I honestly think Larson has held that he owed Bubba a "pass". Why? Let's go back two years to when Larson was suspended for his language in that online race. Bubba said in interviews that he talked with Larson and accepted his apologies and all was good between them. That could be worth some social currency to him. That and he and Bubba go back a long way.For Bubba to have committed the ultimate racing sin at a pretty high speed, I do find it a bit odd that the general public is WAY more outraged than the guy that it happened to. In fact, I didn't really sense any anger from Larson. Just said it wasn't the smartest thing to do but otherwise seemed fine with it. It was a good interview, but damn how are you not completely pissed off? I know his disposition is generally calm, but that is strange to me that not even that incident would ignite something inside of him.
Another thought about why Larson went easy...I'm sure we all have that one good friend that...well they just lose their sh*t sometimes. We don't like it, and they always come around to make good...so it's friendship that allows them a break.
