Kyle Larson Branded the “Worst Teammate Ever” After Apparent Chase Elliott Dirty Move at Watkins Glen

There’s no ‘I’ in the word ‘team’. However, the Hendrick Motorsports driver, Kyle Larson, arguably didn’t show the behavior expected from a teammate. At least this is what the NASCAR fans proposed, or should we say Elliott fans suggested?

On the restart, with only five laps remaining at Watkins Glen, Larson strong armed Elliott, which made him miss the corner. And later on, resulted in Larson earning his second victory this season.

In the post-race interview, Larson admitted that he is not proud of the move he made on the restart. But also added that it was his only opportunity to win and benefit them in the playoffs.

“If you had one shot, or one opportunity, to seize everything you wanted,” the lyrics of ‘Lose yourself’ by Eminem come to my mind after hearing what Larson said in the post-race interview.
