— Jim Utter (@jim_utter) March 30, 2015Larson fainted and had to be transported to Martinsville Memorial Hospital to be evaluated by a neurologist. One was not available and Larson was transported to CMC in Charlotte to be evaluated.
Larson has three top-10 finishes this season at Atlanta, Las Vegas and Fontana. Because he participated in the Coors Light Pole Qualifying on Friday at Martinsville, Larson maintained Chase eligibility despite missing the race.
