    Kyle Larson scores third consecutive NASCAR Monster Energy Cup win at Michigan

    [​IMG]

    Sitting in his race car during a red flag delay near the end of the Pure Michigan 400 at Michigan International Speedway Sunday, Kyle Larson pondered the possible routes to an overtime victory. He was in fourth place and would restart for the final two-lap shootout behind leader Martin Truex Jr.

    Larson hadn’t had a fast race car all day, but he thought with a gutsy move on the restart, he could steal a win in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race. Ahead of him, Truex, the race leader, was in the opposite position. He had had a fast race car all day, and he figured he needed a strong restart to repel whatever move Larson or somebody else would throw at him. Like Larson, he was trying to figure out which scenario would be most likely to take him to victory lane.
