So far this NASCAR offseason, Christopher Bell and Kyle Larson have gone toe-to-toe multiple times. Now the season is starting. So, what is it about these two and is this a legitimate rivalry?

Kyle Larson’s early-season run continued Friday, but not on dirt or asphalt. This win came on the water. Led by Larson’s oldest son, Owen, Team Larson won the annual Hot Rods & Reels charity fishing tournament in Lake Lloyd inside the Daytona International Speedway infield.

A Daytona Duel big one ended the second duels race Thursday. It involved aNASCAR Cup Series champion and a highly touted rookie. Coming to the checkered flag in the second qualifying race, rookie Shane van Gisbergen tried to make a move to the outside and was not clear of Christopher Bell.
