What is quickly becoming the best rivalry in NASCAR evidently has at least one willing participant.
KANSAS CITY, Kan. —
It almost came down to them again Sunday, too. They ran near the front all race, and it was Hamlin who had the lead after Kyle Busch brought out a late caution and the field cycled through pit stops. But on the restart, Larson ducked low and caught Hamlin in the middle with Buescher on the outside, and the No. 11 from Joe Gibbs Racing dropped backward like a rock.
Pick the statistic — top-fives, where Larson has a series-leading six and Hamlin has four — and the story keeps playing out. In the 1970s, Cale Yarborough and Bobby Allison feuded so fiercely and so often that after a crash during the 1979 Daytona 500, the two jumped from their cars and began throwing haymakers. Richard Petty and David Pearson at least kept their rivalry on the track, though it was no less heated, and Tony Stewart and Kurt Busch often clashed throughout the 2000s.
