NASCAR Homestead Auto Racing

Kyle Larson is now a three-time NASCAR champion. Larson clinched his third Cup Series title in six years early in the 400-mile season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Sunday. Larson became the first back-to-back champion since Jimmie Johnson in 2010; Johnson won five in a row beginning in 2006. The 34-year-old Larson became the 11th driver in NASCAR history with three Cup titles, joining a list that includes seven-time champs Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt and Johnson. Jeff Gordon has four. Lee Petty, David Pearson, Cale Yarborough. Darrell Waltrip, Tony Stewart and Joey Logano also have three. Larson was the overwhelming favorite to hoist the Bill France Cup in Homestead long before the green flag dropped.
