“I felt like on really long runs I was fairly equal to those guys in front of me,” Kyle Larson says after his 2nd place finish to Kyle Busch.

“On the short run there, I could get pointed to exit but I couldn’t get the throttle down. I’d get loose. He just was really good. I think the #78 was also really good but he had his troubles.”

“Solid effort for us. We finished 2nd again. That’s a lot of 2nd place finishes this year. But, I’m fine with 2nd. Top 5’s will get us to Homestead.”

2nd Place

“Obviously, you want to win,” Kyle Larson states from the pit lane at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

“2nd’s the first loser. But 2nd’s also, not bad. Especially when you get to the playoff’s.”

“Winning is very important. But, also having consistency is just as important. We got a 5th last week, a 2nd today with even better stage points.”

“So, that was pretty much the day that we needed. A win would have been great, but 2nd is just as good.”
