The Most Aggressive NASCAR Driver
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 авг 2024
- In this video, I detail the career of Kyle Larson, who I view as the most aggressive driver currently in NASCAR. I explain how he's very talented and capable of domination like in 2021, but his aggression has also lead to mistakes, especially since the Gen 7 car was implemented in 2022. I also explain why I have no issues with how much he attacks.

his aggressiveness makes him fun to watch, a driver always giving it 110% percent
The Charles Leclerc of Nascar i guess
"When you hear the word aggressive"
AGGRESSIVE GOES AROUND!
As a larson fan, I will admit his aggression is insane sometimes and can be entertaining, but sometimes its unwarranted and sometimes cost him wins
Aggressiveness and Denny Hamlin are the two reasons he's lost races. Aggressiveness is also why he's won races though.
What's frustrating for us non Larson fans is there are five or six drivers out there making these kinds of moves and we don't have any qualms about saying it's too aggressive, but when Larson does it, it's "hard racing.".
@@limprooster3253 That is not correct. NASCAR covers for Hamlin, because he is a crybaby.
@@amorris1970 I'm not talking about Hamlin either. He and Larson are the same. Hence why they have so many run ins
@@limprooster3253the difference is that Larson’s not really a hypocrite. When people race him aggressive like he does, he takes it. He only really gets mad when people do it to him on purpose, like Hamlin last year. He’s not like Logano or Hamlin who’s very hypocritical
As one legendary car owner once said, I always want a driver who pushes too hard, because you can pull back on a rope, but you can't push it. You'll never get a doormat to race like Larson, but if Larson pushes too hard, you can pull him back.
This video just goes to show any moron can make a video and post it on RUclips.
Pretty much the same thing as “you already broke your arm how much more can ya break it?” You can repair it/pull him back tho
Love this analogy
Cant blame him really, when ur one of the fastest cars every week u cant just sit behind slower cars and lose time, ya gotta send it
Yung money embodies old school nascar. Hated and loved. Willing to do everything to win.
You spelled Chastain wrong
yet the majority of the fanbase despises Hamlin for being the same person, only more outspoken. which is for sure more old school.
@@limprooster3253 Larson is just Chastain with an overdose on talent. Chastain embodies the idea of a dominant aggressive championship-level driver, but doesn't quite have the talent to really actualize it, Larson is that guy. Chastain was almost that guy when Trackhouse had just hit on something with the NextGen car faster than everyone else in 2022, and almost won the title, but the team has fallen behind and Chastain can't quite do what Larson does when the cars aren't at their best.
Kyle Larson is just built different and people hate him for it
I was at Kyle Larson's First Career Win at Michigan in 2016 which was my first ever time attending a NASCAR event
I was there but my 1st was 2008 when jr won
I was at his first championship I cried so hard because I was so happy
My first was his 3rd Michigan win in a row in August 2017….what a cool restart to win it at the end by splitting Truex and Jones
@@NASCARFAN93100 my first ever race tho was the 2007 coke 600 from Charlotte
Same except that was my second race
I was sitting at turn 1 at that Indy race. The sound that crash made was incredible. He immediately went to go check on the guy he sent it into though.
Aggressive racer, nice fella.
I don’t think people realize how rare of a driver Larson is in an era when 90% of drivers only race because of how much money they have. He is there because of talent, most drivers today can’t say that.
Kyle Larson is like the Ricky Bobby of Today's NASCAR. "You ain't first, your last."
That is Kyle Larson's mindset in a nutshell.
This video came out at the right time. One day before Chicago road course.
Nobody embodies the phrase "checkers or wreckers" like larson. I dont make excuses for him. I just stand behind him
This is why I'm a Larson fan. He drives 110% every lap of every race. He does make mistakes but he's always pushing his car to the absolute limit and the fact that he's leading the points after all of his mistakes and even missing a race is damn impressive
Even driving the #42 car it was always obvious Larson's combination of talent and aggression was unmatched. It costs him a lot of wins but it's always incredible to watch.
He is the modern day badass, and everyone that doesn’t think so just doesn’t like him and that’s fine but sometimes the truth hurts.
He’s pretty talented but he’s NOT a badass lmao.
this is the 3rd time your channel has popped up in my recommended. your titles & thumbnails are very clickable imo keep up the work
Thanks man! I've definitely been inspired by your channel
THE PHONK INTRO THO…
everyone think of drver being aggressive me:AGGRESSIVE GOES AROUND
I got to see Larson's first Nationwide win in 2014 at Auto Club Speedway (RIP). My father and I immediately picked up on just how hard he was driving. He always drives at least at 100%, and oftentimes at 110% . It's very fun to watch, so much so that even on a huge, flat racetrack like Fontana from the cheap seats, he became my new favorite driver, since Tony Stewart was clearly winding down his career.
If Larson had better luck he could have at least 35 wins by now
I thought Montoya was the agressive driver next to Ross chastain
I get nervous when Montoya race near my drivers
“When you hear the word aggressive in a racing context, a number of things come to mind.”
Cut to Rick Allen “AGGRESSIVE GOES AROUND!”
I thought it was going to be about Ross Chastain but, yeah Larson is aggressive. Sometimes a little too aggressive.
Ross is agressive in a "weapon" sort of way, drives over his head. Larson is a different animal entirely
Tbf Ross is less aggressive because Larson didn’t like someone racing him the way he races everyone else.
wah wah wah, ya know who else was aggressive? Kyle busch, Tony Stewart, Dale Earnhardt, all Champions.
He just did it again at Chicago!
Yep, searching RUclips during the caution and this comes up
When I think of Larson no matter how many wins he has or how many championships he has I think of 2020
He really does remind me of old Verstappen, back when the RB was 3rd quickest and he wasn't so experienced as he is now. Immensely entertaining every week, and really fun to root for even when it goes wrong because you know they'll make up for it with a great win later anyway
0:03 I just think of how it goes around
Can’t believe you don’t even have 1k subs. Great video! Keep it up man it’ll pay off for sure
Larson is by far the most talented nascsr driver to ever live and we see it a lot, he is talented to a fault. He’s the only guy that pushes his car and ability to 100% at all times.
Intro was fire!🔥 Your videos are awesome man, keep up the good work. You got a good thing going here.
Yo you make great videos you really need more recognition for the fantastic videos
I'd love this style of video on Chastain.
I'll always have a soft spot for whoever gets behind the wheel of the #42, but my favorites to have ever done it will always be JPM and yung money
Aggressive goes around
I was there when he won the brick yard this year he came out of nowhere to bring in 3rd then passing for the win after 1st place ran out of fuel
Me in iracing have that same attitude as Larson I would much rather die fighting for the win then finish 2nd
I've been a Larson fan since 2013, his crash at Daytona in Xfinity. Always saw his talent after I started watching him week after week. People hate him because he's good. Who cares about his controversy, strictly speaking on his driving, it has been a while since we've seen someone drive like him. Kyle Busch in the late 2000s, early 2010s maybe. Larson cares about one thing and that's winning. In an era of sports where everyone wants to be friends and not hurt feelings, it's nice to see a young man with an old guard mentality who puts themselves before their competitors. This is what makes the legends legends. Rubs people the wrong way but I love that stuff.
Also later in the video you mentioned how his aggressiveness gets him troubles because other drivers can't accommodate him and I think that's a perfect talking point for Larson. Larson has the ability to put his car in these situations and not make a mistake (sometimes he does, but not too often), as to where others have no business even trying.
For me I think “aggressive goes around” 😭
Bro you deserve 👏🏿 more subscribes
whos here after his chicago send
I was at Michigan for his first win, and have been a fan since. My dad didnt much care for it because were a Ford family but Larson is a true wheelman. Not that any of yall care but Blaney is my favorite, 2nd is Larson.
What a Video! I'm a new subscriber now.
Hey Vince! I just wanted to say so far that your videomaking skills are impressive. Between the "Rooting for Last Place" video and this one, you have a solid grasp on longform content. If I was still in (or ever was) in the longform game, I'd definitely ask you for a collab. Very impressive!
AGGRESSIVE GOES AROUND!
I became a Larson fan during his prerace interview for his first xfinity daytona race even tho his engine ended that race in the stands i never looked back lol
He is easily the best driver he will win again this year 😊
He drives like its a video game. Ppl say the same about Verstappen
My favorite aggressive is aggressive goes around
What a great video with perfect editing. This is way better than Fox coverage. The analysis of Larson was accurate and fair. I would add, he can be a bit dumb at times. Dumb, uncalled for risks.
Calling a racing driver dumb is definitely a choice
This is why I like Kyle Larson. His dirt racing background (big fan of dirt racing), and his aggressive driving style, and that one comment he made back in 2019 (i think)
You don't mean when he said the gamer word?
I'm a bit surprised nobody has asked this yet. What's the song you used in the opening? It absolutely slaps!

@@VinceMoscar Thank you so much!
You know Jeff felt the aura
0:49 "Here comes Sebastian Vettel" Nascar edition
I like how we just skipped 2020 in the chapters menu. Honestly tho we should have skipped 2020 all together worldwide
I like KL5 he races to win and he’s pretty clean too , ya he’s made mistakes but who doesn’t !!! Any team would love to have him and that says it all . Any other driver doesn’t want him in the top 5 with 3 to go for the win . This from a long time BK6 fan 🤙🏾🍻🏁
You gotta do a bigger deep dive into his stats this season definitely more consistent then last season
4:30 you should’ve mentioned how he was let go in 2020 and then you know turned that into a huge season when getting to Hendrick
Am a Larson fan❤
Kyle Larson is very fast but fucking hell is he involved in a LOT of incidents
The indy wreck was 100% not kyle getting too deep, he said right after the crash, "Now i have a pedal"
Yeah that was definitely brake failure
I could be wrong. It's been a few years ago but didn't the telemetry show he didn't hit the brake until super late?
@@limprooster3253 Don't think so
Larson's interview with Frontstretch: "Obviously just made a big mistake. I got in there deep and I got out of shape"
It's possible he was just taking the fall for some kind of HMS part that failed, to be fair.
@@VinceMoscar he 100% was, the radio chatter says different
I have a video idea for you the racing Olympics pick 4 drivers from each countries and think who will be the best racing team or drivers in the world. Also they have to be from there born countries
this new video game generation (byron, bell, hocevar, etc) are gonna top larson soon
carson hocevar can't separate iracing from reality as seen last week in nashville, so he's gonna ruin someone's championship hopes unironically
Hé is lowkey a Charles Leclerc
So i do agree with most points that you have about the aggressive racing style Larson has...however some points i has issues with. The gen 6 car was certainly not the best car ever. It is better than the gen X car. The gen 6 had more power, smaller tires, and in my personal opinion the better areo package. With the gen 6 larson did lose alot by over driving like in his sprint car. Now that helped and hurt him alot which you did say. But, this gen X car breaks way more often, cant by fixed, and is just a lug of a car. I have seen son much and heard so much from active and former drivers saying that the gen X car needs to have more hp. Larson is the best NASCAR driver right now. He has that raw talent and knowledge. I really did enjoy watching the video you made on this. And i do apologize if i said anything bad.
Larson is not a douche about it tho
And you wonder why Denny Hamlin races Larson so hard
*OPS Michael:* Well guys, I now have more reasons to hate Kyle Larson.
He is doing exactly like he did in Ganassi equipment pushing his car to hard and wreaking except this is not cause for performance rather the cars are so close he has to keep position
This video straight up made me wanna put money on Larson in Chicago. Always been a fan but this pushed me to do something about it.
Theeeeen he lost traction and you know the rest
To me his aggressiveness is clean. Let me know if I'm wrong. But to me, the most aggressive is Denny Hamlin.
im a Larson fan
My favorite driver of all time! Though sometimes I do feel he's too aggressive and like "Okay Larson, tf was that?"
Don’t be jealous because he makes moves that your driver can’t . I sense a jealous chase elliot fan
Been a Larson fan as long as he's been in NASCAR's circuit. His aggression is always entertaining to watch, but he is also one of the first people to admit mistakes, which is a definite change over people like Bush, Elliott, Denny, or Logano who will very often blame other drivers for their mistakes. But the fact that Larson is always a consistent threat even in the Gen7s is testament to how strong of a rival he is in the sport.
He's not even that aggressive. Hes just so good, that he puts himself in winning positions all the time to make winning moves. You're not gonna be very aggressive if you're running all alone in 14th. I could think of 5 drivers off the top of my head that are way more aggressive than Larson
Larson should easily be at 30 wins by now
Larson fans might be worse than Elliott fans when it comes to making excuses for their driver
Yeah, I’m an Elliott fan and I hate how since there are a lot of toxic Elliott fans that glaze him so much, most Elliott fans are assumed to be that way. I’m a Elliott fan since my dad was a big Bill Elliott fan, but I don’t glaze Elliott like there’s no tomorrow
With ryan preece kinda funny
Everyone does it to their drivers. Nothing new.
Larson fans and Elliot fans are bigger rivals than the drivers
@@kriptiksoulja Fr lmao.
I like kyle but he cant be superman every race
Best American driver in the world right now. Anybody who disagrees is just a hater. I understand tho cause he's better than your driver, and he drives harder than him too, and that's gotta suck.
Shit man. Good video.
That isn't aggressive driving! He just wants to 🏆 win! Bubba door slam after race is over? Drive the streets of Atlanta, Chicago, Phoenix and try that shit, you will meet the smith's, glocks, driving roadrage after the race should never be accepted!
Clint bower left the chat
Kendrick motorsports? 4:29
Something tells me these gen 7 cars are a knife’s edge. Easy to push to the limit, but don’t go over because it’s a cliff.
You forgot to mention how “hard r-son” left that 42
It's was one word 4 years ago. Let it go
It's shouldn't even been that big of a deal..
Think I’ll keep mentioning it since you Larson fans keep mentioning other things from years and years ago. Unfortunately that situation is a whole lot different and less black and white then someone just saying obscenities out right on a video game.
@@DamianVega00 1. I'm not a Larson fan. He's a dirty driver and I'm pretty sick of him, but that has nothing to do with the situation you are talking about.
2. It was one word he said one time when he thought he was in a private chat to a friend. An honest mistake. It isn't as if he used it in a hateful way to anyone. Who are you to police the language of grown adults in their own private affairs?
3. You say "hard r" as if it would have mattered. If the word is offensive when it ends with an R, why isn't it offensive when it ends with an A? It's two pronunciations of the same word. You don't actually care how it's said, you only care who says it. Which brings me to...
4. Why is it such a sin when Kyle Larson says it, but not an entire laundry list of other athletes, rappers, celebrities, etc? Kyle Larson isn't black, but neither is B-Real. Yet I've never heard anyone complain about Cypress Hill. What is more problematic? Someone saying a taboo word in a way that isn't at all intended to harm anyone, or trying to somehow justify who can say that taboo word based on skin color. It's kinda funny considering the history of the word in question. All you're doing is recharging a word that lost its power 30 years ago.
And most importantly 5: Larson said it one time four years ago, apologized profusely, lost his job, sat out a year, went to all of the diversity, inclusion, and sensitivity training that was asked of him. He served his time. The NASCAR fan base forgave him. The owners forgave him. Why can't you? Why do you insist on clinging onto this tiny shred of moral high ground?
@@limprooster3253 that was the dumbest shit I had ever read. That “honest mistake” or whatever you said was the most embarrassing thing for the sport, and justified to outsiders that there is underlying racism in our sport.
Larson goes hard (r)
He drives in over his head a lot. He may be a fast driver but he’s not a smart one.
wait.. didnt him n his crew chief just get into it during a race because he Wasnt being aggressive towards hamlin ?? lol
Yes because history shows Hamlin drives him pretty dirty at times..him and the spotter are good though, just heat of the moment exchange
I might not be a Kyle Larson fan but he might be the most skilled/ best driver in nascar right now and nobody can argue that he’s the next Kyle bush
Larson has talent, no skill. That's why he makes so many stupid rookie mistakes
Next max verstapen lol
Ross chashtain
Haters gonna hate, the best drivers always have a bunch of crybabies constantly whining about how good they are
You can always count on Larson to ruin someone’s day during a late race restart. 😂
Ain’t that the truth. He is arguably the dirtiest driver in all of nascar and gets covered for by nascar and all the homers on sirusxm. He shouldn’t have been allowed to come back to nascar after the slur in 2020 and he was even bold enough to tell his crew chief to shut the f*** up at New Hampshire. When Larson took out Kyle Busch at STL, FOX (along with SXM later that week) blamed it all on Busch since they hate him and they adore Larson. If you were to go to a nascar race and bring in a anti-Larson sign, nascar would kick you out since they view that piece of crap as Jesus. Larson sucks and his crew chief is a pain in the rear to listen to every week when I watch nascar.
With the points setup they way they are aggression pays and consistency is worth the trade off.
i’m ngl you have some of the worst takes i have ever seen regarding nascar but this one is valid
Larson is an amazing driver and decently clean. He'll make aggressive moves which is fine. One thing Larson does not know how to do is payback instead of taking out hamlin he took out everyone else
The glazing is crazy
