In the history of NASCAR, there are a certain few driving talents that come to define a generation and whose accomplishments can stand the test of time. Years from now, people will still be talking about the way Kyle Larson dominated the 2024 Night Race at Bristol, just as they talked about another legend in the aftermath of Saturday night.

Kyle Larson enters the second round of the NASCAR Cup playoffs at Kansas Speedway fresh off a career performance in the Bass Pro Shops Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway.

Kyle Larson’s victory last weekend at Bristol vaulted him into the No. 1 spot in the NBC Sports NASCAR Power Rankings. This week’s top 10 also has three new drivers in it. Next for the series is Sunday’s race at Kansas Speedway (3 p.m. ET on USA Network). It is the opening race of the second round of the Cup playoffs.
