There were plenty of unknowns leading into Sunday’s Food City 500 at Bristol<\/a>. One thing was for sure: the 500-lap race was bound to be interesting. It certainly was for Kyle Larson. The Hendrick Motorsports driver completely outclassed everyone in the field en route to his second win of the season and 31st of his Cup career.<\/p>\n

Larson has certainly turned Bristol Motor Speedway into his playground. Not to mention, he has won the last two races at the Last Great Coliseum<\/a> while also leading over 400 laps in both wins. What he has done is simply incredible. Especially when many thought this race was going to see plenty of tire wear. That just wasn’t the case, as Larson was too much for the rest of the field.<\/p>\n

The Food City 500 got off to a fast-paced start with Alex Bowman on the pole, with Ricky Stenhouse alongside. The pace was so quick that FOX’s commentators still had no idea what was going to happen. Many thought that, like last spring’s race, the tires were going to wear out after about 40 laps. That was the theme in practice on Saturday. Boy, was that prediction wrong.<\/p>\n
