Larson lurks, snatches Xfinity overtime win at COTA to spoil van Gisbergen’s impressive race

Associated Press  

AUSTIN, Texas — Kyle Larson passed Shane van Gisbergen and Austin Hill on the final lap in double overtime to win the Xfinity road course race Saturday at the Circuit of the Americas. Van Gisbergen looked to be in control and heading to his first career Xfinity win ahead of his season debut in the Cup series on Sunday. Van Gisbergen crossed the line second, but was hit with a 30-second time penalty for cutting the corners on the track’s section of s-curves on the final lap that dropped him to 28th. Van Gisbergen started on pole and the ragged finish spoiled an otherwise outstanding day for the New Zealand driver, who had been in a two-car duel with Kaulig Racing teammate A.J.
