Wavering on Kyle Larson waiver; bullish on Martin Truex Jr. a

Why has the Kyle Larson waiver decision taken so long?
Here’s my (slightly) educated guess. Someone high up the NASCAR food chain is holding out on giving Kyle a playoff waiver while the other corner-office inhabitants are hoping to change that person’s mind.

Another possibility: They want to give him the waiver, but they’re batting around ideas on how to rationalize it publicly.

Carving out an exception for a top-flight driver who attempts the high-profile Indy/Charlotte double, only to have weather intercede, should be an easy carve. Suggesting he chose IndyCar over NASCAR is overly simplistic.

He’s won three of his last five Sonoma starts, including last year, and was third in one of those other two.

His winless streak is at 31, and since the playoffs started last year, he’s been kinda lost. A couple weeks of solid momentum are followed by a run of lackluster efforts.
