While handling the Green jersey, Larson conveyed, “All right we got a Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Greek freak signed jersey. That’s pretty sick. That’s cool. Let’s get this framed. He’s like the cheat code on NBA 2k which I haven’t played a little while but he’s the guy he can do it all… except shoot that good.”

From starting at 21 on the grid, this has been a good upgrade. Kyle finished behind Martin Truex and ahead of Christopher Bell. The fifth position finish has fetched him a good 34 points. With this, the defending champion has taken himself to 12th in the driver’s championship with 183 points.

Interestingly, Kyle has been to Bristol to take part in dirt races just 48 hours before the Richmond race. The defending Cup Series champion has been splitting his duties and one really has to think if he’s a superhuman as participating in two back-to-back races is a big deal.
