Kyle Larson's No. 5 Chevrolet comes to rest in the infield grass after he lost control following a spin in Stage 2 of Sunday's eero 400 at Chicagoland Speedway.

Because of the rain from earlier in the weekend, Larson's No. 5 Chevrolet needed a tow to get out of the muddy grass and back on track.

Once his No. 5 Chevrolet was extracted from the muddy grass, Kyle Larson got a push because all four of his Goodyear tires were flat after the incident.

After a push from the tow truck, Larson made it to pit road with the No. 5 Chevrolet, where he got four fresh tires and was checked over for other issues. Larson got back on track but finished 34th, two laps down.
