Kyle Larson and Chase Elliott are back at Auto Club Speedway, where the Hendrick Motorsports teammates had the first of their two major issues last year.
Kyle Larson didn't sugarcoat his thoughts after the Clash, saying the impacts in the updated Next Gen car were "very violent the majority of the race." Bubba Wallace and Denny Hamlin agreed and offered their own painful perspectives.
Kyle Larson admitted he is doing something dramatically different this offseason and it has the potential of being a good move for the No. 5 team and a problem for the competition.
