Larson successfully navigates "conservative" Roval run
Kyle Larson had a challenging weekend at the Round of 12 cutoff race, needing a strong performance to stay in the top eight after recent setbacks. During practice, he hit the wall and had to switch to a backup car, starting at the rear of the field. Despite a slow start, Larson managed to avoid major issues and finished 13th, comfortably securing his spot above the transfer line. Last year, Larson’s championship hopes were dashed in this race due to a crash, so he was extra cautious this time. He kept an eye on Kyle Busch, who needed a win to advance, but ultimately, Larson made it through on points. Looking ahead to the next round, Larson is optimistic as the upcoming tracks favor his performance, and he hopes to make it to the finale in Phoenix. Additionally, Martin Truex Jr. also advanced to the next round, although he described the race as not being enjoyable.
