The Dirty Air Trap: How Kyle Larson Forced Chase Briscoe into the Wall! #NASCAR #KyleLarson

In this breakdown of the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs, we look at the Kansas Speedway highlights to see why Chase Briscoe taking the lead from Kyle Larson actually ruined his race. The dirty air and aero-blocking usually hurt trailing stock cars, but for the number nineteen Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota, it was the only thing keeping the car balanced during the Hollywood Casino 400. After struggling early due to a bad metric qualifying spot and dodging a massive frontstretch pileup, Briscoe finally tracked down the Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet. But once he made the pass with 31 laps remaining, the clean air made his car incredibly loose. Without Larson's wake to act as an invisible crutch, Briscoe scraped the outside retaining wall multiple times in desperation mode, eventually plummeting to a fourth-place finish. We explain the bizarre physics behind this crucial playoff moment and what it means for the championship points standings as they head to Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
