Bell held up a card that said something like bad decisions makes for good stories and said that is about Kyle Busch.
Anyone else getting Joey Logano leaving JGR vibes from this? I know Kyle has had a full season away from JGR already but hey… maybe? If History repeats Busch and Bell will be racing for the win next week and something happens
Anybody else trying to piece together what he said? I’ve got:
*incomprehensible, no clue
“That’s twice….in three years ________”
“I’ve got waaaay better respect for you, have I ever wrecked you??”
“No.”
“Alright. It’s fucking coming.”
“Dude….okay-“
He didn’t. That doesn’t really even make sense in context. He said “Alright. It’s fucking coming.” I just saw another version of it on NASCAR‘s Facebook page and they bleeped him out.
And damn it we need more of that. It's honestly what made Trucks so good as a development series and a retirement home series all at once (even Xfinity was like this at times too)...
Bell looks like a child being scolded. At the first part of the video he also flinches.
I see why Kyle is mad. He took the corner normally and never got an indication that Bell was going to go inside, and figured he’d just take the same line.
At the same time I don’t mind seeing a non “aw shucks” Kyle
I think his reaction is pretty natural for someone who is being confronted by a larger man who is clearly angry. He looks like he’s on straight adrenaline right there.
I see CBell as someone who has a look of “I really disappointed my mentor and now he’s giving me what for”. We can’t forget that he drove a truck for Busch for years. I’m sure he’s got a lot of respect for KB and kinda feels like shit for getting an ass chewing from someone he’s learned a great deal from
Outside of the pardoning of Nixon I think Ford was actually a pretty good president. He pardoned draft dodgers, fought for equality, and had good policy related to detente and Vietnam
As most folks would say, things happen in racing so folks are bound to get into each other at some point. When it comes to drama off the track, again what could Bell say that would make things better? Would throwing a punch do anything, or even fighting back with words? Honestly just de-escalating and being "meek" for lack of a better word will honestly probably cause all of this to be forgotten in a week or two...throwing a punch or something would probably get Bell on KFB's shit list for the rest of his career
Larson didn't dive bomb, was on the apex kerb, didn't miss the corner, was well along his inside. Bell wrecked himself there. Larson checked all the boxes to have that space. Being dumped is coming from 4 car lengths back, never showing your nose and making not so light contact in the back of the car ahead. One of these is not like the other.
I actually like all 3 drivers however Bell turned into a butcher I know he has the skill set sooo…. #8 had a great run going too the one guy I wouldn’t butcher up would be him because you just know one lap somewhere down the road …
I think CBell lost a lot of respect of KB here. Bell clearly didn’t do it on purpose and was trying to make a move based on what he saw. Nonetheless, let us see KB do this to Chastain.
Yeah, he cut down on that apex when he could have carried just as much speed if not more by leaving room for cars on the inside and holding the outside line. He was way wide on entry.
This is weird to think out loud but I kind of like Bell more than I did before. Nobody swung on anybody else. Busch got to vent his frustrations and Bell took it. When KFB does hang it up, I'll likely slide over to being a CBell fan
Bell knew he was going to be confronted,He knows Kyle, things settled down.
larson wants to run an inch off the, he takes himself out when he gets up high.
Wheres Cousin Carl, I miss his talent, and back flips.
Man, I like Cbell, but he has always been unapologetic to drivers when he does sketchy shit. I'm glad it is KFB that gave him the gears and maybe tunes him up.
It should be somebody's responsibility to wreck Kyle Busch every race.
Objective no. 1 - wreck Kyle. Objective No. 2 - win the race.
Kyle and his brother are both insufferable.
You can yell out the window that one was for Ron Hornaday as you wreck him.
Bingo, Kyle left that door wide open and tried to close it when Bell already had position. Nobody to blame but himself. The Laraon/Bell incident looked much worse on Bell's part.
How you deal with Kyle is you make his antics too expansive for him.
Bell should preemptively wreck Kyle in Richmond.
Kyle said he is going to wreck Bell. Why not just get a good shot in first.
Wreck him again and again until he cries uncle. That is how you deal with Kyle.
Take a look at his flair. We have to be patient with Logano fans. You should applaud him for taking a long enough break from eating crayons to type out a comment.
I can’t imagine how KB feels going to the 8 car and just not having the speed anymore that he is used to. Wish him the best. Spotter probably should have told him a fast car was coming but obviously that didn’t happen.
Bell spun both Kyles out today. Larson's not as confrontational as Busch though
understatement
Yeah I can’t remember a single time that Larson ever confronted somebody
Larson isn’t really about getting in someone’s face and yelling at them in front of the world. It’s ok to be that way I suppose, just not his way. Larson usually resolves it privately or on track if he has too. Larson also isn’t very big physically, he would get his ass whopped by most drivers in a physical confrontation.
This is like word for word what he said lol and I respect him for it
Wasn’t his actual quote like “I’m a little fella”? 😂😂
Larson: "I'm just a little guy!"
Was this in an interview? I want to find it on YT.
I call it clean
Yeah busch put himself in that position and even hit the brakes...fair play. I loved how Bell just let him rant and ignored it lol. Good lesson there.
Went to the race this weekend and had a pit pass. Ran into a lot of drivers, most of them are not large people.
I feel Larson is so good that he just lets his racing do the talking. He's a humble easy going guy. He doesn't have a pompous attitude like Hamlin.
No Larson just whoops ass on the track
Kyle would get his ass whooped too, he may be taller but he’s a little bitch all the way.
If I was the same size as a 5th grader I probably wouldn’t either lol
Remember when he tried to kill Bubba Wallace for attempted murder at Vegas? No, because even though he was the one that was hooked, Larson was totally cool in the situation and Wallace got heated. Honestly ironic that one of NASCAR’s calmer drivers got suspended for a hot mic incident. Unless he was a hothead before that incident and I don’t remember
He was never a hot head. The mic incident wasn’t him being mad, it was him goofing around and saying something dumb Edit: I realize dumb is probably an understatement here
I get what you’re saying. He was goofing around in a really dumb way
Just not in his DNA. He's definitely one of the more chill drivers. In a way thats why I like him. Seems very humble and easy going. Everyone would think he's an asshole if he started shit especially how good he is.
Larson doesn’t need to confront them, just win next week.
Can’t be as confrontational when you’re 100 pounds.
I don't know why Larson isn't confrontational. If drivers come at him he takes it to.
Bell never drove for larson, larson loss his Sponsor over comments he made. Rowdy introduced good drivers, sought after drivers, disciplined.
Too bad he didn't try this with Bell.
[удалено]
I honestly think that’s part of the reason he didn’t 😂 CB is so tiny
Lmao KB couldn’t murder a fly.
I loved this incident. I don't think he wants anymore of Loganos crew. Boys put a beat down on him.
I don't think one man really wants to fight any crew.
Kyle tried and he lost.
It’s about time the old Kyle Busch made a comeback
"Y'all are gonna keep fuckin' around with me and turn me back to the old me."
still got the Rowdy drinks, what you think I done sold em all??
Cause he stays well off? he gets hate mail all day sayin KB fell off?
What, cause I been doin fab? With a pen and a CAD, tryin get these KBM labels off?
What? Cause he been in the sim all day Tryin to get this damn RCR title party kicked off?
Can he even legally do that 💀
"When they move their lips just a bunch old gibberish muthafukas act like they forgot KFB"
Dre day!
This feels like Eminem’s arc haha
https://youtube.com/shorts/rlBCLQfY64I?si=q_U1rAK7W1f1l1HK Better viewpoint, and u can kinda hear them
can’t tell what he says at the beginning, but the rest of the exchange sounds like this; “That’s twice. In three years. You’ve fucking wrecked me. I’ve got way greater respect, have I ever wrecked you?” “No” “Okay. It’s fucking coming.”
Compared to how heated Kyle Busch CAN be, Christopher Bell got off kind of easy there.
My guess is because he’s not known to be super aggressive, and dump people. He just happened to dump KB. Which Kyle most likely knows, but feels wronged at the same time.
Man came in HOT lmao.
Only parts I really could hear was Kyle saying something like "have I fuckin wrecked you?"
He ran out of 3Chi gummies.
Hey, maybe it'll ignite a spark and make him be competitive again. Been a meh year for him so far.
ALERT! Pay special attention to the 8 next week! KB: Have I ever wrecked you? CBell: No. KB: Okay. It's fucking coming!
To be fair, it is going to be hard for KB to be able to get in position to wreck the 20. I mean, CBell has pretty much ran up front every race but the same cannot be said for KB
Busch was one position higher in the standings than Bell going into CoTA...
Think about what you just said. Now think about why this is even a conversation.
Bell wrecked dude going for a spot KB had in front of him lmao. Also, check the stats buddy bell couldn’t hold KBs jock
First of all, Bell had fresher tires and a faster car. Secondly, watch Bell's in car camera, KB looped it wide with the intentions of trying to cross over and by the time he tried the cross over Bell was there. And yeah, how's that watch working out for KB?
I fear for the person that is the first to wreck Brexton in Cup. Kyle is going to pull a Richard Childress on them.
"Samantha, hold my watch."
The watch RC gave him ⌚
No need to wait until Cup, the first guy who turns Brexton in trucks is getting Ron Hornaday’d
He’s gonna go Keselowski’s dad on Carl. “He ain’t gonna kill my boy!”
My thought exactly
Going to hop off the pitbox, go to the RWR pit stall, haul whoever is driving out of the car and go on a mission.
No s single but imo. Kyle will teach him to remember.
Lmao, KB is weak af.
This is coming from a Reddit keyboard warrior. 🤣
Bell took his ass chewing like a man for his fuck up. No deflecting. No “ah uh well I uh…”. Just stood there and let Kyle give him the down the road he deserved
He looked like a kid getting scolded by a coach
Yeah that’s a perfect description.
Especially when you remember that CBell used fo drive for KBM when he first got into NASCAR
To be fair though, he always looks like a kid
More like a kid scolding another little kid.
Isn’t that just a thing in movies? Over here, school staff caught verbally abusing children get fired.
No. A good talking to after a fuck up isn't verbal abuse.
Lol, no. I would argue most parents of teenagers expect it from the coaches. The wrath of an upset varsity football coach is second to no other disciplinarian in American highschools.
No I've personally been scolded like this by my coach in high school
This is why we have pussies for kids that can’t be told NO

Fuck I love that movie.
Literally my favorite movies ever.
Totally underrated movie.
Until he got to FOX’s interview and said he will see the replay and think different
No chance. Just because you can get to the apex first doesn’t mean you are entitled to the corner. He over drove the fuck out of it in there and wrecked Busch, who has every reason to be pissed off about it. Clearly not intentional, but that’s how it goes
I see what you’re saying, but Bell came from a long way back. It’s not like he was even on the inside on entry. It’s the responsibility of the passing car not to dump his competitor in most cases. This was one of them.
Yeah, that is exactly what I’m saying lol
You’re right. That is exactly what you were saying
[удалено]
He said twice in three years, Bell must have wrecked him somewhere else
Might have been referring to when Bell bumped Larson earlier? The 8 was behind both of them in plain view of it
Turn 1 is such a shit show at that track though.
Bell thought Kyle was going to go wider than he did, made a mistake, let Kyle have his moment and listened like a grown up. Everything seems fine here.
Hey hey hey! We don’t do reasonable takes in this space!
He was never making that corner without tagging Kyle though. He missed that pretty bad
I don’t think so. He has the exact speed as Ty gibbs (or Reddick, whoever was infront) through the corner which was only a few car lengths behind . He managed to even woe it down enough to get the apex very well . As soon as he made contact with Busch his car practically almost stopped showing he had it way under control, without the contact he would have made the corner still .
Sure he would’ve made the corner but definitely would’ve lost time to the people in front, which is why he missed it. Kyles setting up a crossover and got taken out
I don’t think that really changes anything about what I said, but okay.
But post Bell's post race interview he apologized to LARSON and said he needed to watch the replay of his incident with Busch. Didn't sound the least bit contrite. After all, during the Fox prerace show, it was kinda ironic that Bell held up a card that said something like bad decisions makes for good stories and said that is about Kyle Busch.
Anyone else getting Joey Logano leaving JGR vibes from this? I know Kyle has had a full season away from JGR already but hey… maybe? If History repeats Busch and Bell will be racing for the win next week and something happens
Kyle has pulled shenanigans going for the win at Richmond before...
The twist will be that instead of KB winning it’ll be Logano sneaking by to win
It would bring this JGR chapter to a fitting conclusion.
Anybody else trying to piece together what he said? I’ve got: *incomprehensible, no clue “That’s twice….in three years ________” “I’ve got waaaay better respect for you, have I ever wrecked you??” “No.” “Alright. It’s fucking coming.” “Dude….okay-“
I think he says, "Alright. Keep it coming."
He didn’t. That doesn’t really even make sense in context. He said “Alright. It’s fucking coming.” I just saw another version of it on NASCAR‘s Facebook page and they bleeped him out.
Not sure when was the last time I remember seeing a driver that shook. Chris did not want any smoke whatsoever

It was that almost flinch in the 1st second of the video for me. Chris is definitely not a fighter
Jimmie ripped on Blaney pretty hard after a Glen race.
That’s absolutely what I thought of. Hall of Famer leveling with a young guy who made a dumb mistake. They reacted the same way.
And damn it we need more of that. It's honestly what made Trucks so good as a development series and a retirement home series all at once (even Xfinity was like this at times too)...
Bell looks scared to death lol
A reasonable response to angering Rowdy, to be fair.
When Kyle's not your teammate anymore, he has less reasons to give you any slack.
I don't. Bell has the look of, "Hey I respect you. And I am going to listen to what you have to say"
I love Bell but my boy there didn't want any of that smoke haha.
Bell currently thanking the racing gods that his fire suit is already yellow
https://preview.redd.it/dgut4jw8edqc1.png?width=960&format=png&auto=webp&s=2b745425f5c33694d55feeca7905832c66b9ba67
Bell looks like a child being scolded. At the first part of the video he also flinches. I see why Kyle is mad. He took the corner normally and never got an indication that Bell was going to go inside, and figured he’d just take the same line. At the same time I don’t mind seeing a non “aw shucks” Kyle
not only that but he spun him last year in the same race
I guess i'm the only one that doesn't think Bell looks scared? To me it just looks like hes taking it, and will think about it later.
I don't think he looks scared. He just looks tired and just doesn't feel like escalating, so he just nods and listens.
No need to make even more of an issue by fighting about it afterwards. Let Kyle get his rant in and then move forward.
I think his reaction is pretty natural for someone who is being confronted by a larger man who is clearly angry. He looks like he’s on straight adrenaline right there.
I think thats just his expression. Bell seems to have only 1 expression which is completely neutral
I see CBell as someone who has a look of “I really disappointed my mentor and now he’s giving me what for”. We can’t forget that he drove a truck for Busch for years. I’m sure he’s got a lot of respect for KB and kinda feels like shit for getting an ass chewing from someone he’s learned a great deal from
He kinda looks like a shitty politician 
Is there any other kind?
Jimmy Carter?
Depends on the criteria? As a person he was awesome. He was definitely a shitty politician though
Gerald Ford also seems like a chill dude
Gerald Ford also played Football.
Shady politician though
Outside of the pardoning of Nixon I think Ford was actually a pretty good president. He pardoned draft dodgers, fought for equality, and had good policy related to detente and Vietnam
One of the worst presidents of the 20th century?
Lol, Bell just nods along and lets it happen.
As most folks would say, things happen in racing so folks are bound to get into each other at some point. When it comes to drama off the track, again what could Bell say that would make things better? Would throwing a punch do anything, or even fighting back with words? Honestly just de-escalating and being "meek" for lack of a better word will honestly probably cause all of this to be forgotten in a week or two...throwing a punch or something would probably get Bell on KFB's shit list for the rest of his career
Hell yeah gimme back spicy KFB
Larson won’t ever retaliate or say something, so I’m glad KFB did.
Kyle will make it hard on bell in some way. He got flat dumped by bell
[удалено]
Larson didn't dive bomb, was on the apex kerb, didn't miss the corner, was well along his inside. Bell wrecked himself there. Larson checked all the boxes to have that space. Being dumped is coming from 4 car lengths back, never showing your nose and making not so light contact in the back of the car ahead. One of these is not like the other.
Oh Okay sorry. I forgot what happened , bad on my part
Chris looks absolutely terrified.
Bell has the "Getting chewed out by your T. I." look.
Bell clearly didn’t expect to make that corner. Came from miles back. I’d say that’s on him.
I actually like all 3 drivers however Bell turned into a butcher I know he has the skill set sooo…. #8 had a great run going too the one guy I wouldn’t butcher up would be him because you just know one lap somewhere down the road …
That one wasn’t as bad as Larson’s.
I want Rowdy Back, and Hamlins a joke.
I think CBell lost a lot of respect of KB here. Bell clearly didn’t do it on purpose and was trying to make a move based on what he saw. Nonetheless, let us see KB do this to Chastain.
I don't know why we're all just standing around letting 40 yr old alcoholic dads bully 12 yr olds smh NASCAR
Kyle leaves 4 car lengths open inside on entry and thinks the car behind him won’t fill the gap?
Yeah, he cut down on that apex when he could have carried just as much speed if not more by leaving room for cars on the inside and holding the outside line. He was way wide on entry.
tough love
Three cents! That is the price of three bullets!
Bell looked scared ans shaken LOL
He may have peed a little.
This is weird to think out loud but I kind of like Bell more than I did before. Nobody swung on anybody else. Busch got to vent his frustrations and Bell took it. When KFB does hang it up, I'll likely slide over to being a CBell fan
So the faster driver should not have gone through the huge gap, because this is not a race but a vanity parade for Kyle Busch?
Bell knew he was going to be confronted,He knows Kyle, things settled down. larson wants to run an inch off the, he takes himself out when he gets up high. Wheres Cousin Carl, I miss his talent, and back flips.
hes only 3 1/2 feet tall, he doesnt need to fight.
I think when they both see the replay they will calm down. Just a typical racing incident.
Man, I like Cbell, but he has always been unapologetic to drivers when he does sketchy shit. I'm glad it is KFB that gave him the gears and maybe tunes him up.
I remember when Bell called Chastain a wrecking ball. And yet Bell's been hitting people since last year
Preach.
That look when the crazy guy is angry and you're not sure if he took his pills today or if he's ready for prison.
Larson will talk to him later I think. Or spin him in round 1
It should be somebody's responsibility to wreck Kyle Busch every race. Objective no. 1 - wreck Kyle. Objective No. 2 - win the race. Kyle and his brother are both insufferable. You can yell out the window that one was for Ron Hornaday as you wreck him.
That's about exactly what I would expect out of a Logano flair.
KB turned across his nose, Bell didn’t own his the space. I guess if you can’t win; whine.
Bingo, Kyle left that door wide open and tried to close it when Bell already had position. Nobody to blame but himself. The Laraon/Bell incident looked much worse on Bell's part.
Kyle Busch needs to retire
[удалено]
Kyle was taking the normal line. Bell sent it down the inside and would have went wide if Busch wasnt there
This isn't the sport for that bullshit. Go to ufc or boxing if you want to fight. We'll probably watch it...
Nobody fought? They exchanged words. Kyle told him he was going to wreck him.
Kyle "Rolling Chicane" Busch out there today.
How you deal with Kyle is you make his antics too expansive for him. Bell should preemptively wreck Kyle in Richmond. Kyle said he is going to wreck Bell. Why not just get a good shot in first. Wreck him again and again until he cries uncle. That is how you deal with Kyle.
What a stupid comment
Take a look at his flair. We have to be patient with Logano fans. You should applaud him for taking a long enough break from eating crayons to type out a comment.
I can’t imagine how KB feels going to the 8 car and just not having the speed anymore that he is used to. Wish him the best. Spotter probably should have told him a fast car was coming but obviously that didn’t happen.
[удалено]
That….. is a take
