NASCAR: Kyle Larson wins Sonoma for second-straight victory
Fox News
Kyle Larson won his second NASCAR Cup Series race in a row by beating teammate Chase Elliott to the checkered flag at Sonoma. It was Hendrick Motorsports' fourth 1-2 finish in a row.
So it was expected that one of Hendrick's four drivers would win again on Sunday, when NASCAR returned to the California wine country for the first time since 2019 because of the pandemic. But the win was supposed to go to reigning Cup champion Chase Elliott, the current king of the road with six victories on road courses including a victory over Larson two weeks ago in the rain-shortened debut at Circuit of the Americas in Texas. Instead the win went to Larson, the local racer from Elk Grove who was an infant the first time he attended a NASCAR race at Sonoma. And even though it was in overtime, it wasn't close.More Related News
