Q: TALK ABOUT WHAT YOU ANTICIPATE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SEASON
KYLE LARSON: I don’t really know what to anticipate but the (Daytona) 500 because that’s the package that we’ve raced before. Once we get through that, I don’t know. That’s something that pretty exciting and makes us look forward to Atlanta and see how we stack up. They’re going to Vegas in a couple of days so we’ll get a better idea of where we stack up with the competitors. This year is different than others because the rules packages are so much different than what we ran in the past. Continue reading Chevy Racing–NASCAR–PreSeason–Kyle Larson →
