<p>In what will be seen as a controversial ending, Kyle Larson wins the Brickyard 400 in double overtime under caution. Battling with Ryan Blaney and Tyler Reddick, Larson secures another <a href="https://www.on3.com/category/nascar/news/">NASCAR</a> crown jewel to his already Hall of Fame career. </p>



<p>Kyle Larson is the first driver this season to get to four wins. He won at Las Vegas, Kansas, and Sonoma. Now, he is a Brickyard 400 winner. His IndyCar venture didn’t end how he wanted it to, but his trip to Indianapolis with NASCAR sure did. </p>



<p>In that Hendrick and Arrow McLaren livery, <a href="https://x.com/NASCARONFOX/status/1815150918918123779" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Larson gets it done</a>. Larson has the Brickyard 400, Southern 500, and Coca-Cola 600 to his name. </p>

<p>Kyle Larson wins at Indianapolis. He also hinted at announcing his next Double attempt in the near future. This is not the end of Larson’s story at Indianapolis. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-denny-hamlin-wins-stage-1-chase-elliott-penalized">Denny Hamlin wins Stage 1, Chase Elliott penalized </h2>



<p>On the front row with his 23XI Racing driver, Tyler Reddick, on pole, Denny Hamlin had a good view to begin this race. This first stage was clean, a lot of green flag racing. </p>



<p>Fast cars were able to move up but as usual at Indy, things got strung out and into a single-file line after a while. Hamlin was able to take the lead and settle in before the end of the stage. </p>



<p>Chase Elliott received a penalty for “blend line violation” as he came back on the track from pit road. He was incensed by the penalty, too. </p>



<p>Taking those 10 points and bonus playoff point, that’s major for Hamlin right now. He came into this race only 20 points outside of the regular season lead. This race was critical in that battle up at the top of the standings. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-field-jumbles-around-bubba-wallace-takes-advantage">Field jumbles around, Bubba Wallace takes advantage</h2>



<p>Teams were setting themselves up on tire strategy throughout the first stage. Getting their tires and fuel in order to make it the 400-mile distance in the most efficient way possible. </p>



<p>On Lap 70, Cody Ware lost a tire on the track. Ware attempted to make it to pit road but, he lost the tire and a caution came out. This forced a lot of drivers to pit due to fuel windows. That allowed others to move up in track position. </p>



<p>It wasn’t long before there was another caution flag in Stage 2. William Byron was wiped out by an incident that involved Chase Briscoe, Ryan Preece, and Harrison Burton. Bubba Wallace took full advantage of the strategy mix-up and the pair of cautions. </p>



<p>The 23-car was able to race to the stage win, his first since 2022. Those points are going to be valuable as the playoffs approach. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-kyle-larson-wins-under-caution">Kyle Larson wins under caution </h2>



<p>The final stage is where most of the action happened. Drivers were getting antsy, cars were wearing out, and there were more chances taken on the track. That resulted in more caution flags. </p>



<p>When overtime first started, Brad Keselowski was leading. However, he pulled off to pit road right before the green flag. Larson moved up on the restart and took off pulled up beside Ryan Blaney. </p>



<p>By the time the next caution came out, Turn 1, Larson had taken the lead from Blaney, which left Blaney very upset due to how the restart played out. A 17-minute red flag to clean up the track and this race was headed to double overtime. </p>



<p>Here’s the thing – Ryan Preece spun out on the backstretch. He even hit the inside wall, but just a little. So, everyone was waiting for a caution flag. It didn’t happen. That is, it didn’thappen until after Larson took the white flag. Preece was unable to get his car moving again. </p>



<p>So, Kyle Larson went on to win under caution. NASCAR wanted the race to end under green, hoping Preece could get going again. But it still felt like one more overtime should have been used here. A win is a win for this 5 team, though. </p>
