Last year in the spring was Larson’s career-best finish at Talladega when he crossed the line in fourth.
“I think it takes an extreme amount of luck of just strictly missing a wreck that may pop up and happen at any point in the race. There’s that, and I’m cautious to talk too much about luck or say it takes too much luck because there are certain drivers that are upfront at 80% of the superspeedways that we go to and contend,” stated Larson. “There is a style that it takes, there’s a way to do it and run up front that I haven’t figured out yet.
Talladega is the kind of track that drivers either love or hate. Larson didn’t necessarily say he loves the track, but he does enjoy parts of running around the superspeedway. “It’s definitely not anywhere near the top of my list. I don’t really love that style of racing, but I do understand that everybody has an opportunity to win when you go to Daytona or Talladega. That gets me excited because I know that if things work out and I make a couple of the right decisions, I’ll have a shot to win. That part of it’s exciting.
Larson will also race Friday and Saturday night across the street from the superspeedway on the red clay at the Talladega Short Track. The World of Outlaws are invading the “Hornets Nest” with a $ 50,000-to-win Super Late Model Race on Saturday night, and Friday night will feature the USCS Outlaw Thunder Tour.
Kyle Larson will go for win number 3 on the season at 2 p.m. on Sunday when the NASCAR Cup Series hits the track for the Geico 500 at Talladega Superspeedway.
