Kyle Larson had a tough week at Talladega Superspeedway, starting from the back of the pack due to unapproved adjustments to the roof rails. NASCAR announced he would have to serve a pass-through penalty after the green flag dropped, along with his crew chief being ejected. Despite this setback, Larson had been performing well in previous races, winning at Las Vegas and finishing second and third in other races this season, putting him high in the points standings.
In addition to the penalty for the unapproved adjustments, two of Larson’s crew members had already been suspended after a wheel popped off during a previous race at the Circuit of the Americas in Texas. Heading into Talladega with this disadvantage, Larson faced another challenge to overcome. In last year’s Talladega spring race, Larson finished 33rd after being caught up in a crash during overtime with other drivers. Despite the damage to his vehicle, Larson was uninjured in the wreck.
The pressure was on for Larson to make a comeback at Talladega, with the added challenges of a pass-through penalty and missing crew chief. Larson’s previous strong performances this season showed his potential to succeed, and he would need to rely on his skills to work his way back towards the front of the pack and potentially pull off a victory. With the top drivers in the points standings this year, Larson had the talent and determination to overcome the obstacles in his path.
