Kyle Larson Ran Extremely Well Despite Lack Of Chevy Speed
1 year agoAlthough Kyle Larson failed to sweep the Martinsville races this year, he still had a strong run in yesterday's race considering Chevy had one of its worst races of the year. Larson's sixth-place finish was the only top ten scored by a Chevy driver in the event and no Chevy drivers ranked in the top nine in speed in an extremely rare occurrence. Larson clearly had the best race among Chevy drivers because he usually outran Chase Elliott except for the laps when Elliott went off pit sequence. The lack of Chevy speed is concerning for Phoenix, but Larson and teammate William Byron were certainly both stronger at the March Phoenix event than any Chevy was in either Martinsville race, so he will probably be better there.
