After a dominating performance by Kyle Larson, Caleb Barnes and Jared Haas discuss the drive for the No. 5 at Kansas. Larson has been the best driver over the last month, does this show that he’s finally got the Next Gen car figured out?
A few drivers challenged Larson, and one who had a great shot late in the going was Brad Keselowski. That was, until he had a tire go down. The pair discuss if Keselowski is in a must-win, Hail Mary situation already.
Of course, it was going to be hard to follow up last year’s epic race and historic finish. The guys discuss if this weekend’s race fell victim to the same Next Gen car issues plaguing the Cup Series over the last month, or if it was simply another case of a driver dominating.
