Kyle Larson took the checkered flag at Richmond Raceway on Sunday, giving Hendrick Motorsports another victory during the 2023 NASCAR Cup season.
spent the week watching videos of his 10-win, 2021 championship season, he said,"to remind myself that I used to be good."NASCAR Cup Series"I just really wanted to look at old tape of myself and see where my mindset was and to see my confidence," Larson said after his 20th career victory in NASCAR's top series.
It's the third victory of the season for the four-car Hendrick team and came less than a week after a 100-point penalty against each driver for using an illegal part was overturned by a NASCAR appeals panel. It also came with a fill-in crew chief in Kevin Meendering because the appeals panel upheld the four-race suspensions of all four team crew chiefs.
The cars never got on the track on Saturday because of rain, leading NASCAR to give them an extra set of tires, and even then, teams pitted for lightly used scuffs for the final green flag run. That paid off big for Berry and Michael McDowell, who stayed on the track during the previous green flag stop, then got the caution that made it pay off.
