I heard the replay of Bell's Spotter and he was saying inside all the way down to the corner. So unless there was a radio issue I put a lot more blame on Bell.
@@taskforceknight9336 there was space and then Bell come down and shut the door but Larson was already there. Sorry bud if you spin yourself out across someone else's nose that's not on them. It's not my job to slam on my brakes because you decided you wanted a more inside line. If you dive bomb somebody from five car links back before you get to the breaking zone that's different. Larson was there the whole time in Bell tried to squeeze him and it just wasn't clear that's on bell
@@taskforceknight9336 When you listen to radioactive and Bells spotter says “he’s there” and Bell still turns down on him that kind of tells you all you need to know. Bell took out Larson at Bristol dirt earlier in the year as well because of his inability to control his car and listen to his spotter which is why he’ll be out of the playoff after the first round.
Sounded like at the end Kyle wanted to say if he wants to get me back he will have to catch me first...lol. Bell should have stayed up there the 5 had inside position and could not go any lower. Side note Larson is amazing in whatever he drives
@Tripper Jones. LOL Its not that hard for Bell to catch up to Larson as he has had 4 Top 10 consecutive finishes lately and that #20 car has been on fire lately. Also Larson was still behind Bell when he turned him round and had no runoff for the corner. Bell's silence ever since the incident means he's bloodthirsty for revenge. Its only a matter of time.
@@taskforceknight9336 he was infront at the time but was no where near as fast. Would have passed him eventually regardless. I wanna say Bell is my 2nd favorite driver
Bell has to be frustrated by constantly losing to Larson in NASCAR, Sprint cars, late models, etc. He almost ran Kyle into the wall a few laps earlier blocking him. Did he really expect to block a faster car for the entire race?
He’s in an overall slower car trying to block a damn rocket ship for an entire stage at Watkins Glen. He set himself up for failure when he took him to the pit wall the first time.
yeah, Larson was on the curb and the 20 should have given him more room. Larson still apologized during the post race interview about it happening and the 20 still doesn't want to talk about it? I hope it's because he is mad at himself because honestly it doesn't show much maturity for the situation. It sucks for Bell but that was the price he paid to pin Larson down in the corner. If I was Larson I wouldn't even apologize but gpod on him to do so anyways.
I think most of it is just general frustration from Bell. He had an amazing Xfinity career, but hasn't done much since moving to Cup. He's been fast on the road courses and had a shot at winning. He blocked Larson the lap before and then didn't give him enough room when Larson tried again
@@csi2448 Not done much? He won already this season in his second start in Joe Gibbs equipment. I will say that he was been under the radar more or less, since that race but he has not wrecked to many race cars
Bell needs to look at the last lap of stage one when Larson tried to pass Logano in the same spot. He didn't pinch him like Bell did and still came out ahead of him.
but you dont stick it up the very inside turn 1 at the glen. its just not what you do. same for copse at silverstone, hamilton shouldn’t have stuck it up the very inside. once again, its just not what you do.
@@Bpcoop18 its a wide corner and plus larson didnt even dive into the inner lane. They were pretty much side by side before entering the corner but either way larson tried to back off as you can see with the lockup of the brakes but it just wasnt enough to not spin bell out.
I don't really care for Larson, but in this situation I support him. I think Bell is in the wrong here. I like the way Larson respectfully handled the situation
I think that's a good point to add, "respect". I don't think anyone would really care too much nor be a massive controversy if they just talked like adults and handled it respectively
Bell was racing like iRacing. If a car is faster than you, have the decency to tell yourself, the guy behind me caught me and is faster, go by, ill regroup and pass him back, instead of giving them no room or blocking someone like some guys do.

How about you realize that christopher bell is probably taking the week off. If you hate a driver for making a mistake, then guess what? You hate every driver and person on the face of this planet. And pounding salt doesnt make any sense, work on your insults xbox 360 12 year old
As someone who's a stewart for my sim racing League I have to deal with this exact scenario at least once a week. There are two ways to look at it some drivers see it as the driver completing the passes obligation to complete the pass clean and any contact is their fault. In other words if you get a nose in there and then someone goes to shut the door it's you who is obligated to lift and let that person shut the door. Been there's the other shoe he sees it as kind of unfair to expect the person to have to lift or get on the brakes to keep from causing an accident. Usually what I do first is look to see if the passing car dive bombed them in there, were they five car links back before they got to the breaking zone? Once I can find it it wasn't a dive bomb I look to see who held their line. Passing car holds their line and doesn't slide up into the car being passed that I can't put any blame on the car attempting the pass. The car that is being passed cuts down across the nose of the car passing them then that's on them for not holding their line and giving the car on the inside space. But of course we all know how NASCAR fans will look at it it's whichever driver I like the most was in the right and whichever one I don't like was definitely the one that was in the wrong
@Tre Turner I try to be a very fair stewart. Track etiquette is kind of like social etiquette everybody has their own ideas of what's right and what's wrong and none of that matters it's who pays me off lol. But really if it's not a dive bomb situation it comes down to who holds there line. I tell guys all the time your not entitled to your line. If he's thare he's thare. He's not entitled to lift and let u have the apex. Still hear people say it was "my corner"🙄 so they're not entirely wrong a lot of FIA regulations state that is the passing cars responsibility to lift and let you have the Apex unless you are past the a-pillar or the driver of the opposing car. I don't agree with this but they're surprising number of people who do. That is until they're the one trying to complete the past and then which case they expect I totally cut down across me I was there. Never a bigger bunch of hypocrites than race car drivers lol.
There comes a point where you're so far beside them that you're obligated to that line and if they come down on you, that's on them, not you. To me, that point is somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 of the way beside them. If you get that far and they run you down low and you make contact, that's just racing. Larson was well past the point of being obligated to that line, he did nothing wrong.
@@slimbrady6691 some would say if I got a inch in there you better treat it like a foot. This is where I just have to use my best judgment when handing out of penalty. I have to take into account how far into the race is this happening, is it lap four of a 25 lap race? Or is this the last turn on the last lap coming to the line? Who either one of these drivers have a history of being a d-bag? What kind of racing we're doing my league has Open wheel road course racing, stock car short track oval racing, and sports cars as well. If the Larson belt incident happened in my league and I was reviewing it my verdict would be..... No penalty to either driver I would tell Belle you have to respect a guy if he's to your inside can't expect him to lift and just give you the position, and to Larson I would say (and mind you my replays I would have the benefit of looking at your data so I know when you're breaking I know when you're on the gas and I know when you're actively avoiding an accident and when your not) I would tell him it may not have been your fault but don't make it a habit because it's not fun to race out there when everybody out there hates you from nobody respects you. And just because you're not obligated to lift and let him have the Apex doesn't mean that it's not the right thing to do especially if it's not for the win or turn three on lap three of a 40 lamp race. If your truly faster than him you will get another opportunity. Even when it's not your fault it's still a bad look and next time when you get into somebody they'll remember when you got into the other person and those situations add up and you'll end up being the next Joey logano. If I accidentally step on someone's heel in line they'll forgive me accidents happen but if I develop a reputation of someone who steps on people's heels and line nobody cares nor do they want to hear that I held my line. You build Goodwill and that gives you a leg of stand on in a situation like this.
You know what you are talking about, but I think you could have been a bit clearer. It’s a nice way of saying that your racing knowledge has not transferred to prose…
It's actually all Bells fault. NASCAR doesn't respect track limits so he could have taken the faster wider line and kept the position, instead he turned in like he wasn't being challenged and now he's salty.
I guess you struggle to realize that you are wrong. Yeah ok, ever read the book, the art of racing in the rain? And dont say you couldnt because its above your age because theres a book for young er people. The driver says this after he got wrecked. It was my fault for being in that situation. So it is never 100% a drivers fault. Kyle shouod have read the signs that bell wasnt going to give the position up easily and backed off, and waited until he had a better run. Like the inner loop. Im not saying bell was in the right here, but kyle needs to realize that just because your a privliged hendrick driver, doesnt mean they are going to just let you pass them.
man chris needs to get over it, its a racing incident if ever i ve seen one, ine could argue that chris was mor at fault for coming down on him so far.
It is a stupid racing incident, NAscar has spotter so he clearly knows Larson is inside. This is not F1 where you are on your own and 'didn't know or didn't see' is a excuse.
Neither Bell or Larson are really at fault here, it’s just a road course incident. Yeah Bell didn’t give him enough room but things happen and he got the end of the stick. He still could be handling it better though.
💥After watching incident many times it's clearly Bell's fault, turning right and cutting off the #5 car. No need to apologize on Kyle's part. He is owed an apology from Bell. Kyle takes the "high road" once again. 🇺🇲/🏁Stay well. Go in peace.
Chrissy is a baby he got hit on the numbers and Kyle was well inside him and pretty tight to the inside of the track. Too bad he doesn't watch the video.
I wouldn’t say Larson did this on purpose but maybe he should’ve backed off and got him passed later in the lap. I just hope Bell doesn’t side to retaliate, they both have alot to lose here.
So at what point do you suggest they pass then? Especially on road courses, this is where passes happen. Larson had plenty of room to go in, stayed as low as he could possibly be, Bells spotter told him Larson was there, and yet he still decided to drive down on Larson and took himself out.
Bell pinned Larson on the rumble strips. Larson held his line and Bell spun himself. The "dive bomb" comments are because Bell looked in his mirror at the flag stand and assumed there would be no pass. Truex was slower than both, but Bell wanted to be nice to a teammate.
Larson got spun on the start of a race on the opening lap going in to turn one and didn’t act like this and that person spun Larson on purpose bell turned in on him trying to pinch him off and make Larson break well Larson don’t just hand away a spot in any form of racing he will race you for every inch of track and he is the best wheel man on the planet great win Larson
That is what they call dive bombing the curve in road racing. Every road racing series in the world would have given Larson a stop and go or a timed penalty for avoidable contact
@@blueballcomedy2869 when you go offline to enter the turn it is dive bombing. Louis Hamilton tried the same move in a similar corner a few weeks back and was given an avoidable contact penalty
I watched the race and this you tube clip. Im a fan of the other kyle 18 car. But I saw nothing you did wrong. You and your team are the best out there right now . Good job to you all
As an Earnhardt looking for someone is Nascar to like, being an Okie myself, I want to like Bell, but come on, be a man!!! I really think Larson shouldn't popped a knot on Bell's head and reminded him this isn't a video game!!!!
Bell is mad because he feels he could have won. Simple as that and I can understand that, but refusing to talk about it is another thing. He could at least hear Larson out.
Plain and simple….Kyle over drove it! It happens in racing when you push the limits. No way that was an intentional move. It’s a shame Bell lost it though,if he would have saved it ,we would just call it good,hard racing.
I heard the replay of Bell's Spotter and he was saying inside all the way down to the corner. So unless there was a radio issue I put a lot more blame on Bell.
I mean bell clearly came down and ran him out of room…

Haven’t liked Bell since Bristol dirt when he ran out of talent and took Kyle out. Pound salt Bell
How about you realize that christopher bell is probably taking the week off. If you hate a driver for making a mistake, then guess what? You hate every driver and person on the face of this planet. And pounding salt doesnt make any sense, work on your insults xbox 360 12 year old
As someone who's a stewart for my sim racing League I have to deal with this exact scenario at least once a week. There are two ways to look at it some drivers see it as the driver completing the passes obligation to complete the pass clean and any contact is their fault. In other words if you get a nose in there and then someone goes to shut the door it's you who is obligated to lift and let that person shut the door. Been there's the other shoe he sees it as kind of unfair to expect the person to have to lift or get on the brakes to keep from causing an accident. Usually what I do first is look to see if the passing car dive bombed them in there, were they five car links back before they got to the breaking zone? Once I can find it it wasn't a dive bomb I look to see who held their line. Passing car holds their line and doesn't slide up into the car being passed that I can't put any blame on the car attempting the pass. The car that is being passed cuts down across the nose of the car passing them then that's on them for not holding their line and giving the car on the inside space. But of course we all know how NASCAR fans will look at it it's whichever driver I like the most was in the right and whichever one I don't like was definitely the one that was in the wrong
@Tre Turner I try to be a very fair stewart. Track etiquette is kind of like social etiquette everybody has their own ideas of what's right and what's wrong and none of that matters it's who pays me off lol. But really if it's not a dive bomb situation it comes down to who holds there line. I tell guys all the time your not entitled to your line. If he's thare he's thare. He's not entitled to lift and let u have the apex. Still hear people say it was "my corner"🙄 so they're not entirely wrong a lot of FIA regulations state that is the passing cars responsibility to lift and let you have the Apex unless you are past the a-pillar or the driver of the opposing car. I don't agree with this but they're surprising number of people who do. That is until they're the one trying to complete the past and then which case they expect I totally cut down across me I was there. Never a bigger bunch of hypocrites than race car drivers lol.
There comes a point where you're so far beside them that you're obligated to that line and if they come down on you, that's on them, not you. To me, that point is somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 of the way beside them. If you get that far and they run you down low and you make contact, that's just racing. Larson was well past the point of being obligated to that line, he did nothing wrong.
@@slimbrady6691 some would say if I got a inch in there you better treat it like a foot. This is where I just have to use my best judgment when handing out of penalty. I have to take into account how far into the race is this happening, is it lap four of a 25 lap race? Or is this the last turn on the last lap coming to the line? Who either one of these drivers have a history of being a d-bag? What kind of racing we're doing my league has Open wheel road course racing, stock car short track oval racing, and sports cars as well. If the Larson belt incident happened in my league and I was reviewing it my verdict would be..... No penalty to either driver I would tell Belle you have to respect a guy if he's to your inside can't expect him to lift and just give you the position, and to Larson I would say (and mind you my replays I would have the benefit of looking at your data so I know when you're breaking I know when you're on the gas and I know when you're actively avoiding an accident and when your not) I would tell him it may not have been your fault but don't make it a habit because it's not fun to race out there when everybody out there hates you from nobody respects you. And just because you're not obligated to lift and let him have the Apex doesn't mean that it's not the right thing to do especially if it's not for the win or turn three on lap three of a 40 lamp race. If your truly faster than him you will get another opportunity. Even when it's not your fault it's still a bad look and next time when you get into somebody they'll remember when you got into the other person and those situations add up and you'll end up being the next Joey logano. If I accidentally step on someone's heel in line they'll forgive me accidents happen but if I develop a reputation of someone who steps on people's heels and line nobody cares nor do they want to hear that I held my line. You build Goodwill and that gives you a leg of stand on in a situation like this.
You know what you are talking about, but I think you could have been a bit clearer. It’s a nice way of saying that your racing knowledge has not transferred to prose…
@@TheStikapos I use the voice to text and I have a bunch of fans going. It doesn't pick up every word perfectly my bad
Imagine what these two fighting would look like just imagine it
Bell must be refusing to take a couple seconds to look at the tape, that proves what he did, he's just making a fool of himself at this point.
2 great dirt trackers but this was just a racing deal. Bell surely saw him there. I say no fault to anyone.
Just shows how immature bell really is acting like a kid
Exactly. He's acting like his teammate Kyle Busch. Send that child some tissues, and maybe a pacifier.
@@williammatthews2948 Truex was like That in 2018-19
this one is on you Bell, welcome to the big league.
Let’s go Larson I’m a dirt racing fan and from Fairbury congratulations on the prairie dirt classic win
It's actually all Bells fault.
NASCAR doesn't respect track limits so he could have taken the faster wider line and kept the position, instead he turned in like he wasn't being challenged and now he's salty.
I guess you struggle to realize that you are wrong. Yeah ok, ever read the book, the art of racing in the rain? And dont say you couldnt because its above your age because theres a book for young er people. The driver says this after he got wrecked. It was my fault for being in that situation. So it is never 100% a drivers fault. Kyle shouod have read the signs that bell wasnt going to give the position up easily and backed off, and waited until he had a better run. Like the inner loop. Im not saying bell was in the right here, but kyle needs to realize that just because your a privliged hendrick driver, doesnt mean they are going to just let you pass them.
That’s racing. It’s a racing incident, Grow up Bell, your in a terrific sport. act like it.
Bell still has alot of growing up to do.
Davy Moody's voice is legendary.
Blocking must be programmed into the #20 car....I remember it used to do a lot of chop blocking from 1999-2008......
After watching this the Bell clearly drove down on him.
man chris needs to get over it, its a racing incident if ever i ve seen one, ine could argue that chris was mor at fault for coming down on him so far.
It is a stupid racing incident, NAscar has spotter so he clearly knows Larson is inside. This is not F1 where you are on your own and 'didn't know or didn't see' is a excuse.
Neither Bell or Larson are really at fault here, it’s just a road course incident. Yeah Bell didn’t give him enough room but things happen and he got the end of the stick. He still could be handling it better though.
Even if it's a racing incident, there's always fault weather it be 50/50 or 90/10. Someone was in the wrong and that's how bell spun.
Bell’s been watching too many Lewis Hamilton replays. Lol
@@ryanshurtz1756 seems like a 60/40 or 70/30 with more on Bell ya know
Baby Bell can't eat this cheese
Bell was following the car ahead of him. Didn’t think to move up a grove in the turn.
💥After watching incident many times it's clearly Bell's fault, turning right and cutting off the #5 car. No need to apologize on Kyle's part. He is owed an apology from Bell. Kyle takes the "high road" once again.
🇺🇲/🏁Stay well. Go in peace.
It was a racing incident. It wasn't like Larson dived-bombed him from several car lengths behind. At least Larson reached out to him.
That's racing
Chrissy is a baby he got hit on the numbers and Kyle was well inside him and pretty tight to the inside of the track. Too bad he doesn't watch the video.
Bell needs to read these comments....
I wouldn’t say Larson did this on purpose but maybe he should’ve backed off and got him passed later in the lap. I just hope Bell doesn’t side to retaliate, they both have alot to lose here.
So at what point do you suggest they pass then? Especially on road courses, this is where passes happen. Larson had plenty of room to go in, stayed as low as he could possibly be, Bells spotter told him Larson was there, and yet he still decided to drive down on Larson and took himself out.
Christopher Bell will get over it. Bell would've done the same thing
I was there Kyle Larson is the goat
Bell pinned Larson on the rumble strips. Larson held his line and Bell spun himself. The "dive bomb" comments are because Bell looked in his mirror at the flag stand and assumed there would be no pass. Truex was slower than both, but Bell wanted to be nice to a teammate.
I'm a huge fan of both drivers...... I feel Bell should have given Larson a bit more room.... end of discussion. Simple as that.
This is just hard racing. I can see it being a little risky but thats racing.
Win races = earn fans. Fans defend their hero. Fans overlook faults. Winners get more than checkered flags, paychecks and trophies.
Do your thing Larson, the 20 is at fault. Keep going, don't dwell on the past keep winning.
It ain't divebombing when a car sticks the corner.
Yung money is the MAIN MAN to Beat 👍👍👍👍. Gooo. KYLE. Goooo
Amazing Kyle
Hey my boy
Bell KNEW he was there and came down anyway....punted !!!
Rookie mistake by Chris thinking they were gonna throw a caution lol
K Bell. Needs to put his big boy pants on. Larson was in there boys
That's what Racing is all about
Larson could have lifted back and fall in line.
Bell could have done better entering with a spotter making the right call
Bell blocked Larson down the straightaway the lap before and lifted. At some point... you are being paid to race.
Lol I guess Bell can take cry baby Bush's place boohoo!
I think Bell will have a lot of people upset with him if he decides to retaliate this weekend at Indy.
Bell spun Truex
Kyle the better man once again !!!
The 5 was clean
Bell would rather have a golden ticket, redeemed when most beneficial to the #20
I don't think Larson could go down on the inside anymore than he was. He was right dead by the edge it looked like
Ayyyyyyy
I am now a fan of Larson
Tell em like it is Larson move or get moved nothing wrong with that… 😹Kyle Larson rocks
Bell took Kyle out of the final corner of the chili bowl what’s he mad about
I dont blame anyone racing incident
Think it’s more a, jealous driver. He’s jealous that Kyle is winning after being gone a year, and also driving for the better team.
Naw, hes just a quiet guy, never says really anything on radioactive.
Larson got spun on the start of a race on the opening lap going in to turn one and didn’t act like this and that person spun Larson on purpose bell turned in on him trying to pinch him off and make Larson break well Larson don’t just hand away a spot in any form of racing he will race you for every inch of track and he is the best wheel man on the planet great win Larson
Getter done
bell ran up track in straight away to block larsen then tried cut larsen off
This is the big leagues Christy Bellarina. He won’t be any good at this level. Be out of that car in 2 years.
Aggressive goes round
Locked those brakes up so obviously wanted to avoid connecting. Bell spotter did a horrible job. I think.
No, he told him that Larson was there. He still turned down on him.
@@blueballcomedy2869 I probably missed that. I need to get NASCAR app so I can listen in on those communications. 👍🏻
That is what they call dive bombing the curve in road racing. Every road racing series in the world would have given Larson a stop and go or a timed penalty for avoidable contact
Its not dive bombing when he's door to door entering the corner...
@@blueballcomedy2869 when you go offline to enter the turn it is dive bombing. Louis Hamilton tried the same move in a similar corner a few weeks back and was given an avoidable contact penalty
And he was never door to door at most he was nose to door.
I watched the race and this you tube clip. Im a fan of the other kyle 18 car. But I saw nothing you did wrong. You and your team are the best out there right now . Good job to you all
As an Earnhardt looking for someone is Nascar to like, being an Okie myself, I want to like Bell, but come on, be a man!!! I really think Larson shouldn't popped a knot on Bell's head and reminded him this isn't a video game!!!!
Remember when bell was supposed to be the next big thing?
He still is?
Was in The #95 Last Year
He did nothing wrong. Larson was on the rumble strip.
Bell is mad because he feels he could have won. Simple as that and I can understand that, but refusing to talk about it is another thing. He could at least hear Larson out.
You did nothing wrong g Kyle.
He had no bone to pick with him
Who woulda thought a spoiled rich kid wouldn't wanna talk.
Plain and simple….Kyle over drove it!
It happens in racing when you push the limits.
No way that was an intentional move. It’s a shame Bell lost it though,if he would have saved it ,we would just call it good,hard racing.
1:09, Larson is on the rumble strip
@@mattharrell3932 and the front right is locked up………he over drove it.
Bell needs to be sponsored by Red Bull because he certainly is acting like a Red Bull employee…
Pisstopher Bell😄
Don’t hit what you can see. Totally Bell’s fault. Larson beat him to the corner.
100% the 20’s fault.
We had this exact same scenario in a similar turn between Hamilton and Max. Hamilton got a penalty for the same move Larson tried.
