Kyle Larson breaks down what caused wreck that ended his day at Darlington

“A little bit frustrated with myself right now but good car today,” Larson stated. “Felt like I was running a really good race to that point and just one mistake took us out of it.”

Kyle Larson’s wreck happens after wild finish in Kansas

The wreck comes one week after Larson won at Kansas in the closest finish in NASCAR history. Larson came into Sunday’s race on top of the standings and is looking to win his second Cup Series title in four years.

“That was wild. I was obviously thankful for that caution,” Larson said after last week’s race. “We were dying pretty bad. Was happy to come out third, and figured my best shot was me choose bottom and try and split three wide to the inside.

“Worked out my car turned well and was able to get some runs. Got through 1 and 2 really good down the backstretch and had a big tow on Chris, and got him to kind of enter shallow, and I just committed really hard up top. Wasn’t quite sure if we were going to make it out the other side. I got super loose in the center, and then we’re just trying to — I’m trying not to get too far ahead of him to where he can side draft and then I was just trying to kill his run. It was crazy.”

Larson continued: “That race from start to finish was amazing. That first stage was incredible. The second stage at the end was fun, and then that whole last stage with the wrecks and cautions and then fuel strategy and tires running long and all that was wild.”
