2021 NASCAR Cup Series® champion Kyle Larson proved he’s up to the task of defending his title by taking the victory in
the second race of the 2022 season, the Wise Power 400 at Auto Club Speedway.
Driving the No. 5 HendrickCars.com Chevrolet Camaro for Hendrick Motorsports, Larson rallied from starting at the rear of the field due to unapproved adjustments pre-race. He worked his way to the lead on lap 167 and held off the pack to the checkered flag. It was Larson’s second career win at the California track and the 17th overall in his career.
