Watch the video of Kyle Busch vs Kyle Larson at WWT Raceway
On Sunday, NASCAR raced at WWT Raceway near Downtown St. Louis, Missouri. The NASCAR Cup Series event brought a bit of drama to the 1.250-mile oval.
On the final lap of stage two, Kyle Busch and Kyle Larson were in a battle for 7th place stage ending points. Off turn four, Larson was underneath Busch but he ran wide and the two banged doors.

As they rolled down the frontstretch, Busch turned left into the side of Larson in retaliation. The No. 8 was formed a noticable gap between his car and the outside wall, indicating he was the one that caused the contact on the front stretch.
As they went into turn one, Larson had a narrow entry to the corner with Busch holding him down. Larson got loose, spun and collected Busch.
Both cars slammed the outside wall. Busch picked up enough damage to end his day while Larson was able to continue.
After the race, Larson indicated he might have picked up a flat tire before entering turn one.

Kyle Larson comments on Kyle Busch
“Yeah, we were coming to the end of that stage and I was a little better than him,” Kyle Larson told Bob Pockrass after the race.
“Tried to get to his inside and just barely touched his side. I don’t know, I think that upset him and he squeezed me.”
“Honestly, I thought I had a flat tire when I turned because the car just turned around backwards, but I think he must have taken the air off me and spun.”
