Kyle Larson was involved in an accident that changed the outcome of the Cup race at Darlington .

After wrecking on Lap 4 , Larson ’s team spent nearly two hours in the garage making repairs.

By the time he got back on track, Larson could not gain enough positions to earn additional points.

He could have earned the point for the fastest lap, but that wasn't likely.

A team shouldn't be forced to not pursue points if it has a car capable of making speed.

But with the point out there for the fastest lap, should a team be told they can’t fix the car? NASCAR sometimes needs to save teams from themselves, and if the rules say they are done, then the team can feel it did everything it could to stay in the race.
