He started from the pole, won both stages, earned the bonus point for the race’s fastest lap and led more than 80% of the race to collect his third Cup victory of the year and take the points lead from Hendrick Motorsports teammate William Byron.
Christopher Bell was second, followed by Ryan Blaney, Chase Briscoe and Alex Bowman.

Larson scored the maximum 61 points to Byron’s 13 for placing 24th. Larson now leads Byron by 35 points.
