Kyle Larson just missed out on becoming a two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion, losing to Ryan Blaney in the closing laps at Phoenix Raceway.
Larson's pit crew catapulted him into contention during the final stop of the race, leaving pitroad just ahead of his title rivals. On the ensuing restart, he went three-wide for the lead with Denny Hamlin and Ross Chastain. He managed to clear Hamlin, who had only taken two tires, but not Chastain. As the Trackhouse Racing driver pulled away, Larson was left to fight a charging Blaney in the closing laps. 'I needed to come out the leader on that restart,' lamented Larson to NBC.
Even though I didn't feel like I had the fast car, I had an opportunity. It's a bummer when you don't win. 'At the same point, I'm probably coming up this close, probably more eager for the following season already. I know where I need to improve and I'm just ready to get back on the track and work on all that.' 'Yeah, bummed but also eager to get into the off-season, get working and ready for next year.
