Denny Hamlin and Kyle Larson have collected three NASCAR Cup Series wins in the 2024 season. Each driver is racing for competitive teams in search of a championship.

Hear from Kyle Larson below.
Two weeks ago, Hamlin ran Larson wide at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. It caused Larson’s spotter to speak up over the No. 5 team radio.
Tyler Monn (#5 Spotter): “He runs you like that every time. Do you know why? Because you let it happen.”

In the very next week at Nashville Superspeedway, the two drivers found themselves in another heated battle. Larson might have had a score to settle so he ran Hamlin wide. It was near identical to the move Hamlin pulled on him the week prior.

Kyle Larson comments after recent incidents with Denny Hamlin
“Where I’m at I think, you know, Nashville is really the first time that I’ve got to, you know, I feel like in my mind, show that I’m over it,” Kyle Larson said on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
“Or like over the way that I’ve been raced. Now going forward I think I’m ready to move on, I’ve got zero issue at this point. I would like a little bit of respect on the race track and a little bit more room than maybe I’ve been given.”
“Yeah, I think if we do that we can go back to racing fair and challenging each other fairly for wins. … I think that we are the two top teams in the sport right now so we’re going to be battling for a lot more wins together and all that throughout the races and all that.”
“So, I’ve enjoyed racing him in the past, it’s just we’ve had a few run-ins. Like I said, I’m ready to just move on and go back to having fun racing each other. Nashville is what it is and like I said, ready to move on.”
“I think that’s where, yeah, I’m at now,” Larson explained. “I mean, to move on from it you kinda gotta forget about past history and I’m willing to do that. I’m going racing on my part, so yeah, we’ll see how it all goes from here on forward.”
Today, NASCAR takes the green flag on the Chicago Street Course.
