The official winning margin at Kansas Speedway was a thousandth of a second.
Racers head toward Turn 1 at the start of a NASCAR Cup Series auto race at Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kan., Sunday, May 5, 2024.
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Kyle Larson beat Chris Buescher to the line at Kansas Speedway on Sunday in the closest finish in After a caution flag forced a green-white-checkered finish, Larson pulled behind Buescher on the backstretch of the final lap, then came around him through the final corner. The two cars banged doors as they headed for the stripe, and it was so close that both teams began to celebrate — though only Hendrick Motorsports was able to keep the party going.
The official winning margin was a thousandth of a second — every bit as close as that dramatic Kentucky Derby — and Buescher was left both dumbfounded and dejected. So was the Ford contingent, which has yet to win a Cup Series race this season. Martin Truex Jr. finished fourth and Denny Hamlin, who had the lead on the final restart, faded back to fifth.Lando Norris earns first career F1 victory with dominating performance at MiamiDonovan Mitchell scores 39 as Cavaliers push past Magic in Game 7If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
