Wow. What a finish!
With a chance to clinch a Championship 4 berth on the line, there was a lot at stake for both Kyle Larson and Christopher Bell in the closing laps of Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series South Point 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
While Larson, who led a race-high 133 laps, looked to have an insurmountable lead with roughly 10 laps remaining in the race, Bell clawed his way back into contention, and found himself under a half second behind Larson with a couple of laps remaining.
From there, Bell found speed in the high lane, and gave it his all to chase down Larson for the win… In the end, the two would be separated by just 0.082 sec. at the finish line.
Here is a video of the incredible finish at Las Vegas:

It was oh-so-close, but Larson held on over Bell to lock his place into the Championship 4 at Phoenix Raceway.
