Hendrick Motorsports now has the most Cup Series wins of any team in NASCAR history.
Kyle Larson got the team’s 269th win on Sunday night in the Coca-Cola 600 to break a tie with Petty Enterprises atop the NASCAR Cup Series win list. Hendrick tied Petty the week before when Chase Elliott won the rain-shortened race at the Circuit of the Americas.
Larson was absolutely dominant. He led 328 of the race’s 400 laps as all four Hendrick cars finished in the top five. Elliott was second, William Byron was fourth and Alex Bowman was fifth. Kyle Busch broke up the Hendrick group in third.
Larson sprinted away at the end and was unchallenged. He won the race by 10 seconds.
The win is Larson’s second of the season. He started on the pole and led 89 laps in the first stage. Sometimes the cars that are the fastest at the beginning of the 600 aren’t the fastest at the end. That was not the case on Sunday night.
