Meanwhile, for Larson, he earned a million dollars for the victory in the All-Star race. It was the third time he had won the NASCAR event. He led Bubba Wallace by more than 4.5 seconds and Tyler Reddick by more than 6.7 seconds.

«We had a great car going through the long runs and I was thinking there was going to be a caution for sure,» said Larson, who also won the Truck Series race on Saturday. «I got to a big lead and I could see everyone’s cars were driving like crap in front of me.»
Wallace doffed his hat to Larson.
«Larson was off, so congratulations to him,» Wallace said. «They’ve been hitting heads all season, so running second behind them isn’t a bad thing. But running second in the All-Star race sucks because you go home with nothing.»
