Wins list: Kyle Larson ties two-time champ for 34th all-time
Kyle Larson’s photo-finish victory Sunday in the Advent Health 400 gave the Hendrick Motorsports driver his second NASCAR Cup Series win of 2024 and the 25h of his career.
The win now ties Larson with Jim Paschal and two-time series champion Joe Weatherly for 34th overall.
“I think there’s definitely wins that you can kind of get lost in the distance a little bit, but when you finish and have the closest, to this point, finish in Cup Series history, I don’t think you’re ever going to forget about it, even if it gets broken some day,” Larson said.
“Yeah, just great to be on this side of it. I probably would still remember it, though, if I ran second.”
Ahead of the tied trio on the wins list are Dale Earnhardt Jr. (26), Fred Lorenzon (26), Carl Edwards (28), and Rex White (28).
Among active drivers, Larson has the seventh-most wins behind Joey Logano (32), Brad Keselowski (34), Martin Truex Jr. (34), Denny Hamlin (54), Kyle Busch (63), and Jimmie Johnson (83).
