Larson rolls to Charlotte win, advances in playoffs

Larson rolls to Charlotte win, advances in playoffs

When rain disrupted Kyle Larson's bid to complete both the Indianapolis 500 and the Coca-Cola 600 on the same day -- leaving him unable to turn a single lap at Charlotte Motor Speedway -- he returned to the track determined to put on a show. "I don't want to say it's a chip, but I think the fact that he didn't get to race here and Indy didn't turn out too good, that was the extra motivation," team owner Rick Hendrick said. Larson raced to his Cup Series-high sixth victory of the season Sunday to easily advance to the third round of NASCAR's playoffs, winning on The Roval -- the hybrid road course/oval at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
