Early last week, we pointed out how difficult it is to win four Cup races in a row before the green flag waved over the Pocono Organics CBD 325 and said to avoid Kyle Larson. As it turned out, we were wrong and right.
Larson dominated the first race of the Pocono Raceway doubleheader, but in the closing laps it was a nail biter as to whether he would be able to get around teammate Alex Bowman. He managed to do so with a handful of laps remaining and was yarding the field until he apparently ran over something on the track and cut a tire. Even after slamming the wall hard, twice on the final lap, he earned a top-10.
