Reigning NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Larson spoke to the media at a press conference today about his woes at the Goodyear tire test at Darlington Raceway in March.
The Hendrick Motorsports driver was one of the three Cup Series drivers at the test in March and found 'The Lady in Black' particularly tough to please.
The 29-year-old went onto explain his troubles in a non-competitive environment and elaborated to the media, saying:
"At the test, it's only the three of us so, all my issues came off at Turn 2. I spun off at 2, like lapped five and backed into the fence and then in my last run of the day I got loose over there as well and hit the wall."
The 2021 Cup Series champion pointed out a few quirks about the egg-shaped oval as he elaborated on why he had his troubles. He said:
"The patch in turn two should hopefully be less slick but that's kind of where my issues came from. The transition into the new patch and then out of it is pretty rough. I just recommend people taking it easy for the first few laps cus it caught me off gaurd."
