Many of the planned strategies in Sunday’s race went awry with seven cautions in the first 41 laps and that prompted Larson’s crew chief Cliff Daniels to run Larson as long as possible in the final stage before making his final stop.
Once Larson finally stopped, he cycled into eighth in the lineup but with much fresher tires he sliced through the field to take the lead with eight of 110 laps to go.
