Kyle Larson Dominates AdventHealth 400 at Kansas Speedway
Stop me if you’ve heard this before… Kyle Larson had a historically dominant day as he won the AdventHealth 400 at Kansas Speedway on Sunday. The driver of the No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet led 221 of 267 laps, won Stages 1 and 2, and even turned the Xfinity Fastest Lap for good measure.
Larson eclipsed 10,000 career laps led during the race, which puts him alongside only Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin among active drivers, who have achieved that stat.
On the final lap, Larson slowed dramatically as he felt a vibration, and just wanted to make sure he didn’t lose a tire before collecting the checkered flag. He held on to defeat Christopher Bell by 0.712 seconds.

Brad Keselowski Blows Tire While Running Second at Kansas
Brad Keselowski came into Sunday’s AdventHealth 400 at Kansas Speedway in desperate need of a turnaround as he ranked 32nd in the championship standings.
Keselowski started from the rear of the field, but quickly climbed his way forward, and he worked his way to second place in the final Stage of the race.
With 73 laps to go, Keselowski was turning faster laps than leader Chase Elliott, and it looked like he was just laps away from putting himself in a position to erase what had been a miserable season.
Then, the unthinkable happened. Keselowski’s right rear tire cut down heading into Turn 1, and the driver of the No. 6 RFK Racing Ford pounded the outside wall, which ended his bid to win, and forced him to retire from the race.
