Kyle Larson

Pit Lane Interview

Q. Kyle, found your way up the inside at the end of the race. Were you thinking those guys might slip up and let you get up there?

KYLE LARSON: I felt like that was my only hope. Yeah, I felt like I made the correct decisions there. I don't know, I'd have to look back at it.

I thought being patient to try and keep them side by side down the back was good. I could have shot to the bottom, but I felt like I would have wrecked everybody there. Yeah, just kind of gave ourselves a shot for them to maybe get into each other and us squeak by.

Good to finish third. I felt like we were going to be lucky to finish top 10. Pit crew did a great job there that last stop. They made good adjustments compared to our first option tire round two.

Yeah, got better, but need to be a lot, lot better to have any shot to win here in the fall when it really matters. Great to get a solid finish in here. It's been kind of a struggle for us here to start the year. Happy about that.

Go to Vegas and try to do good again.
