Kyle Larson won the Coca-Cola 600 from Charlotte Motor Speedway on Sunday night to pick up his second win of the season.
Larson continued his strong season with a dominant
effort in NASCAR’s longest race. Larson led
327 laps after starting on the pole, and was able to run at the front of the
field for most of the race.
Even though he dominated the race, Larson said he had
to fight his teammates Chase Elliott and William Byron for the victory throughout
the night.
“It was not easy, I felt like I had to fight off
William and Chase a lot,” Larson said. “It
kind of worked out that last run…[Erik Jones] had to pit and pulled out in
front of me. I just towed with him for
awhile and stretched my lead out.”

Larson said it was an honor to be the driver to get
the record-breaking win for HMS.
“Feels great to be the guy to help Mr. H break that
record finally,” Larson said. “Very
lucky that Mr. H was able to put together a deal for me; I’m living a dream for
sure.”
Elliott finished second to his teammate on Sunday, and
said Larson was the class of the organization and the field.
“He did a good job tonight and ran a great race,”
Elliott said. “Made no mistakes and the
best car won. They’ve been kicking ass
since February, so they deserve to win and rightfully so.”
“Proud of HMS; feel like everybody’s just pulling in
the same direction and it’s really showing.”
