Throughout its storied history, NASCAR has always had a driver or two that fans loved to hate.  It didn’t matter if it was on or off the track or if there was extra media attention outside of the race. Controversy of any kind will find these boisterous stars were right in the middle of it.
Dale Earnhardt Sr didn’t earn the nickname ‘The Intimidator’ for no reason and Darrel Waltrip in his prime carried the nickname ‘Jaws’ just for his mouth alone.

Kyle Larson Steals a Win in NASCAR XFINITY Series Race at Richmond

Justin Allgaier had the best car in Saturday’s ToyotaCare 250 NASCAR XFINITY Series race at Richmond International Raceway.

Kyle Larson isn’t very good at Richmond—and isn’t bashful about saying so.

Nevertheless, when two late restarts played out at the 0.75-mile short track, Larson was the race winner in overtime, and Allgaier was a disappointed second, consoled only by the $100,000 check he collected as the winner of the XFINITY Dash 4 Cash bonus as the highest finishing series regular.
