SAD DEPARTURE FOR NASCAR : NASCAR announced that Kyle Larson is Leaving immediately after Facing…..
The 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season heads to Martinsville this weekend for the Cook Out 400 on FS1.
And fans and bettors are diving into championship futures.
At the end of February, Kyle Larson was the favorite at +500 to win it all. But Christopher Bell’s streak — which included wins at Atlanta, COTA and Phoenix — moved him to the top of the list. Now he’s +330, shifting from +370 over the last week.
Just minutes after Kyle Larson crossed the finish line on the most dominating victory ever for a Hendrick Motorsports driver, his team rushed his 9-year-old son to the winning Chevrolet.
Owen Larson was placed on the window, half in the car, half out, as his dad drove a victory lap around Bristol Motor Speedway with his son holding the No. 1 finger in the air. He later joined his dad atop the car during Saturday night’s victory lane celebration.
“We had a little boys’ weekend here this weekend,” Larson said. “We’ll bring some hardware home tonight, too.”
Larson dominated the first elimination race of NASCAR’s 10-race playoff portion of the season by leading all but 38 of the 500 laps at the track in Bristol, Tennessee — the most laps led ever in a race by a Hendrick driver. It easily moved him into the second round of the playoffs, while former NASCAR champions Brad Keselowski and Martin Truex Jr., as well as Ty Gibbs and Harrison Burton, were eliminated from the 16-driver field.
