Fans reacted to Larson’s second victory in a month with excitement across social media, praising his dominance at Bristol:

Hamlin followed up back-to-back NASCAR Cup Series wins at Martinsville and Homestead-Miami with a second-place finish on Sunday, vaulting into second in the standings. He now sits 30 points behind leader William Byron. Christopher Bell, who finished eighth, dropped to third—11 points behind Hamlin. Larson climbed two spots to fourth, just one point back of Bell.

Larson dominated Sunday’s race, leading an impressive 411 laps. He clocked his fastest lap at 15.39 seconds on lap 85 and took the lead on lap 40 under green flag conditions after starting in third.

Larson’s dominant showing pushed him into the top 10 for most career laps led at Bristol. After leading most of the way, he briefly gave up the top spot following a pit stop on lap 389, allowing Ryan Blaney to take the lead. But Larson reclaimed it on lap 433 and held firm the rest of the way.  

The NASCAR Cup Series returns April 27 at the Jack Link’s 500 at Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama.
