The big takeaway is that Larson has speed in his cars, and as long as this continues he’s going to be a threat to win most weeks – if he can shake his bad luck.
Knowing this, the concern is mostly minimal. Jordan: The crashes at Talladega and Dover were due to being in the wrong spot at the wrong time, something largely beyond Larson’s control while his accident at Bristol was on him. Personally, that’s why I think head-to-head matchups and even group betting might be better plays in some cases. You can identify the fastest car and the best driver at that track, but they can still finish 36th if they get wrecked or have a mechanical failure. Unfortunately, that’s the risk you take with betting on NASCAR. And then at Bristol Dirt, Ryan Preece decided to retaliate against Larson for an incident earlier in the race. The week before that, Larson was the victim of a typical Talladega wreck. Last week, Larson was moving up through the field when Ross Chastain wrecked Brennan Poole right into Larson’s path. Should this be a weekly concern where we should have some degree of worry that he might DNF when he’s a 5-1 or 6-1 favorite? In this week’s column, we dive into Kyle Larson’s bad luck with crashes, wonder if there will be retaliation for Ross Chastain’s aggressive style, heap some more praise on Josh Berry, and more… Why is Kyle Larson crashing so much? He’s done it in 3 of his last 4.
