Kyle Larson Wins At Rockingham, Georgia Drivers Finish Well

ROCKINGHAM, N.C. (AP) – Kyle Larson picked up his first NASCAR national series win by holding off Joey Logano on the final restart of the Truck Series race at Rockingham Speedway.

Logano was closing in on Larson when a collision between Timothy Peters and Ryan Sieg brought out the caution with two laps remaining.

Logano had fresher tires and Larson was thought to be a sitting duck for the green-white-checkered restart. Instead, Logano misjudged Larson’s start and Larson drove away to the win after leading 187 laps.

Logano was second after flying to the race from Saturday’s night’s fifth-place finish at Texas.

Brendan Gaughan was third and was followed by Johnny Sauter.

NASCAR asked to see Ron Hornaday Jr.  after the race to discuss his wrecking Darrell Wallace Jr. under caution.

Dawsonville’s Chase Elliott led Georgia drivers with a 5th place finish. Watkinsville’s John Wes Townley came in 11th and Milner’s Max Gresham was 16th.
