Wins 2021 NASCAR Championship By virtue of winning the Season Finale 500 NASCAR Cup Series race at Phoenix Raceway Sunday afternoon, Larson was declared the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series champion. Impact Despite leading a race-high 107 laps, Larson would have to rally late in this championship race. The Hendrick Motorsports star would pit during the final caution and the No. 5 team would get Larson out fast and back into the lead. He would hold off the challengers over the final 24 laps and capture the victory, his 10th of the season. Larson was declared this season's champion as a result, for his first NASCAR Cup Series title.
