Watch: Kyle Larson wins the Wild West Shootout at Vado after ‘pretty miserable couple of weeks’ costing rival Bobby Pierce a $100K bonus

This will also help Larson move on from the disappointment of the Chilly Bowl, where he crashed twice and failed to qualify for the main event while attempting a double dirt. A better tire selection and an impressive push in the race’s final stages helped him get the lead with six laps left. He finished the race unchallenged after Pierce’s tires went flat.

I started peeking at the board to see how many laps were left. Just pushing too hard. He’d get away, but I’d get right back to him. I think our tire selection was just better than his. That’s all. My car was good against the cushion. It wasn’t good on the bottom early, but up top…It’s been a pretty miserable couple of weeks. A lot of work went into Victory Lane and it’s cool to get in Victory Lane here. Larson said, as reported by Sportnaut.
