Kyle Larson should be rested on road courses

Based on his career record on road courses, Kyle Larson should be rested this week for the Toyota / Save Mart 350k at Sonoma Raceway.

Larson has made eight previous starts on road courses. Four of these – including the last three – have ended in the 20s. Only one was a top-10 (a fourth at the Glen in his rookie season). That firmly suggests there are going to be better places to start him in the future.
