Kyle Larson loses 30 positions on track after being spun by Christopher Bell at COTA

Kyle Larson won the Xfinity Series race on Saturday. If he wants to win this race, he will have to fight back and earn it. The Stage 2 pit stops are going to help Larson get some track position back. However, the damage is already done.

Larson was able to pit with those who waited until after the stage break going into the final stage. Good news, Larson has had speed all day. Also, he’s going to be relatively equal to the other drivers. No, he won’t have great track position, but he won’t be in the worst position, either.

The course at COTA provides passing zones and a lot of opportunity to move up. The course is long and it has technical aspects. There are also areas where pure speed will get you an advantage.

For Kyle Larson, the focus is going to be the same to finish this race as it was to start it. He just needs to hit his marks and keep the car under himself. There will be green flag stops or if there is a caution, stops under the yellow, before the race ends. So, keep at it, and you might just steal a win like Saturday.

Larson’s teammate William Byron has led the most laps today. He’s been fighting the Toyotas of Ty Gibbs and Tyler Reddick. Ross Chastain has also been in the mix, fighting hard in Stage 3.

There are times when everything goes your way and other times when nothing does. Right now, Kyle Larson has to be patient and hope he gets a break like he did in the Xfinity Series.
