NCTS Race Recap: Kyle Larson Starts His Bid At A Miami Sweep With A Thrilling Truck Series Victory

By Holly Cain, NASCAR Wire Service

HOMESTEAD, Fla. – Kyle Larson made a dramatic run to the checkered flag, rallying from a late-race spinout to methodically race back through the field and pass the night’s most dominant trucks in the final 10 laps to claim victory in Friday’s Baptist Health 200 at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
