Elaborating on his race from behind the wheel of his winged sprint car, Larson spoke to atticaracewaypark.com and said:

“I was making mistakes in three and four because I’d catch traffic or start to see them and start to slow and drive easier and then I wouldn’t get my wheel spin where I needed it and get swallowed up in the cushion. I wasn’t sure where Sheldon was behind me but I figured he would be having a hard time seeing as well."

He further added:

"I got behind Brad (Sweet) and I figured he was going to make clean laps so I just tried to pace him and we got a caution there and thankfully we didn’t have another double-file restart.”

Kyle Larson's appetite for dirt-track racing seems to never end despite his full-time exploits in the highest echelon of stock car racing.
