Larson finished second in the Bass Pro Shops Night Race NASCAR Cup Series race at Bristol Motor Speedway Saturday night.
ANALYSISLarson started deep in the field but would methodically move his way forward. He'd penetrate the Top 10 by the conclusion of stage 1 and the Top 5 by the conclusion of stage 2. Larson would race among the leaders from that point onward. The Hendrick Motorsports star would try to run down
Denny Hamlin in the closing laps, but would fall 2.4-seconds short at the checkered flag. The runner-up finish was his 13th Top 5 of the season.
