By the race’s end, Larson crossed the finish just 0.576 seconds ahead of runner-up Dayne Kingshott, with Corey Day close behind. Grabbing the lead mid-race, Larson showed strong composure and racing intelligence to close out the win under pressure.
Champion Acknowledges Team Effort and Execution
After climbing out of his car, Kyle Larson reflected on the collective work that led to his victory:
“Just proud of, you know, Trevor, Jason Pride, everybody on this car for, you know, giving me great equipment and never quitting to work on it. Just had to execute there and feel like I did that. I don’t know if I was the fastest at times, but when I had to step up and hammer it, you were able to do that lead and then you make okay decisions there at the end”
