Just two races into the new year in the new car, Larson no longer has to wonder — although his path to victory included a fateful collision with furious teammate Chase Elliott on a wild day at the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana.
The defending NASCAR Cup Series champion held off Austin Dillon and Daniel Suarez in a tense finish Sunday, surviving a restart with four laps left to win at Auto Club Speedway for the second time.
Larson then had victory in sight with eight laps to go when Elliott spun, forcing a race-record 12th caution. NASCAR fans went wild with online speculation that Elliott’s spin was a deliberate attempt to hurt Larson’s chances to win. “I know we’re all great teammates together,” Daniels said. “I know it’s nothing they would ever do intentionally. I don’t blame Chase at all for making what could have been the race-winning move . … Unfortunate, but I know we’re all going to get on the same page.”
