Kyle Larson addresses potential tricky scenario with..

Former NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Larson and Hendrick Motorsports are in a tricky situation with no HMS driver having secured their spot in the Championship 4 round so far. William Byron and Larson aim to punch their ticket for the final race by winning the Xfinity 500 scheduled for November 3, 2024, at the Martinsville Speedway.

The #5 Chevy Camaro ZL1 driver currently ranks fifth in the playoff standings and requires eight points in the current situation to punch his ticket for the Championship 4 round. On the other hand, Larson’s teammate Byron ranks fourth with a seven-point buffer above the cut-line.

Recently, Kyle Larson discussed the current HMS situation and how the potential outcomes were affecting the dynamics within the team. Speaking to NASCAR reporter Steven Taranto, Larson said:

Larson concluded that HMS would love to get at least two of the three drivers in the playoffs. However, as things stand, it’ll be either Larson or Byron, as Chase Elliot ranks last in the playoff standings.
