#42-Kyle Larson finished 25th at Dover, falling out of the top 12 and failing to make the Sprint Cup Chase Round of 12:
Q: Did you find out what the problem was with the battery earlier in the race?
Larson: ‘I don’t know if it was a mistake or what. I really don’t what to call it other than just bad luck.’
Q: It wasn’t the day you were hoping for. You had an electrical problem and a penalty on pit road. That seemed to seal your fate.
Larson: ‘I don’t know what happened with the battery or whatever. But, I lost power. We lost a lap. We had too many men over the wall. And, really, without too many men over the wall, we probably would have been all right because I was only a lap down. Whatever. But, our Target Chevy has been good every week. So, we’ll go out and try to win some races. Even though we’re not in the next round, we still have a shot at finishing fifth in points. So, we’re going to try our best to run up as far as we can in points.’
Q: What do you take from this that might help you and this team to be better next year?
Larson: ‘I don’t know what I’ve got to do. But we’ll stay positive. We’ll come back next year and go for a championship. Our team came a long way this year from where we started the season, so hats off to everybody in the shop and the road crew and Target and all the sponsors for all their hard work and effort. We just didn’t have good luck again this year.’
