Kyle Larson

Let’s be honest here. Kyle Larson is speeding down a downward spiral that will end when he fails to lock up a spot in the second round of the Chase. Despite the fact that Larson captured the first victory of his career at Michigan, he is still going to be a sitting duck when it comes to him actually staying consistent and aggressive in the Chase.

Larson was already booted out of the way on the final lap at Watkins Glen this year, a move that bumped him from 15th to 16 in points, and his 24th place finish at Bristol didn’t exactly remedy his desperate point’s situation either. With that being said, and his difficulty with maintaining consistency on the track, one has to wonder if he can handle the pressure of his first Chase.
