In fact, Larson admits that Superspeedway races have not been the best for him, “Yeah, they’re not,” Larson said Saturday at Talladega Superspeedway. “For whatever reason, I don’t know.

He has been caught up in a few crashes at Superspeedways. However, we have seen him improve, even though it would be very difficult for Larson as he said, “It does get frustrating because when you put the effort in, you want to see results,” Larson said. “And maybe I have gotten better at these places but just circumstance of getting lucky and missing wrecks and stuff I haven’t done a good enough job [of]. But it’s just a totally different style of racing and one I guess I’m not comfortable with.”
