Larson dominates All-Star Race in NASCAR's return to one of its original racetracks.
Having won previous All-Star Races at Charlotte and Texas, Kyle Larson is the only driver to win the $1-million top prize at three different venues.
Not only that. The win gave Larson a sweep of NASCAR events at the reborn .625-mile short track. On Saturday he won the Craftsman Truck Series race in NASCAR’s return to North Wilkesboro for the first time since 1996. “So much fun there. That was an old-school ass whipping, for sure. We had a great car on the long run there and was just thinking for sure there was going to be a caution. I got out to a big lead, and I could see everybody's cars were driving like crap in front of me, but I cannot thank this 5 team enough.
Comfortably in front after a restart on Lap 111, Larson crossed the finish line 4.537 seconds ahead of runner-up Bubba Wallace, who duplicated Larson’s Lap 18 pit stop strategy but couldn’t match the speed of the No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet.
