Larson takes a third NASCAR Cup title as Blaney wins finale

Kyle Larson secured his third NASCAR Cup Series championship on 8 November at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Ryan Blaney won the race, passing Tyler Reddick on the last lap and crossing the line 0.314 seconds ahead.

Larson entered the finale with a lead in the standings and made the title mathematically secure after the first stage. The driver of the No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet won his second consecutive title and his third overall.

The two results reflect how the championship is scored. Blaney settled the race on the final lap, while Larson’s points across the closing stretch of the season decided the title.
