Kyle Larson holds a 67-point lead in the Chase and should be able to cruise to a NASCAR Cup Series championship in the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Although he has excelled at the 1.5-mile oval with two victories in the past four races, Larson says he’s feeling the pressure of closing out his second consecutive title over the Joe Gibbs Racing duo of Christopher Bell and Denny Hamlin. Larson needs only nine points to clinch the title outright. Larson says “it’s not locked up, so there’s still definitely pressure.”
