KYLE LARSON, NO. 42 MCDONALD’S CAMARO ZL1 – Finished 2nd - DID YOUR CAR JUST PROGRESSIVELY GET TOO FREE NEAR THE END? I was really, really good on that long run. And yeah, as soon as we restarted there, I was extremely loose. The No. 17 (Ricky Stenhouse) got to my inside. I just really didn’t have any grip. I thought it would tighten-up for me and I could get going, but it never really did and I was just really loose. I hate that I didn’t win. It’s another one at Bristol. I feel like every time I race here I almost get a win. It was a fun race. I’ve been beat by Kyle (Busch) about every time I race here, too; so that gets frustrating after a while.”
