For Kyle Larson, if you’re not first you’re second.
Larson led a race-high 241 laps on Sunday in the AAA 400 Drive for Autism and looked poised to bring home his second win of the season and first win at the Monster Mile.
Once again, Larson didn’t close the deal with a win and instead recorded his fifth second-place finish of the season.
With five laps to go, David Ragan cut a tire and hit hard into the wall bringing out the last thing Larson wanted to see – a caution.
“I needed it to stay green there at the end,” Larson said in his post-race interview.
