It’d be pretty tough to find someone who doesn’t consider Kyle Larson as one of the best drivers of this generation. But if you did find someone who thinks otherwise, just show them what the Hendrick Motorsports driver did in Miami recently.

Yes, he won, but he did so in a way only greats do.

Larson dominated the entire race, running in a class of his own. And nowhere was this more reflective than in a statistic that emerged after the race.

If the 267 laps in total at Miami were run in one go, that is, without the stage breaks, and the final positions were judged on speeds alone, Kyle Larson would’ve won the race with a 2.5-mile margin ahead of the second place.

Now, this was something that was acknowledged by fans, but at the same time, it led to criticism of the stage format of racing. You see, there’s a big chunk of the NASCAR fanbase who aren’t quite fond of the current format of racing employed by the sport.

And they made sure they called it out here as well.

Kyle Larson holds no grudge against Bubba Wallace

In an interview leading up to the race at Homestead Miami, Kyle Larson clarified his stance on Bubba Wallace, their supposed feud, and whether or not he has talked to the 23XI Racing driver.

“No, we haven’t talked, yet,” Larson said“I’m sure, we hopefully will, eventually. Honestly, I feel like a lot of people are expecting him to reach out and apologize. I don’t expect an apology, for anything.”

“I’m all good on my end.”

As for whether he needs an apology from Wallace, who put out a statement after the race in Vegas but didn’t particularly apologize to the #5 driver, Larson said he doesn’t need it anyway.

“I’m a big boy, I guess. I don’t get my feelings hurt, easy. I move on from things, really fast,” he added.
