The Briscoe Chase swept the show at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Sunday, but Kyle Larson left with the biggest advantage of all: the NASCAR Cup Series championship lead.
Briscoe delivered one of the greatest finishes of his 2026 youth, holding off Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Christopher Bell by just 0.029 seconds to win the Bank of America 400.

The victory sent Briscoe climbing two spots in the Chase standings and gave him a much-needed boost with just four races remaining.
Larson, meanwhile, didn’t need another trip to Victoria Lane to contain the picture of the ball.
The Hendrick Motorsports driver finished sixth after leading the pack for a record 97 laps and winning Stage 1. He now holds a 49-point advantage over Denny Hamlin, with Bell trailing just two points behind Hamlin.
But Charlotte was not nearly as kind to everyone. Joey Logano lost ground despite a top-10 finish, as early morning crashes dealt major blows to Bubba Wallace, William Byron and Ty Gibbs.
