Kyle Larson Should Be Strong At Phoenix Despite Qualifying 17th
9 hours agoDon't let Kyle Larson's starting spot for this weekend's Shriners Children's 500 fool you. The No. 5 Chevrolet is still really strong this weekend. Larson hit the apron wrong during his qualifying lap on Saturday, and that is why he will start from back in 17th place when the green flag waves in Phoenix. If that wouldn't have happened, Larson likely would have had a top-five qualifying effort. As far as race speed goes, the No. 5 Chevrolet looks to be one of the best heading into the race, as Larson had the best 25- and 30-lap average during practice. Additionally, his track record at Phoenix is very strong, as "Yung Money" has finished fourth or better in three of the last four races at this track while posting top-10 results in 10 of the last 12. Larson is a strong all-around DFS option on Sunday, and you should definitely have plenty of him in your DraftKings lineups.
