Kyle Larson discusses his chances for a weekend sweep after Truck Series win in Homestead-Miami
After winning the Truck Series race, The Baptist Health 200 at Miami on Friday, Kyle Larson reflected on the upcoming Xfinity and Cup races of the weekend. He admitted the Truck Series was probably his biggest challenge owing to lack of experience. However, Larson remained optimistic of his chances in the other two formats, despite stronger competition.
Driving the No.7 Chevrolet for Spire Motorsports, Kyle Larson pulled off a shock win after dropping out of the top 20 from a late-race spin. With 45 laps to go, Larson chased down the field, overtaking the frontrunners in the final ten laps to clinch victory. Moreover, the race marked the first of three for the weekend, with the 2021 Cup champion set to compete in all three series in Miami.
Talking to NASCAR driver Austin Cindric after the win, Larson discussed his chances for a weekend three-race sweep and said,
"I felt like the truck race was probably gonna be the toughest to win. I'm. not that experienced in them, the runs are typically shorter, I felt like I need long runs like that last one to get going so i feel better about Xfinity and Cup but the competition just gets tougher and tougher as you're getting on in the weekend. So we'll see but off to a good start, so we'll try."(1:11 onwards).
