Kyle Larson was simply unstoppable in Saturday’s NASCAR Xfinity Series SciAps 300 at Bristol Motor Speedway. Driving the No. 17 HendrickCars.com Chevrolet, Larson led 276 of the race’s 300 laps, and there were portions of the race where it looked like he’d go on to lap the whole field if Stages weren’t a thing.

The field did keep up with Larson better than it had all race long on the final run of the afternoon, but Larson was still able to lead the final 110 laps of the race, as he cruised to a win by a margin of victory of more than two seconds over Rookie of the Year contender Carson Kvapil.

“It’s awesome,” Larson said after the race. “I wish I could have won last night, but just came up a little bit short, but cool to get a win this weekend for Jon [Edwards] and everybody who’s been a part of his life.”
