Kyle Larson has $1 million on his mind

Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series points leader Kyle Larson is one of 19 drivers who’ll race for $1 million on Saturday night.

And he’s got a very good chance of succeeding.

Larson, driver of the No. 42 Chip Ganassi Racing Chevrolet, will be going for his first victory in the $1 million-to-win Monster Energy All-Star Race under the lights at Charlotte Motor Speedway (TV coverage on FS1 begins at 6 p.m. ET Saturday).

Last year, Larson came close, winning the all-star last-chance qualifying race and leading the main event until late in the race, when Joey Logano got by him for the victory.
