Kyle Larson will go to a backup car for Sunday’s elimination race at the Charlotte Roval after hitting the wall during practice.

Larson hit the outside wall in Turn 8. He went to the garage where the team began to examine the damage. The No. 5 team made the decision to go to a backup car. Larson will start the elimination race from the rear of the field.

“I just got loose entering (Turn 8) and just overcorrected,” Larson said after the crash. “Got the right front into the wall. It just gets kind of bouncy over there, and it just stepped out on me.”
