Not only did Larson’s win at Kansas solidify his position as a frontrunner in the 2025 Cup Series season, but it also marked his third career victory at the Kansas Speedway, a feat that places him in esteemed company alongside racing legends Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon, and Joey Logano. Despite only participating in four races in 2020, Larson emerged as the winningest driver of the 2020s with an impressive 26 victories. His standout performance in 2021, where he clinched a remarkable 10 wins en route to his first championship with HMS, was just a glimpse of the greatness to come from the talented driver.
Following his triumph at Kansas, Larson took to social media to share his elation, encapsulating the moment with a single word: “Kansas.” This victory not only solidified Larson’s status as a powerhouse in NASCAR but also set the stage for his upcoming endeavors, including the All-Star Race weekend and his ambitious Indy 500/Coca-Cola 600 Double attempt.
