## Summary

Kyle Larson won his third NASCAR championship in Miami on Sunday, becoming the 11th driver to claim consecutive titles. The victory was especially rewarding after a difficult season in which he and his team struggled to understand the new car and, by late spring, had written off their championship chances.

Larson had 12 finishes outside the top 20 and 14 in the top 10 before his form improved from September. He then recorded wins at Illinois, Kansas and Talladega, alongside second-place finishes at Bristol and Las Vegas, and a fifth at Darlington. Larson said Hendrick Motorsports’ teamwork and consistency helped them win despite not having the fastest car; he now hopes to become the third driver to win three consecutive titles.
