NASCAR Cup Series

In a wild AAA 400 Drive for Autism NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Dover International Speedway, hard-charging Kyle Larson, who was looking for his first premier-series win in his No. 42 Target Chevrolet SS, wound up just .188 seconds behind the race winner (Matt Kenseth, Toyota) at the checkered flag. It was Larson’s fourth top-10 and best of the 2016 season. He led 85 of the 400-lap race at the track nicknamed the ‘Monster Mile’.

It was the Wisconsin veteran’s 37th series career victory and his third at Dover. It came after an amazing 30 lap duel between the three drivers that ended with Larson coming close but leaving with no cigar.

Camry driver Matt Kenseth earned his first checkered flag of the season in Sunday afternoon’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) race at Dover International Speedway.

BRAD KESELOWSKI, No. 2 Wurth Ford Fusion – Finished 6th “This was one of those Dover races I don’t think anybody will forget any time soon. There was a lot of chaos and we ran really well."

KYLE LARSON, NO. 42 TARGET CHEVROLET SS – Finished 2nd - WHAT WAS THE DIFFERENCE AT THE END? “We were really good. We were better than Matt (Kenseth) there. A lot of good cars got wrecked which was nice and I knew I was going to be the car to probably beat. I got to second there on the restart and just tried to be patient. I could see Matt was pretty loose in front of me."

The field for Sunday’s race, as per the NASCAR rule book, was determined by the most recent practice session. Harvick was the fastest on Friday’s lone Sprint Cup practice session and will thus start on the pole.
