KYLE LARSON, NO. 42 CREDIT ONE BANK CAMARO ZL1 – Quickest in Saturday’s Happy Hour Practice Session

IT WOULD SEEM THE CAR IS THE BEST OUT THERE DO YOU AGREE WITH THAT?
“I think looking at actual lap tracker the No. 4 (Kevin Harvick) is better than we are, but I feel like our Credit One Bank Chevy is really good. I think we are a close second to him. He is able to run the bottom pretty well. It seems like I’ve got to kind of move around a little bit more, but so far, happy with it. I wish we would have gotten to qualify yesterday because I felt like we would have had a good shot at the pole, but in race trim as well we are fast. So, hopefully we can have a good race tomorrow. It’s a long, tough race. You’ve got to be perfect on the restarts, perfect on pit road and got to have a good long run car as well. So far the weekend has gone well and hopefully we can close it out with a good finish.”
