Actually sorry they’re saying it could just be one tire below the line and would violate the rule. But Larson still didn’t have ANY tire below the line at any time, in NASCAR’s view.
They’ll penalize Bubba at Atlanta even though he didn’t even gain any positions, but they won’t penalize the golden boy for going below the yellow line to pass all the Chevys who backed up and waited for him to fly by
Talladega chatter from garage area: Hearing Chevy has instructed teams to help Larson. Don’t let him get hung out at end of stages to max potential for stage points. Talking to Toyota CC that may hurt their cars bc so many Chevys up front helps Kyle but also can take stage points away from Toyota drivers. It’s one thing to have a plan it’s another to execute. I expect all Chevy teams to be on Larson’s strategy to maximize the 5’s day. The “Larson effect” w Chevy will be a fascinating one. Will it work? Must see TV! 2pmET NBc #NASCAR
