HOW DOES CHARLOTTE AND THE NEXT TWO TRACKS SET YOU UP FOR ADVANCING INTO THE NEXT ROUND?
“It was nice to make it easily into this next round. The tracks in this round suit me fairly decent, I guess. Charlotte, I seem to be hit or miss. I feel like whenever we end up running a day show at Charlotte I’m really good, but he night races for some reason, I struggle at. Hopefully, the weather stays away and we can race while the sun is out and then have a solid race and go to Talladega and not have to do anything crazy to gain a bunch of points, but, go there and kind relax will be nice. And then Kansas is one of my better tracks so excited to get there. I seem to always run better the second Kansas also, so looking forward to that. Just got to continue what we have been doing, making no mistakes. Top fives and top 10’s would be great, so that is our goal.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–NASCAR–Charlotte–Kyle Larson →
