Kyle Larson's saw his hopes for victory in the inaugural NASCAR Cup race at Iowa Speedway come to an abrupt end with just over 100 laps to go.

Larson was a dominant force from the very start, leading 80 laps from pole position and winning the first stage. He was hoping to become the first driver to score four wins this year, but he never got the chance. At the end of Lap 219 of 350, Larson forced it three-wide up the middle on a chaotic restart. He had Brad Keselowski to his outside and Daniel Suarez to his inside as they raced out of Turn 4.

'I wanted to get as many cars as I could in the beginning of that run . It probably just ended up biting me. 'I had room. I mean I made it to the exit of the corner and I'm not sure if Suarez got loose underneath me or what happened. But he got into my left-rear and kind got me out of control.' Larson was penalized two laps after HMS sent too many crew members over the wall to repair the car.
