NASCAR Chevy Dominates at Kansas, Eyes Indy Double Next

Kyle Larson delivered a commanding performance at Kansas Speedway on May 10, 2025, powering his No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet to a dominant victory. After securing the pole position, Larson quickly took control and led 221 of the race’s 267 laps — marking one of the most dominant wins of the NASCAR Cup Series season.

The win was Larson’s third of 2025, putting him alongside Christopher Bell as the only drivers with three victories so far this year. It also marked Larson’s third career win at Kansas and the 32nd of his Cup Series career, tying him with NASCAR Hall of Famer Dale Jarrett for 29th on the all-time wins list.

“Great car, great execution today,” Larson said. “Glad to not win by an inch this time. A little bit safer gap. Congrats to everyone at Hendrick Motorsports and the engine shop.”

Larson swept both of the race’s opening stages, bringing his stage win total to eight for the season—a new record for the first 12 races. He now leads the Cup Series standings by 35 points over teammate William Byron, whose race ended early after a blown tire relegated the No. 24 Chevy to a 24th-place finish.

Chase Elliott, in the No. 9 Chevrolet, looked like Larson’s closest challenger, leading 29 laps. However, a misstep on pit road cost Elliott 11 positions late in the race, and he was unable to recover, ultimately finishing 15th.

Looking ahead, Larson now turns his attention to one of the most ambitious challenges in motorsports: the Indy Double. Over Memorial Day weekend, he will attempt to compete in both the Indianapolis 500 and the Coca-Cola 600 on the same day—a test of endurance and precision that few drivers have attempted.

With his current momentum, all eyes will be on Larson as he aims to make history once again.
