NASCAR StatWatch: Dover win came at a perfect time for Kyle Larson

With a driver as young and talented as Kyle Larson, it was just a matter of time until he won again.

But let's not forget what comes with that victory Sunday at Dover: a spot in the Round of Eight, and an ultra-valuable five extra playoff points to help him compete for a spot in the Championship Four.

If Larson can get to the Championship Four, it's a winner-take-all (or best finish takes all) battle between those four drivers at a track where Larson has shown his prowess. In 2016, he finished second, leading nearly half the laps.
