Thought modern-day motorsport was all about drivers spitting their dummy out after the tiniest of contacts? Check out the incredible footage of Kyle Busch holding off Kyle Larson during a wild last lap to win the Overton"s 400 Sunday at Chicagoland Speedway. Going into the closing laps of the race, Larson in a faster car but back down the grid after nerfing the wall with eight laps to go harangued Busch who desperately clung onto his lead into the closing laps of the 267-lap race. On the final lap, Larson went hard into Turn 2 and nudged Busch into the wall, sending him off line. As Larson took the lead, Busch gathered up his fishtail to close in on Larson"s bumper and nudge him into a massive Formula D skid around Turn 3, sneakily gifting the Skittles-liveried driver the win. At this point, other formulas would start whinging and head to the stewards, but Larson saw it as fair game and slung his thumb up out the window as the ultimate sign of respect.
