Hendrick Motorsports driver Kyle Larson was only a corner away from becoming the first NASCAR Cup Series driver since Jimmie Johnson in 2007 to win four consecutive races.
Larson had a flat tire while leading on the final lap of Saturday’s evening race at Pocono when he smashed into the wall in Turn 3 which gave the lead to his HMS teammate Alex Bowman NO.48 who earned his third win of the season in remarkable fashion.
