Kyle Larson fell short of winning the Würth 400 at Dover Motor Speedway on Sunday, coming in second place behind Denny Hamlin. After the race, Larson spoke to Jamie Little of Fox Sports about not being able to pass Hamlin to earn the victory.
“I went late in the zone and Martin [Truex Jr.] was trying to time it behind me and hit me right when I wanted to go, Larson said. “I got a lot of wheel spin and [Hamlin] was able to outrace me in the one.” Larson also mentioned that Hamlin’s car “was really good on the short runs. It’s so easy to air block, not that he was doing anything dirty or anything like that. It’s just so easy as the leader, especially in a place like this to shut off the air on the guys behind you.
“I knew when I got within three car lengths, he was going to start moving around,” Larson added. “I just couldn’t really do anything. I was trying all sorts of different angles and speeds and all that. Nothing could generate enough speed to get close enough to do anything.”
We’ll have more on this story shortly.
