Kyle Larson<\/a> appeared destined for Victory Lane at Texas Motor Speedway<\/a>, surging out to a four-plus second lead with less than 30 laps to go. However, everything changed when a caution came out, and the 2021 Cup Series champion found himself sliding into the wall on the subsequent restart after an intense door-to-door battle with Bubba Wallace<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That crash dropped the driver to 31st in the race and, more importantly, just a couple of points above the playoff cutline. This week, Hendrick Motorsports Vice President of Competition Chad Knaus talked about the race and what his driver faces in the upcoming playoff races. He didn't sound confident about the No. 5's chances, and Clint Bowyer<\/a> didn't hesitate to call him out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
