The Hendrick Motorsports driver won for the fifth time this year in the NASCAR Cup Series, finishing ahead of second-place Elliott and third-place Truex on Sunday. Larson took the lead from pit road on Lap 65 and never let it go. Credit to Elliott, though; he managed to fight from the rear for his second-place finish after he was hit with an L1 penalty prior to the race. Larson’s win is good news for Kevin Harvick and Tyler Reddick, who finished eighth and 10th, respectively. They’re the last two drivers in the projected NASCAR Cup playoff field. A first-time winner this season would knock Reddick, then Harvick out of the playoff running.Sporting News tracked live updates and highlights from NASCAR’s race at Watkins Glen on Sunday.
