Kyle Larson placed second and was a top contender in the Bank of America ROVAL 400 at the Charlotte Motor Speedway Roval track. Beginning the race from fourth, Larson showed plenty of speed early on and ran in the top five through the entire first stage. He finished second at the end of the stage to Shane Van Gisbergen, but collected enough stage points to lock into the Round of 8 in the playoffs. In the second stage, Larson continued to run well in the top 10 and would finish the stage in sixth. In the final stage, Larson finally executed on pit strategies and was able to make it to the lead. He traded the lead all throughout the final stage with Van Gisbergen, and Larson led 27 laps in the process. Late in the final stage, Larson took an extra pit stop for tires and fuel, hoping to beat Van Gisbergen, who was on older tires. Although he was faster by the end of the race than Van Gisbergen, the gap to the lead was too great to overcome, and Larson was the runner-up at the Roval. This was Larson's first top-5 finish since his runner-up result at Indianapolis back in July and the third of his Cup career at the Charlotte Roval.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller
