Kyle Larson is one of the best racers in the Cup Series garage, especially at tracks like Darlington Raceway, where the speed of the car gets put into the driver's hands a little bit more.

Despite his strong practice speeds this weekend, you should be leery of Ryan Blaney this weekend for the Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway. Why?
