For the second straight NASCAR Cup Series race at Bristol Motor Speedway, Kyle Larson took the field behind the woodshed.
After dominating the 2024 Bristol night race and Saturday's Xfinity Series race en route to victories, Larson put a similar beatdown on the field on Sunday, leading 412 laps in his second win of 2025 and his third Cup Series win at Bristol.
Larson swept the stages and led 412 laps — including 350 in a row from Lap 40 to Lap 389 — in the victory.
Larson's win comes just days after Hendrick Motorsports Communications Director Jon Edwards — who worked closely with both Larson and Hall of Famer Jeff Gordon — tragically passed away. Many teams ran decals honoring Edwards on their vehicles throughout the race weekend at Bristol.
"This one's definitely for Jon," Larson told Fox Sports. "We're going to miss him. Successful weekend here, I wish he was going to be with us here to celebrate, but I know he's celebrating in spirit."
"Just another flawless race here at Bristol for the No. 5 team," he continued. "I don't know how many laps of green we ran there, but it was fun. (I) felt like I did a pretty good job in traffic."
