Kyle Larson is hoping to win the 2021 Cup Series title

Larson has been in the form of his life and recently assumed the championship lead. All this time, Denny Hamlin was the championship leader until the Watkins Glen race. Eventually, Hamlin’s lack of victories came back to bite him where it hurt, and he had to surrender the lead to Larson.

Without a doubt, the Asian-American driver is one of the favorites to win the Cup Series crown. The triumph at Watkins Glen International was his fifth win of the 2021 season and the most crucial one. With three races left in the regular season, Larson is well on his way to getting the advantage ahead of the playoffs.
