Kyle Larson's car sped around the track with ferocity throughout Saturday afternoon. However, his seventh-place qualifying effort was marred a bit when some non-sanctioned repairs had to be made on the No. 5 car. Steering issues were cited as the culprit for the Hendrick Motorsports driver. Larson has performed exceedingly well at Phoenix with the top average result over the past six races at 4.40. That includes a win at the season finale last year. There were also five top-tens as Larson's overall speed on this track is evident. Now, the only concern Sunday will be can he control the car over 312 laps.--Chris Wassel - 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

When Kyle Larson and Denny Hamlin started on the second row in Sunday's Food City 500 at Bristol, most people expected one or the other to dominate and overtake front-row starters Alex Bowman and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. It turned out to be Larson, who led over 400 laps for the second consecutive Bristol race, but Hamlin ran in the top five for the entire race (except for pit stop exchanges) and eventually finished second. He never had anything for Larson but was also never really challenged for second in the second half of the race after Bowman's engine failure. Although he failed to win his third race in a row, he gained 19 points on William Byron in the championship and now trails him by a mere 30 points.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
