Kyle Larson Must Overcome Poor Qualifying Effort At Watkins Glen
3 months agoKyle Larson has some work to do if he wants to contend for the win at Watkins Glen this weekend. The Hendrick Motorsports driver made a small mistake during qualifying for this weekend's Go Bowling at The Glen and will roll off the starting grid from 20th-place when the race goes green on Sunday afternoon. That's not a major concern, though, as we have seen plenty of drivers make their way through the field at this track and still contend for good finishes. As far as Larson's track record goes at The Glen, he has won two of the last three races here. Additionally, he won at Sonoma earlier this season, which is the other "original" road course race on the schedule. Larson's No. 5 Chevrolet ranked sixth-fastest in 10-lap average during practice this weekend. He should definitely be a contender for the win on Sunday, and has huge Place Differential upside in DFS contests due to his qualifying blunder.
