Earlier in stage three at New Hampshire the duo shared blows yet again and made contact with each other. Fortunately, it didn’t cause any damage, but resulted in a heated radio exchange between Kyle Larson and his spotter.

The No:5 HMS team spotter Tyler Monn wasn’t happy with his driver on how he was handling the clash with Denny Hamlin. So, he decided to call out Larson and told him that the JGR veteran is making the aggressive move because he is letting it happen.

He runs you like that every time, you know why, because you let it happen.
Tyler Monn told Kyle Larson.

The ex-Champion didn’t take the criticism well and was intently asked Monn to be silent. The response from Larson was really unexpected.

Shut the f*** up.
Kyle Larson responded.

Yeah, it was fun. I think when it’s like that, I think that is why you see a lot of the dirt racers kind of migrate to the front. Just tried to feel it out under caution. It’s not my best bet on the restart to go extremely low, but it worked out and I was able to maintain track position the rest of the race, so I am proud of that.
Kyle Larson said via NBC.

The No:5 Chevy driver ended his day at P4 in the race and it was enough for him to re-take the points lead. But Denny Hamlin and Chase Elliott are closely behind him in the fight for the regular season championship.
