Kyle Larson finishes sixth in Cook Out 400, headed to Knoxville Nationals

Kyle Larson finished sixth in the Cook Out 400 at Richmond Raceway on Saturday night. Immediately after the race, he departed for Pella, Iowa, to compete in the Knoxville Nationals. This year's Knoxville event overlapped with the Richmond race, leading to a strategic exit from the NASCAR event. Larson, a three-time Knoxville Nationals champion, had won a preliminary feature, earning him the pole position for the main race. Severe weather delayed the Knoxville schedule, allowing Larson time to arrive for the A-Main if his flight timing holds.
