Kyle Larson made it through two late-race restarts to win his third race of 2021 and his second consecutive race at Sonoma on Sunday.
Larson had the fastest car by far throughout the race. Teammate Chase Elliott and Martin Truex Jr. were able to keep Larson in sight but couldn’t give him a challenge.
Larson started first at Sonoma for the fourth-straight race on Sunday. The previous three had resulted in a best finish of 10th. But those races came with Chip Ganassi Racing. Larson has been the fastest driver in the Cup Series over the last two months and he showed it with his first road course win.
That first road course win could have come at Circuit of the Americas two weeks ago. But the race was called because of heavy rain with fewer than 20 laps to go. That gave Elliott the win. Had the race gone the scheduled distance, Elliott would have been forced to make a final pit stop and Larson would have inherited the lead.
Elliott finished second on Sunday while Truex was third.
