Kyle Larson, regular Cup Series driver of the No. 5 Chevy Camaro ZL1, will fly under a different number on Saturday for the Xfinity Series race at Darlington Raceway – taking the green flag from third place in the No. 10 NASCAR Chevy Camaro.
During qualifying, Larson turned a 29.789-second lap around the 1.366-mile speedway at 165.081 mph, missing the front row but proving that he’ll be a force to be reckoned with once the race is underway. He’ll have another Bow Tie machine starting right beside him in fourth: the No. 1 Camaro of Sam Mayer, who posted a 29.849-second lap at 164.749 mph.
By comparison, the polesitter, John Hunter Nemecheck, pushed the No. 20 Toyota TRD Supra around in 29.613 seconds at 166.062 mph, besting the second-place No. 19 Supra of Ryan Truex, who posted a 29.754-second lap at 165.275 mph.
The green flag for the Xfinity Series race at Darlington Raceway will fall at 1:30 p.m. ET on Saturday, May 13th, 2023.
