I love how Chase always shuts down the media / journalists and is just respectful and doesn’t feed the drama 💙

Questions like this are why Kyle Busch eventually started treating the "journalists" with such disdain.

I think It's quite clear he's pissed about the situation and doesn't want to feed into their frenzy because it's just drama for the team

This is great to see!! 2 drivers at the top of their game, going head to head within the same organization! Reminds me of Jimmie and Jeff!

Geez, this shows more of the media trying to start drama and escalate stuff than what is between Kyle and Chase.

Race fans, take note. This is how two Champions/Gentlemen handle a touchy situation. Good on them.

This is why Im a big fan of both, Keep it up

The reaction by both of them is why and what makes them great champions and class A race car drivers

Anybody remember the quote, “I think ol 4 time is a little upset” (Jeff towards Jimmie) ? Nothing but friendly competition between two great drivers who just so happen to be teammates.

Media sure does like to try and start something here. They both race for a living, both know what a win means to their team and sponsors, and understand the gloves are off the last few laps of a race. The media needs to let this go, these two men will sort this out amoung themselves. After all, as seen in the interviews, they are both professionals!

I'll give Chase credit for staying calm about this whole deal. I'm a Larson fan, that said...Chase has a reason to be pissed off...big time. To just keep deflecting the questions is pretty respectable, as he tries not to keep the drama going by giving the media the real cold hard take

Don't remember Dale sitting with fellow drivers over a Latte telling them how sorry he was to move them out of the way !!!

Basicly they both politely said, quit trying to cause problems over a racing deal. We both can't win

The media just has to make this a fight, it was racing and they are both professionals.

It’s called a race for a reason , team mates or not they were both racing for the same spot . That’s it .

Chase is awesome!!!!! Says it all without saying anything negative.

If there isn't any animosity between these 2 exceptional drivers, the "reporters" surely try to create it. They always keep stirring the pot to create drama.

Chase is a team driver! He’s my favorite driver since Gordon retired. He’s going to win a lot of races and more championships

What gets me is how the media trys and start stuff. My cousin was pissed also and said I ain't pulling for larson no more that was bs he locked the brakes and slid into my door. He doesn't nor does the media realize larson comes from a background of dirt racing and still does race on dirt. When you race with your buddies the only people you want to beat regardless if you door them or not is YOUR buddies. Everyone knows that even though you care for the guy that you just bumped doors with yes he might be pissed off at you for that. That coming Monday or Tuesday he's gonna be right back there in the shop helping you fix his car and your own. Dirt racing, where teamates doesn't really help out where your points are if he wins or doesn't does not matter one bit at all. Regardless. You race the race for you. That's the way the local races of dirt has always been and always will be.

Chase is showing some sarcasm. Love it!

Kyle, don't apologize. It's a race, on the track, all bets are off. May the best man win. And you're the best

You can tell chase is clearly pissed. Just great competitor. I applause both drivers for how they handled this and the questions. Kyle busch should take note.

These media remind me when someone from the media would shove a mike into the drivers door after the race and were surprised with the drivers attitude when they thought they were doing their jobs. I recall when Rusty Wallace grabbed the mike away from the media person and gave him what for. Larson admitted he locked up his fault, but going for the win. Chase was trying to be polite since neither had seen the video(obviously) and not hang the dirty laundry out for all to see.

It’s crazy Larson can never take blame.

So did anybody pick up on why Chase kept bringing up Bristol? If you can't think why, think back to last year.

Chase had a Kyle Busch interview! Hell yea!

Jeff Gordon is like hell yes go for win.

Thats Racing to Win.

I keep thinking this is getting blown way out of proportion. But then I keep coming back to what Harvick said after Martinsville 2020. These guy would rather race for wins and the regular season championship, than the actual championship

Remember in Rocky when the journalist gets fed up with Rocky being nice and asks " Can you tell us something derogatory about the champ?? " Haha. This video reminds me of that.

When did it become a gentleman's game. Your racing to win you go for it.

I don't understand why the media seems to be trying to make a mess out of this and stir a pot that barely even exists if at all.... Yeah sure your team mates but that doesn't mean you don't trade paint and try for the lead when your sub 10 laps in... To not do so is just rediculouse especially when Hendric wants all his driver's to get as far in the chase as they can. Hendrics ideal championship run is all Hendric cars at the final four. This just helps move that goal forward.

Everything’s great just looking forward to getting back into my race car

When you have 2 top notch drivers on a top notch team these are things that will happen going for a win at the end of the race.

Your a good man Chase! 👍

OMG. It's just racing man. The intimidator would've told them that's it. See ya next week 😎🏁

When asked if he thought he made any mistakes I'm sure Chase was being sarcastic when he answered "yeah, i'm sure it's my fault". Chase didn't make any mistakes as far as driving and pure racing goes. Where he did make a mistake, is when he thought he could trust Larson not to do what he did. After the Auto Club race back in February where Larson flat out dirty blocked Chase into the wall and then claimed he didn't see him (bullsh*t), and now with this incident at Watkins Glen, Chase now has a better picture/idea on how to really trust Larson going forward. Hint: he can't. As with Ross Chastain and some of his antics, those kinds of antics have "and will" cost Larson dearly. Once you lose the trust factor, especially of a teammate, get ready for changes in how they race you back and ready for the shit show that will eventually find you.

W to that reporter who asked about next week and changed it

Why would you choose the outside lane on a right hand turn?

Chase seems to be the champion that wants to keep the racing on the track and leave the drama for mid-day television where it belongs.

The press is no different in sports either always trying to sling mud. Chase was a class act in this interview.

How many different reporters can ask the same question, kudos to the guy who asked about Daytona

Chase can’t wait for Bristol and I know why do you

Revenge in Bristol!!! Stay Tuned!! Que the music

It's called RACING for a reason

Itimidatetor "Dale Earnhardt" style racing is awesome! NASCAR prefers being talked about trust me!

Good hard racing love it

Look everyone...i know Larson is trying to keep it clean. But rubbng is racing have you all forgotten about that? It's been like that sence the first generation. Plus it's the new generation there still learning! I don't see why a lot of people arguing about Larsons talents. It makes really mad.

You did right Kyle. Go for the win!!!

I don't know how many others have noticed, but Kyle Larson has been using his car to either protect his position (using the right rear panel to shove someone into the wall, like he did with Chase, Kurt Busch and one other) or, Kyle Larson pushes people out of the way like he did with Chase and Ty Dillion. If Larson's last name is Chastain, everyone would be pissed off about his driving.

Don't really pull for Chase but love the way he handled this. He is obviously pissed but doesn't play into the drama machine. Keep it between the drivers and out of the press.

Maybe we watched different races. I saw AJ help and push Larson ahead of Chase . In his interview AJ even said the guys from behind came up very aggressive . Larson on the other hand said he's not proud of the way he overtake Chase , still is a win and they are racing for it . It can only be one at the end . If anyone else did that it will be called racing ,. If Larson did it it turned in to a dramatic narrative , why ?

Reporters trying to create problems and drama… moving his teammate out of the way isn’t a good look, but it was for the win. That was a 50/50 corner.

Winners win. Do what’s necessary. Apologies later. Not saying it’s right, but life is violent. Go for it or lose

I am a huge Chase Elliot fan!!!!! He has got to learn that he is no longer Batman/A team at team Hendrick, he is Robin/B team. I believe if he will ever come to grips with that, then he will win a lot of races.

Good race.

not crazy about chase but he talked like a man today

One classy driver !

They both are good

Larson did nothing that Dale Sr wouldn’t have done. If Dale had done this (and he did it many times!!), fans would be cheering for him.

Love Chase responses. They are both in playoffs. Bam. Shit happens. Often. Especially in a cup race.

I'm like this NASCAR needs some ballistic even if it's with teammates let's go racing boys

This is why i think they should do away with multicar teams you can't expect your team mate to run second all day and then roll over and let you win because you are. You have no team mate when going for the win you should race them just like everybody out there that isn't a team mate. Kyle did what he should have done race to win.

It’s racing. NASCAR. They are supposed to bounce off each other, especially for a win. Been happening since NASCAR started.

This is just good hard racing, no apologizes necessary. No one should have expected anything else. The media, as usual, are just trying to create more than is here.

You can see the difference in maturity in each interview. Chase Elliott knows he pulls crap on people all the time and you can tell he doesn't like it when it's done to him....chase is definitely not his father

You deal with it in the playoffs that's how it's done

Obviously pissed off, but unwilling to feed the drama being created by the media. Classy interview by Chase.

Chase really thought Bristol was next week 😂😂

Chase is a pro, well played

This interview is the reason why people hate the media.

Just another time where the media is trying to start something. These guy may both race for HMS, BUT this is racing….. Fan of both of these drivers. Kyle made a racing move and won.

If the roles were reversed Chase would have charged into the first corner the same way. Maybe the outcome is the same, maybe not. I’m not a fan of either driver, but it was hard racing for a win. Why are fans upset with this? I believe a lot of this fuel is because of who came out on the short end of the stick. If it had been the 18 or 11 or 22, nobody says a word.

Ask some questions other than incident at the end. Come on guys.

Used up on exit? You used him up on entry. You can guarentee it'll come full circle, too.

Um its racing and Kyle made a race winning move. Congrats to the 5. Congrats to Chase as well. It’s all about winning thats why we watch

So it was like a light bulb went off in my head the Bristol thing with Chase when he said Bristol not Daytona. He blocked Harvick at Bristol so Larson could win. Chase is just epic in his interviews lol.

IF YOUR A RACER AND YOU DONT DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO TO WIN YOUR IN THE WRONG BUSINESS. HE'S A WINNER PERIOD.

Listen nascar media corp, Chase is not frustrated at Kyle Larson, he’s frustrated at y’all bombarding him about the restart and trying to start “drama” 😑

I hate the media dude. It's racing and things like this happen. Everyone is driving in deep to get the best position they can. The cameras didn't even show the mayhem in the back on that restart.

good answer, to get the win it was required.

I seriously just want to see the final restart!!!! If it's this controversial, why has it not been posted yet?

Plain and simple, I took out my teammate to go for the win. Drove it in to hard, on purpose, to move out the 9 for the win. Done. I'm sure somewhere down the line there will be a payback coming in some manner. It doesn't need to be taking him out. It could be not helping him when he needs it. Sure Chase is hot with Kyle, for the second time, but glad Hendricks and Gordon cooled him down before the media could get to him and stir the pot. These drivers never forget.

Make no mistake Chase will not let this go unanswered. Larsen had one chance to win knock chase out of the groove. He is not Chase's team mate anymore

I agree with you, I respect reporters/ journalists but some of them insist on making the same stupid questions. It’s like they want to instigate a fight between them. I wish Chase would have asked him back “What would you have done, because whatever I did it did not work as I had it planned” I applaud both drivers , I like them both . Maybe next time Chase takes the right side lane..

Stuff Happens but I thought it interesting when Chase mentioned Bristol but then.... I thought back to Kenseth and Logano 2015 at....Bristol. Maybe Chase was putting Larson on notice.

Hard racing for a win. Chase either needed to get a better jump on the start or take the inside lane. I just wish had a better run up the Esses where he could have stayed 2nd and given Larson a race for the win. 5 probably still hangs on but it would have been fun.

Just hard racing chase is a good sport but it is racing for a win and he said Bristol again😂😂😂😂 love this guy lol

Larson is living rent free in chase head

When it comes down to the checkered flag then the teammate thing is out the window. You each are wanting the win for your sponsor , owner, then yourself, in that order!

Chase is a class act

Teammates in a good place , I think not so while ask. If you have to win dirty twice , maybe it's not worth how you treat your teammates to just have your win.

A lot of respect for these driver's for not caving in to the media bull crap Riddicous questions To bad Tony Stewart isn't sitting there he would flat out tell them you ask me a stupid question I'll give you a stupid answer Dag gone the driver's have the upmost respect for each other when you are on the race track it's every driver for themselves each driver has sponsors each driver has a crew working their butts off for THEIR driver each driver has a crew chief each driver is racing for the win so it's who ever can get to that checker flag FIRST team mates go out the window I can't stand the media trying to add drama listen to Chase he's thinking about the next race this race here is done

Give Dustin a break, he's one of the best reporters in nascar and asked a really good question.

They both are ok. And Chase won't really hold a grudge on him that's what he said. But I'm sure Larson never ment to shove Chase to hard.

Chase going to show up to Bristol next week and re-do that Michael Waltrip Napa commercial where he shows up to the wrong track. Lol

You can tell Chase is irritated, he's irritated at the media and their stupid questions

I hope some Ross Chastain's Larson. We already know his character remember he was suspended for a Year, shouldn't surprise you. Remember winning is everything.

Fan speculation here, but does he keep saying Bristol as a "I held up Harvick for him and this is how I've been paid back"?

Like AJ said "Larson is the best race car driver on the planet right now" Elliot is rightfully upset but hey there was a lot going on with the restart so i would have been disappointed if Kyle did not go for the win seeing that Elliot was probably in the wrong lane with a lot of pressure on them both from behind. Great finish big congrats to Kyle Larson.. Media move on !!!!!!!!!!
