Advance to Victory Lane: Can Kyle Larson get revenge at Darlington?

Darlington throwback might also mean a throwback to last weekend's dramatic finish at Kansas Speedway -- if the Racing Insights' metric formula holds true. There are strong indicators that Sunday's Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway (3 p.m. ET, FS1, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio) could come down to another battle between Kyle Larson and Denny Hamlin. FANTASY LIVE: Set your roster | See weekend schedule Hamlin's average finish of 7.5 at Darlington is his best on an oval and his best of all tracks with more than two starts.
