#5-Kyle Larson won the Enjoy Illinois 300 NASCAR Cup Series race at World Wide Technology Raceway. The win is his first win of the year, first at World Wide Technology and 33rd career win.
#48-Alex Bowman finished 2nd followed by pole winner #22-Joey Logano, #24-William Byron, #1-Ross Chastain, #3-Austin Dillon, #88-Connor Zilisch, #77-Carson Hocevar, #11-Denny Hamlin, and #2-Austin Cindric.
The race turned into a war of attrition, with a track-record 18 cautions for 87 laps and two late red flags for track cleanup. The race went to overtime twice before Larson took the checkered flag. He led 80 laps, including the final 13, second only to Logano for most laps led.
The victory ended a lengthy winless streak for Larson, whose previous Cup Series win came at Kansas Speedway in the spring of 2025.
Stage 1 was won by #22-Joey Logano. Stage 2 was won by #5-Kyle Larson. Logano also earned the bonus point for the fastest lap.
There were 11 lead changes among five drivers. The 18 cautions were the most ever in a Cup Series race at World Wide Technology Raceway and the most in any Cup Series race this season. The race took 3 hours, 47 minutes, and 23 seconds to complete.
The average speed of the race was: 81.470mph.
