As the race unfolded and different strategies came and went, Kyle Larson pitted for four tires and fuel on lap 123 under the green flag. After passing the commitment line, the caution flag came out on the same lap, allowing Larson to restart 23rd (but on the lead lap) when the race resumed.
With fresh tires and a full tank of fuel, the 31-year-old driver drove all the way up to third when the caution flag came out with three laps remaining.
Despite a red flag on the first NASCAR Overtime restart, Larson, the Elk Grove, California native, was able to hold off Ryan Blaney to win the Brickyard 400 on the final restart.
