On Sunday, Kyle Larson made it look like it was 2021 again.
The No. 5 car ran in the front pretty much all Sunday afternoon, hugging the Homestead-Miami Speedway wall like no one else could. The 2021 NASCAR Cup Series champion earned two stage wins — both of which didn’t require any real sweat as he was ahead of the rest of the field by six seconds — and then, 100 laps later, he took a ceremonious trip to Victory Lane.
“Definitely the best run we’ve had all year long,” Larson told NBC after retrieving the checkered flag after the race. “We’ve been capable of it. I feel like many weekends we just haven’t quite been able to put it all together.”
