That’s what all NASCAR Cup Series title contenders worry about, running an extra superspeedway race in the playoffs and starting the first race on the first lap. Third at the end of the first stage, top seed Kyle Larson suddenly broke free and crashed hard into the wall and was drilled by lower contender Chase Briscoe.
“I good,” Larson said after the camp. treatment center left. “Fortunately everything was held well in the car,It was a big shock.
I don’t really know what caused it. I was really a bit tight at the turn. It was too far around the corner and it went out. I do not know. Everything happened very quickly.
The matchup will use a large majority of the points advantage that Larson had accumulated during the regular season, while Briscoe will be forced into another must-win scenario in the next two weeks, just like him.He overcame to qualify for the playoff in first place last week at the South 500. Larson finished 37 and Briscoe finished 38 and both finished within one point. Larson still has no idea what caused it.”There was no warning at all,” Larson said. “On the contrary, I became more and more strict. “Yes, it took me by surprise. I have never been, even in the same shift, as without a step. It just started to flow and I overcorrected and yes, I just overcorrected,It NASCAR. You can be on top one week and you can be at the bottom of the mountain the next,” Briscoe said. “It’s unfortunate. I think our car was a far from very good environment. We weren’t very good in terms of balance and I always felt like I could just go right through guys from seventh to twelfth. I saw my outside crash in another because someone kept trying to get out of me and I was probably a little late trying to see the five car accident.
“I didn’t expect anyone to crash because it wasn’t really two wings, so I saw the smoke and tried to slow down. I knew he was going down the runway and I just kept trying to feed him the left and to slow down, but he couldn’t go far enough and then he started to slide down the track at the last minute, so I tried to turn to the right to avoid him. It was a great success .
“It’s one of the biggest shots I’ve had for a long time. I’m happy to be good and we just have to win. That’s what we have to do in Darlington and I know we can do it again. We have to go to Watkins Glen and Bristol and try to do the same.
