Kyle Larson wins in the Xfinity Series at Texas, while filling in for Connor Zilisch

 Kyle Larson secured an impressive victory in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. The Hendrick Motorsports driver was at the front for 32 laps throughout the race, including the crucial final lap.

Kyle Larson has competed in the NASCAR Xfinity Series three times this season and has won twice. He should have won all three races. If not for the finish at Homestead-Miami involving Sam Mayer, he would have secured all three victories.

Regarding Mayer, he was in the lead during overtime, with Larson on his outside. As they exited the restart zone and entered Turn 1, Taylor Gray gave Mayer more than just a push. This caused Mayer's car to wiggle, get loose, and slow down, leading to the outcome we saw.

"I appreciate JRM for allowing me to race here today. Of course, I wish Connor could have been in the car, but it means a lot that they considered me to step in and race," Larson said following the victory.

JR Motorsports needed someone to step in and maintain the 88 team's position in the owners' points. Although Zilisch will drop in the drivers' standings, this team doesn't have to suffer. Despite these races being somewhat messy, we have at least witnessed drivers being challenged throughout the race and actual overtakes occurring.

On the other hand, passing is generally easier in the Xfinity and Truck series. Therefore, we will wait to see the outcome of tomorrow's Cup Series race. Kyle Larson aims to complete the weekend with another victory.
