Beyond certain prejudices that some people have, Ty Gibbs is without a doubt an insanely talented racecar driver. Consider this, he almost beat three top-class drivers in the recent Xfinity Series race, defending NASCAR Cup champion Kyle Larson, his teammate William Byron, and AJ Allmendinger.

But what happened, happened, a bad move, and his race was over.

However, Gibbs would’ve learned a lesson by watching the driver who eventually won the race on Saturday, Kyle Larson win again on Sunday by doing to Chase Elliott what he tried to do against Byron.

This is exactly what Freddie Kraft pointed out recently.

“This move is not a lot different than the move Kyle Larson made at the end of the race in the Cup race, except Kyle executed it better than Ty did,” the spotter said regarding the move by Gibbs that tangled him up with Byron.

“If Ty can get in there another half a car deeper and have control wheel-to-wheel into the bus stop, all Ty does is push William to the right, and he continues on and wins the race.”

Kraft emphasized that the main reason why Gibbs failed in his move and Larson succeeded a day later was that the youngster failed to get in deep enough at the end of the bus stop.

Kyle Larson knew what he had to do on Sunday by learning from Saturday

In an interview after winning the Cup Series race at the Glen, Kyle Larson opened up on the mentality he was carrying into Sunday’s race coupled with his learnings from the race on Saturday.

“I had the restart before, I kind of got put in a bad spot because he had the dominant position on me with the nose ahead. Every time I was in the right lane yesterday in Xfinity,” he said.

“I told myself if I had a nose ahead of him before we got to the braking zone, I was going to have to try my best to maintain that, not let him get a nose ahead of me.”

Larson described that he had a good restart, and he “got in there hot.”

The defending Cup champion reasoned his actions by claiming he did what he had to do, something he isn’t proud of considering the guy on the other end is his teammate.

“But I feel like I had to execute that way to get the win,” he added.
