Unfortunately, the Hendrick Motorsports driver fell to 30th and never really recovered.

He said, “The reason Chase didn’t answer is that I don’t think he knows. I think he’s like, I need to go back and watch. I need to go back and watch the in-car. And when you’re standing on pit Road and they show you the replay, you’re kind of looking at it. But you’re also there’s a lot going on.”

Larson’s former teammate then made fun of the watermelon man completely losing all his fans. “Ross went from like, the Penthouse to the Bowhouse. I’m like, man, this guy was a rockstar ast weekend. Any anyone he gave, he totally lost him in one move at Phoenix. But I don’t think Chase knew who was in the right or wrong there, because I think depending on which side of the team you’re on, you could have seen it either way.”‘

He explained, “I think Chase was being like a little cautious, not turning down, but below the start-finish line too early. And Ross doesn’t give a damn about anything, it’s like there’s no rules for him. So to me, I think it was too aggressive.”
