Kyle Larson Wins The First NASCAR Cup Playoff Race, And His First Ever At Darlington

It looked like this was a race that had Denny Hamlin written all over it. He signed a nice extension with Joe Gibbs Racing, he started on the front row, won both Stages and he led 177 laps. I mean, you could just write this one early and go to bed, right?
