Kyle Larson

Pit Lane Interview

Q. Kyle, where did that type of performance come from? If I told you at the beginning of the day that you would end up third, what would you have said?

KYLE LARSON: I'd have been very happy. Yeah, I was not happy to start the race. Really not happy all weekend. Just proud of the team. We definitely know how to fight to get a good finish here at Phoenix. We do it every time. We're never good here. It's not a surprise that we weren't great.

We still come up with a third like we typically do here. I think that's three third-place finishes here in a row. Just proud of the team. It took a lot of fight.

Yeah, we definitely have a lot of work to do here. But excited to get to Vegas next week, see what we have on a mile-and-a-half. Go to work.

But happy to put together two solid finishes in a row here. Just continue to build on it.
