Kyle Larson

Can Kyle Larson win again in 2017?

Larson won for the first time in 2016. The win came after two seasons in which it looked like Larson could have won a handful of times. In 2016 Larson finally broke through in Michigan and got the first win.

Getting that win could pop the cork for Larson this season.

If Larson goes off and wins two or three races he will thrust himself into the championship picture. Larson is dangerous in the playoffs given his success at Homestead. If Larson ever makes it to the final-four of the playoffs he will be a legitimate contender for a title in 2017.
