Kyle Larson continued to showcase his mastery at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway where, on July 21, 2025, he secured his third Brickyard 400 title and his second consecutive one. Larson's dominating victory also earned him a spot in the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs, further enriching his illustrious career. Larson led a remarkable 78 laps and ultimately won the 160-lap race and held off a charging Ryan Blaney, who finished second. Joey Logano completed the podium in third. Larson became the first driver to achieve back-to-back Brickyard 400 wins since Jimmie Johnson did it in 2012-2013. The race continued to showcase impressive competition as Larson's presence at the front did not hinder other drivers from competing; there were 16 lead changes among nine drivers. With his consistent finishes on both the road courses and ovals, Larson is likely a strong contender for the upcoming playoff season. Other notable drivers such as Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch also had strong showings throughout the event. Larson has further cemented himself as one of the sport's elite drivers, and he continues to shine on difficult ovals like Indianapolis.
