KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Kyle Larson enters this weekend at Kansas Speedway with an opportunity to end a winless streak at one of his most successful tracks.
It has been 343 days and 32 races since Larson’s last victory in the NASCAR Cup Series, but Kansas has consistently been one of the venues where he runs at his best. In 22 career starts at the track, Larson has recorded three wins and an average finish of 12.1.
A deeper look at those numbers shows a clear trend — one that favors Larson heading into Sunday.
Historically, his results in the fall race have been more inconsistent, particularly in the Next Gen era. Since 2022, his best fall finish at Kansas is fourth, which came in 2023, and he holds an average finish of 11.0 in those events.
The spring race, however, has told a very different story.
Since the introduction of the Next Gen car in 2022, Larson has not finished worse than second in the spring event at Kansas. He finished second in both 2022 and 2023 before breaking through with back-to-back victories in 2024 and 2025. Across those four races, Larson has two wins and an average finish of 1.5 — among the best stretches by any driver at a single track in recent years.
When combining both spring and fall events in the Next Gen era, Larson holds an average finish of 6.8 at Kansas, further reinforcing his consistency at the 1.5-mile oval.
All of it points to Kansas as a prime opportunity.
With his history at the track and his recent performance in the spring race, Larson enters the weekend as a legitimate contender. And if he can capitalize, it would mark not only a return to Victory Lane — but a fitting one at the same track where his current winless stretch began.
