Normally, you wouldn’t expect someone like Kyle Larson to lose his temper. In fact, it’d be pretty tough to imagine or think of a time when the Hendrick Motorsports driver lost it, be it on a racetrack or in one of his interviews.

But he recently did.
Larson lost his temper in his own cool way at a reporter post a High Series race after the reporter suggested something which the defending Cup Series champion not only disliked, but began confronting him about.
“I would like to know what drivers are not going to Jackson now that there’s this race besides..,” Larson said. “Don’t tell me, tell me who because, tell me who that is.”
“You were talking like they were going to Jackson.”
The subject of this confrontation seemed to revolve around which World Of Outlaws drivers would run the High Life series in the coming year.
“I know the Outlaw guys can’t run my race so I’m gonna try and get the guys who are going to New York to also run the race, or going to just hang around Indiana and not race in New York,” the #5 driver described. “I didn’t even think about the Outlaws.”
“You’re trying to stir the pot.”

Kyle Larson on his scary Indy crash with Ty Dillon
During the Cup race at the Indianapolis road course a couple of weeks ago, Kyle Larson seemingly lost control of his Chevy Camaro and wrecked Ty Dillon from a very strange but horrific side angle at a considerable amount of speed.
This led to many speculating whether it was a mechanical failure in his car that caused the incident, something which Hendrick Motorsports ruled out.
However, ahead of the race in Michigan, Larson admitted that the wreck was in fact, his own fault.
“Obviously just made a big mistake,” he said.
“I got in there (to the corner) deep and I got out of shape. And I was hoping that by the time I got under control, I could go straight before they turned into the corner. And once I realized that I was going to hit the (No.) 47 (of Ricky Stenhouse Jr.), I tried to just do what I could to turn right and miss both of them.
“And that obviously didn’t happen.”
