Kyle Larson climbed from 11th on the last lap of overtime and won Sunday’s YellaWood 500 at Talladega Superspeedway.
Larson beat Hendrick Motorsports teammate William Byron by 0.041 seconds for his first win in 24 Cup starts at Talladega. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. finished third.
Two major crashes had caught several other Chase contenders before the sprint to the finish. The result strengthened Larson’s position with two races left.
