Reddick asks, “Has Kyle won anything in an Xfinity car?” Freddie Kraft responds, “I don’t think he’s ever won in an Xfinity car.”
He then adds, “Sheldon Creed, needing to win, playoffs, all this stuff going on. You know Hendrick, RCR, Trackhouse, we all worked together, we do a lot of stuff together. I think it was pretty interesting to get Andy’s side of it, and hear his perspective, you know like, Kyle should have been a little bit more break, I don’t know, more, forgiving. But I feel like Kyle was, that was my side of it…”
TJ Majors interjected mentioning it was like Watkins Glen. Reddick continued, “Yeah at Watkins Glen they kind of got after it with one another. Sheldon and Kyle did actually for an Xfinity race.”
Majors then tried to talk about the Cup Series where Larson fought against Chase Elliott. Continuing the conversation, Reddick stated, “Well that was for a win against Chase, that’s different.”

The RCR driver then returned to what he was originally talking about and said, “I should say spot on because that was one of the craziest finishes I’ve seen in a very long time. Just how that whole thing unfolded, Kyle had to work really really hard to get around AJ, run him down, and it was just a great battle between the three of them.”

The final few laps at Darlington saw the leaders Sheldon Creed and Kyle Larson battle it out between them, to their surprise while they were fighting for position, a wild Noah Gragson appeared and took over the lead, eventually winning the race.
Creed was shoved into the wall by Kyle Larson after both drivers went up against each other as aggressively as they could without spinning out each other. Gragson held onto his third place until he saw the gap opening up and then finally stormed onto victory lane.
