Lost in the fallout of the post-All-Star Race fight between Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Kyle Busch, NASCAR Cup Series driver Kyle Larson placed P4 Sunday night at North Wilkesboro Speedway after not turning a single practice or qualifying lap on the repaved short track.
Larson registered the top-five finish after flying in from qualifying P5 for Sunday’s Indianapolis 500. The Cup Series points leader plans on competing in “The Double,” the Indy 500 and Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Larson received help from Kevin Harvick, who moved down from the broadcast booth to drive the No. 5 Chevrolet during the practice and qualifying sessions.
“Thanks to Kevin and everybody working together to get our car in a good spot, and I had a lot of fun. I felt like I was able to get up to speed right away,” Larson said, as reported by NASCAR.com. “I didn’t feel like it took any time.”
From Indianapolis to North Wilkesboro, Kyle Larson had himself a DAY.
