“It’s been a long time since that, I don’t even know why we’re still talking about it,” Kyle Larson said during media day for the NASCAR Playoffs.
Larson added, “But yeah, I’m looking forward to the playoffs and I know he is, too. He’s got a great car; I’ve got a great car. It’s both of ours’ best opportunities to go chase a championship.”
