Larson wins third NASCAR Cup race of the season at Michigan
Kyle Larson capitalized on an overtime restart at Michigan International Speedway to capture his fourth career Cup victory. He moved past Martin Truex Jr. and Erik Jones after a late spin by Michael McDowell and a red-flag oil delay. Larson, who also ran in Knoxville Nationals, extended his MIS win streak to three consecutive races, the first to do so since Bill Elliott in 1985-86. Truex lamented the double-file restart, saying he briefly led before being edged for the win.
