One year after clinching victory in a nail-biting finish at the NASCAR Cup Series, Kyle Larson put on a show at Kansas Speedway. Leading 221 out of 256 laps, Larson achieved a significant win in the AdventHealth 400, marking his third victory of the season and the 32nd of his Cup career. This win ties him with the legendary Dale Jarrett, placing him 29th on NASCAR’s all-time wins list.

Larson was hardly challenged throughout the race, dominating both stages and posting the fastest lap, earning a total of 61 points. He finished with a healthy lead over runner-up Christopher Bell, despite easing off the throttle toward the end. Larson’s win boosts him to the top of the Cup Series regular season championship standings, now with a 35-point lead.

In the race, Larson also surpassed the milestone of 10,000 career laps led, joining fellow drivers Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch as the only active Cup drivers to achieve this.

“Great car, great execution today too for our team,” Larson shared with Fox Sports. “Glad to not win by an inch this time, a little bit safer gap. It’s exciting to win here in Kansas, and now we’re looking forward to two busy weeks at Indy.”

Bell took second, with Ryan Blaney and Chase Briscoe following to complete the top five. Larson’s performance was aided by some key drivers encountering difficulties. Notably, his teammate Chase Elliott briefly led before a poor pit stop brought him down to a 15th place finish, while Brad Keselowski faced a tire blowout that ended his challenge for the lead.

Keselowski was not alone in facing major issues, as Denny Hamlin retired due to a drivetrain failure, and other notable drivers including Erik Jones, Bubba Wallace, and Daniel Suarez also failed to complete the race.
