Total domination with a clutch finish. Kyle Larson turned the Hollywood Casino 400 into his personal playground on Sunday, leading 235 laps and pocketing a maximum 76-point haul.
When a late-race caution allowed Chase Briscoe to snatch the lead, Larson didn't blink—repassing the No. 19 car inside the final seven laps to lock down his fourth career win at Kansas Speedway and tighten his grip on the Cup Series championship race.
