Kyle Larson Secures Second NASCAR Cup Series Championship — See Him in Sonoma June 26-28, 2026

Kyle Larson has officially etched his name among NASCAR's modern greats, clinching his second NASCAR Cup Series Championship in an unforgettable finale at Phoenix Raceway.

The Elk Grove, California native delivered an epic victory on Sunday by taking the lead on a late-race restart after a caution for William Byron's flat tire overtaking Championship 4 hopefuls Denny Hamlin and Chase Briscoe, showcasing his trademark precision, patience, and pure speed to capture the title and cap off a remarkable season. With this victory, Larson joins an exclusive list of multi-time champions, further cementing his status as one of the sport's premier talents.

Larson's second championship is especially meaningful for Northern California fans, as the driver of the No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet grew up just a short drive from Sonoma Raceway - his home track on the NASCAR schedule. Each year, the Sonoma event draws legions of local supporters eager to cheer on their hometown hero as he battles the twists and turns of wine country.

Fans will have their next chance to see Larson and the stars of the NASCAR Cup Series in action June 26-28, 2026, when NASCAR returns to Sonoma Raceway for its only stop in Northern California's beautiful wine country.

Known as one of the most technical and scenic tracks in NASCAR, Sonoma Raceway's 10-turn road course offers fans an unmatched combination of high-speed racing and breathtaking views - a signature California experience not to be missed.
