Both drivers seem to be enjoying the hilarious beef they are having.

Last week was pretty sweet revenge, us finishing third and him having a rough pit stop. Kyle Larson said.

They Chevy driver also highlighted how important the pole position is for him as it would allow him to once again compete at the top on Sunday and possibly secure his second win of the season.
