Kyle Larson Finishes 12th At Watkins Glen After Penalty
3 weeks agoKyle Larson didn't quite have the day he was hoping for at Watkins Glen this past Sunday. The Hendrick Motorsports driver entered the Go Bowling at The Glen as one of the pre-race favorites, but ultimately ended up finishing 12th in a race where the non-playoff drivers shined. Larson did finish eighth in the first Stage but was penalized for equipment interference later in the race. By the end of it, "Yung Money" was able to rally for a 12th-place finish, his second-straight finishes outside of the top 10 at the track after winning back-to-back races there in 2021 and 2022. Larson now enters Bristol next weekend with a 26-point advantage on the cut line for the first round of the playoffs. Although that is a pretty good-sized gap, one early issue for the No. 5 Chevrolet next weekend and we could see Larson exiting this year's postseason extremely early.
