Welp, so many people will still be pissed off. Losing a race over an inch would be dumb anyway. He deserved that win and got it done!
Two things from NASCAR:
1. They looked at the SMT data and Stenhouse, Byron and Custer were all wide open from Turn 3 to the end of the race (none of them lifted to let Larson win, in other words)
2. They say Larson's left-side tires were on the yellow line but never below the yellow line. So they reviewed that and say it's legal.
A lot of crazy allegations going on now about the end of the race. It's a product of the racing, and teams are going to make the best of it they can. A lot of sore losers showing their hands today. Sad

All 5 cars have now won. With a combined 16 wins on the year. 7 different drivers.
Damn i love this team. @JRMotorsports @DaleJr @EarnhardtKelley
I mean, I watched it but half against my own will. Such a boring race which I’m sure contributes to it as well.
.@USANetwork got a 0.72 rating and 1.294 million viewers for Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series Freeway Insurance 500 @PhoenixRaceway.
➡️ There's no direct comp to last year since Phoenix was the 2025 championship, but the 33rd points race last year (Vegas) got a 0.84 + 1.7 million.
Another chase race down, and the @Hendrick5Team extends the point lead once again! Way to to @KyleLarsonRacin
That crash was brutal, very happy Bubba got out and walking on his own. As a fan of both, that sucks so damn bad man!
This aged well @Yankees
It was an epic day, and I have so many memories that will last a lifetime! Thanks again to Dale, Kelley, Travis, Mike and of course Jenni from @tdjf who made it all happen!
