Kyle Larson’s third-place finish in Sunday’s Southern 500 marked his fourth top-10 finish in the last six races, building momentum for the Chase.
NASCAR America analysts Brian Vickers and Parker Kligerman discuss Larson’s recent run and how he could do in the playoffs.
“One thing I have noticed, I’ve seen this in Kyle, he has that aggressive confidence,’' Vickers said. “That moment where who is going to lift first? It’s not him anymore. For a while it kind of was.
“Once you get that first win under your belt, you’re like ‘I belong here, I deserve to be here, there’s no way I’m lifting for this guy, I don’t care who it is.’ I see that out of Kyle Larson right now. He’s driving smart, good races, he’s got good cars, they’re getting faster.’'
