Kyle Larson Wins Big but Feels Denny Hamlin’s Pain

“It does feel a bit awkward,” said Larson after beating Hamlin for his second Cup title at Phoenix. Hamlin dominated the race, leading 208 laps, but lost on the final restart after differing tire calls from their respective teams. “He’s a friend. I was gonna be happy for him,” Larson added, admitting empathy for Hamlin’s near-miss amid his own celebration.
