Cliff Daniels on what went into Kyle Larson scoring fastest lap bonus in Mexico while laps down
LONG POND, Pa. — Crew chief Cliff Daniels admits he was ready to park Kyle Larson's car when there were not enough laps left for Larson to gain any more positions last weekend at Mexico. It was Larson who led the charge to remain in the race. That led to Larson, who finished 36th, scoring the bonus point for the fastest lap. One point can make a difference — Larson lost the regular season championship last year by a point. But that wasn't necessarily the impetus for Larson staying in the race. Larson spent a good part of last week's race in the garage after his car was damaged when Kyle Busch slid and collected several other's early in the event. Daniels said Larson's car suffered suspension damage. That could be replaced under NASCAR's Damaged Vehicle Policy. The team also had what Daniels called a 'severely bent' right front shock. That could not be replaced. When Larson returned more than 20 laps behind the leaders, Daniels said he kept an eye on when they would reach a point where they would not be able to make up any more positions. 'So we waited until three laps after that point, just because, to be honest, I still have a little PTSD from Darlington where ultimately we did affect the outcome of the race completely inadvertently,' Daniels told NBC Sports on Saturday at Pocono Raceway. Larson's car was damaged in a crash on Lap 4 at Darlington earlier this season. His crew spent about two hours in the garage making repairs and he gained one position. Running more than 150 laps behind the leaders, Larson slowed to keep away from Tyler Reddick and Ryan Blaney as they raced for the lead. But Bubba Wallace got into the back of Larson's car and spun him, causing a caution that changed the outcome of the race, allowing Denny Hamlin to win. Dustin Long, With Darlington in mind, Daniels said he called Larson into the garage last weekend at Mexico when there were no more positions for them to gain. Daniels said that Larson told him: 'Hey man, are we done? I don't really want to DNF. I just want to be able to keep running.' 'I'm like, alright, if we're going to be out there, how can we make it worth our time?' Daniels said. 'I knew that Kyle was going to want (a) clean track and try to go fast. 'So, ultimately, we started throwing adjustments at the car, tires and just doing a lot of things. It was a great team exercise of just the pit stop reps for backward pit stops. There was value in that. We changed air pressures a lot. There was value in that. We made adjustments on the car. There was value in that. Daniels noted that the repairs the crew performed in Mexico were different from what they had to do with the car in Darlington. 'Darlington was a very different experience than Mexico because in Darlington it was pretty much cosmetic body on the car,' Daniels said. 'We had to replace the front bumper structure, we had to do a lot to get the nose patched back up and get it on the car. That was all kind of unique to that. There was really no suspension damage in Darlington. 'Complete opposite of that in Mexico. It was all suspension damage with very minimal to the body. Procedurally, there were a few things we carried as a team from what the Darlington kind of process was to the Mexico process of just how to communicate through who's going where, who's attacking which area. 'But it's crazy how much we still learn because it was so different, just very suspension-heavy and what we had to replace in Mexico. The value of that to me you just don't know until you kind of have that moment in the playoffs.'

Shane Van Gisbergen Takes Jab at Red Bull Over Liam Lawson Demotion
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. NASCAR driver Shane van Gisbergen made a joke about Red Bull Racing's brutal driver handlings. Gisbergen got his maiden win in Mexico over the past weekend after struggling in his first full-time NASCAR Cup Series season. He only made the top ten once in the first 15 races. He struggled to adapt to the ovals that feature so prominently in the American racing series. Shane Van Gisbergen, driver of the #88 Safety Culture Chevrolet, celebrates after winning the NASCAR Cup Series Viva Mexico 250 at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez on June 15, 2025 in Mexico City, Mexico.

Photo byGisbergen - a New Zealander sponsored by Red Bull - started in pole position in the Mexico City Cup Series race. His win was anything but smooth; he battled shifting conditions due to the inconsistent rain and a never-ending series of caution flags. Despite all of the challenges, Gisbergen managed to pull off the win, staying calm, cool, and collected throughout the race. After his landmark win, he thanked Trackhouse Racing for their continued support of him despite his struggles. He made a cheeky remark about the support he received during his downturn in form, comparing it to what Red Bull offered fellow New Zealander Liam Lawson. "I'm glad I didn't drive for Red Bull F1 after how the first few rounds went," van Gisbergen joked after the race. "[Team boss] Justin [Marks] has been amazing, supporting me and just giving me all the time I need and not putting pressure on [me]. It's been really cool." Red Bull's F1 team decided to axe Lawson after only two races, a drastic decision that followed a series of underwhelming results. When Lawson made an Instagram post back in March about his removal from Red Bull, van Gisbergen left a message under the post saying, "Prove em Wrong!" The 36-year-old New Zealander mentored his fellow countryman and backed Lawson through different racing series. While trying to make it in America, van Gisbergen still monitored Lawson's progress. "The way he's gotten to F1 has been a little difficult the last couple of years. But seeing him get this opportunity full-time now, I'm just stoked and so proud," he said back in December. "You've got to be versatile, which is something I've always tried to do by driving a bunch of different cars. It helps you when it comes to something new in the setup, something technical, or even with the weather changing. You've got to be able to adapt straight away. "Liam's been exceptional at that. Even when F1 wasn't working out, he did DTM and other racing that I think has really helped him."
