Kyle Larson tells spotter to 'shut the f*** up' after Denny Hamlin comment
Kyle Larson and Denny Hamlin made contact during the final stage of Sunday’s USA TODAY 301 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, prompting Larson to take a shot at his spotter of all people.
Larson’s spotter, Tyler Monn, radioed to him, “He runs you like that every time, you know why, because you let it happen.” Larson didn’t appreciate those words from Monn, and promptly told him to silence himself.
“Shut the f*** up,” Larson told Monn, via Matt Weaver of Sportsnaut.
Speaking of silence, that’s exactly what could be heard over the radio after Larson delivered the remark.
At the time of their spat over the radio, the racing at New Hampshire was heating up with the threat of rain looming. While NASCAR has rain tires, it made it clear the only thing that’ll bring racing to a halt is limited visibility with the racetrack not having lights. The rain came soon after and NASCAR has put the red flag on the race.
Larson currently sits P7, on track to secure his ninth top-10 of the season.
