Daniel Suarez who finish seventh during the pre-Daytona 500 qualifying races blamed Kyle Larson for his aggressive pushing that led to him bumping Kyle Busch on lap 42 that forced to get a replacement car for Sunday race.
“The No. 5 [Kyle Larson]was being more aggressive to me, pushing me, and I thought that the No. 8 was actually dragging brake because I was able to push him so easy.” Suarez said.
