Larson Locks Up His Third Crown
Larson didn’t even need to be at the front of the pack to clinch it. He secured his third career championship during the first stage of the Homestead-Miami Speedway race.

He pulled off an absolutely stunning move, passing Tyler Reddick on the next-to-last lap, then held on to snatch the win. Talk about stealing it at the buzzer!
What a way to cap off the 2026 season, huh? Larson grabs his third championship, and Blaney puts on a show with a last-lap pass at Homestead-Miami Speedway. It’s a finale for the books, even if the champ finished 12th!
