Kyle Larson hit the wall and nearly spun out another time but still managed to come away with a dominant NASCAR Cup playoff victory Sunday at Las Vegas Motor Speedway that made him the first driver locked into the Championship 4.
Despite Larson winning both stages and leading a race-high 133 of 267 laps, Larson’s victory Sunday was anything but easy. While running down the race leader, Larson hit the wall pretty hard off Turn 2 hard late in Stage 2 and fell back in the running order to regroup. Larson reclaimed the lead on pit road on the next-to-last caution and after a brief battle with Brad Keselowski appeared ready to cruise to victory.
With two races remaining in the semifinal round of the playoffs, the four drivers lowest in points without a win and in danger of elimination are Chris Buescher, Blaney, Reddick and Bell, who is two points below the cutoff line. Stage 1 Larson passed Bell with eight of 80 laps remaining and held him off by 0.525 seconds to claim the Stage 1 win. Keselowski was third, Reddick fourth and Truex rounded out the top five.
