Before the rain arrived at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, numerous people predicted that the USA TODAY 301 would be over. As the rain neared, the racing became more difficult, with Kyle Larson pushing for the lead.
Larson, on the other hand, never grabbed the lead, as Denny Hamlin overtook him at the exit of Turn 4. In the end, the rain did not cancel the event, but it did result in a spicy No. 5 radio. Larson’s Spotter Tyler Monn informed his driver,
“[Denny Hamlin] runs you like that every time. Do you know why? Because you allowed it to happen. Larson didn’t appear to like Monn’s comment and warned him to “shut the [expletive] up.” The No. 5 radio went silent, and Larson returned to focus on making his way back up the field.

The driver of the No. 5 car came home with a fourth-place finish, while Hamlin struggled with the Wet Weather tires for a 24th-place finish. Larson and Hamlin have had several on-track incidents in the last year, and emotions were running high on the No. 5 team. It’s to be determined if Larson ever gets back to Hamlin, but if it were up to Monn, he’d race him differently.
