There was no lamenting his third consecutive runner-up finish because Larson is the current points leader of NASCAR’s top series. A two-tire stop put him in position to win Sunday at Phoenix in overtime, but a slip on the restart cost him any chance of running down leader Ryan Newman in the two-lap sprint to the finish.
