SPEED FREAKS

A couple questions we had to ask — ourselves

Will Kyle Larson get over the runner-up hump?

GODSPEAK: Larson is the Harry Gant of this racing generation. Gant had more second-place finishes than wins.

KEN'S CALL: Four straight in non-plate races, dating back to Homestead. Maybe he's comfortable there.

Through four races, your biggest surprise?

GODSPEAK: Two things — Kyle Larson leading the points standings, and Ford's two wins out of the box.

KEN'S CALL: Should probably go with this “Matt Dibenedetto has as many top-10s as Jimmie and Junior combined. One.”

Kyle can't blame Joey for costing him the Phoenix win, can he?

GODSPEAK: Circumstances beyond Joey's control, unless he purposely overheated his right-front tire to make it explode.

KEN'S CALL: Not in a purposeful way, of course, but Kyle doesn't consider it a bouquet.
