Kyle Larson crashes early at Darlington
For the second year in a row, Kyle Larson crashed in the Spring Darlington race.
On lap 4 in the Goodyear 400 Sunday, Larson spun off of Turn 2, ultimately making front-end contact with the inside retaining wall along the backstretch.
Larson, who started the race 19th, was running in 19th before the spin and crash.
Larson took his 2000s Terry Labonte-themed throwback racecar to the garage.

Entering Darlington, Larson was second in points with five Top-10 finishes across the first seven races, 16 points behind teammate and points leader William Byron.
Last year, in a 1990s-inspired Terry Labonte paint scheme, Larson wrecked in Stage 3 of the race in Turn 3, ultimately finishing 34th.
