Larson wins Charlotte as Elliott and Harvick continue feud
Associated PressCONCORD, N.C. — Rick Hendrick first began to worry when Kyle Larson and Alex Bowman had electrical issues at nearly same time. By the time reigning Cup champion Chase Elliott was deliberately crashed by Kevin Harvick and nearly knocked out of the playoffs, Hendrick had seen enough destruction on The Roval at Charlotte Motor Speedway. “We wrecked everything we had down there.” Good thing the boss stuck around: Larson rallied from his early electrical issues Sunday to win for the seventh time this season and storm into the third round of NASCAR’s playoffs. “I noticed my battery was going low, I was getting stressed out, ‘Like man, I’m not going to get knocked out of the playoffs like this!’ It wasn’t looking too good,” Larson said. The Larson victory ended Elliott’s streak of two consecutive wins on the hybrid road course/oval that Charlotte officials designed in 2018 to add an interesting new circuit to the playoffs.
