Kyle Larson won the NASCAR Xfinity Series O’Reiley Auto Parts Challenge on Saturday at Texas.  As usual, Larson ran the high line through the corners, almost hitting the wall all day, but only brushed it once.  It gave him an advantage on corner exit, and having the outside line on the final restart helped him get by a dominate Brad Keselowski for the win.  “I love seeing Elliott Sadler behind me on the restarts,” said Larson, who won for the first time at Texas, the second time this season and the fifth time in his career. “He’s really good at taking off and pushing. He helped me win Pocono earlier this year, and he helped me win this one.  I was just really tight on the short runs in traffic there, but once I got to clean air, I was like, ‘Oh, man, I’m loose, and I got nervous and got to the top just in time to get rolling. I actually got loose over the bumps and hit the wall in (Turn) 1. But I had a big enough gap when I hit the wall that he wasn’t able to get to me.”  It was Larson’s second win this year.  Keselowski led 145 of the 200 laps, but got passed on the final restart with 29 to go.  “Whatever car got out in front, with the way the aerodynamics are, was going to control the pace,” Keselowski said. “It’s so hard to pass because the aero is so important and the cars are so equal that way.  I thought maybe we were just a touch faster, but without the track position, you lose too much grip behind the guy to do anything.”  Here are the current Chase standings.
