Eleven races have taken place in the 2023 NASCAR Xfinity Series season so far, and Kaulig Racing driver Kyle Larson became the eighth different winner of the season after winning Saturday’s Shriners Children’s 200 at Darlington Raceway.

In the fierce battle on the final lap, Larson bounced off the wall at the final turn and hit John Hunter Nemechek and stayed out front to cross the checkered flag in P1.

That was fun! Let’s do it again tomorrow. Thanks for the ride @KauligRacing https://t.co/u7DUsMhnj5
