After the Food City 500 at Bristol this past weekend, many of the Cup Series drivers were very happy about the tire falloff and needing to manage their tires over the course of a run. One driver that was not happy about it, though, was fifth-place finisher Kyle Larson. After the race, Larson said, "I hope I never have to run a race like that again. To have to run a race like that every week would not be good, and it's honestly probably a black eye to Goodyear just with all the rubber that couldn't get laid down and just wearing through tires and all that." Larson still had one of the best cars all day, ranking fifth-fastest in Green Flag Speed and sixth-best in Average Running Position. He has now finished sixth or better in seven of his last eight starts at Bristol.--Jordan McAbee

Kyle Larson of Hendrick Motorsports was one of the top performers on Sunday's Wurth 400 at Texas Motor Speedway. Larson began Sunday's race in the fourth position and during the first stage, ran inside the top five the whole time. Although he competed for the second position, he never made it to the lead in the first stage and ended in fourth, scoring stage points. In the second stage, Larson ran second behind Josh Berry until he spun and crashed on lap 121. From there, Larson dominated the rest of the second stage after gaining the lead from Todd Gilliland, winning the stage and the stage points included. In the final stage, Larson first fell behind after pit stops during the stage break, but regained the lead on lap 190 from his teammate William Byron. Through further pit stops after several accidents, Larson lost the lead and fought for a top-5 position. Larson ended the race in fourth and scored his first top-5 finish at Texas since his 2021 victory at the site.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller

Kyle Larson is the favorite to win this weekend's Würth 400 at Texas Motor Speedway, according to virtually all sportsbooks across the country. The Hendrick Motorsports driver has been one of the fastest on 1.5-mile tracks in the Next Gen era, and at Texas specifically, Larson has the most laps led (195) in the three Next Gen races. Last year in this event, Larson had a dominant race car but ended up finishing 21st after a mid-race wheel issue. For this weekend's race, Larson was fourth-fastest in practice on Saturday morning and ranked eighth-best when it came to 20-lap average. He also qualified fourth for the race, which means "Yung Money" has great track position to start with this weekend. Larson is a strong option in both betting and fantasy formats at Texas this weekend. He's the highest-priced driver on the DraftKings slate ($11,000), but he also has the highest potential to absolutely dominate this race. If you pick Larson on Sunday, you're definitely picking one of the best cars in the field.--Jordan McAbee

Hendrick Motorsports driver Kyle Larson finished Sunday's Jack Link's 500 at Talladega Superspeedway in the second position. Starting from the 25th position, Larson quietly kept up with the pack for most of the first stage and kept his car clean. After executing on some pit strategy to gain track position by lap 49, Larson made a run to the front and got there with some drafting help, as he ended up winning the first stage, collecting plenty of stage points. In the second stage, Larson remained in the front half of the pack, running inside the top 10 for most of the stage. He ultimately fell just short of winning the second stage, finishing second and earning more stage points. In the final stage, Larson went up and down through the pack as green flag racing and pit stops shuffled the field. However, by the end of the race, Larson came back and was in position to steal a win. On the final lap, Larson was behind Austin Cindric and spent the lap pushing him ahead to the victory. The No. 5 Chevrolet driver was initially scored with a third-place finish, but Ryan Preece, who finished ahead of Larson, was disqualified in post-race inspection. As a result, Larson was credited with a finish of second, a new career-best finish on a drafting track.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller

Kyle Larson has become something of an agent of chaos in NASCAR as he can either dominate a race or crash anywhere and no one is surprised by either. Whenever he crashes (as he did two days ago in Indy 500 practice) there's always a lot of social media hubbub mocking people who call him the greatest driver in the world. As a result, he probably enters this race undervalued, particularly because he qualified 25th and doesn't have many great finishes at Talladega even though he's had a lot of speed in the past. Although he probably won't be one of the race's dominators, Larson is always worth starting when he qualifies this poorly since he could theoretically win anywhere even though he hasn't at Talladega yet. The fact that so many fans are underrating him because they think he's bad due to his crashing makes him even more valuable.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
