Kyle Larson has already clinched his place in NASCAR’s Cook Out Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium—before even turning a lap! Thanks to his 2025 championship win, Larson is locked into the main event no matter what happens in the heat races or Last Chance Qualifier. If he qualifies the usual way, the next-highest driver in last year’s standings gets the automatic spot, and so on. This twist means the pressure’s off for Larson, but could shake up the field for everyone else. What do you think—does this points-based lock-in add excitement or take away from the drama? #Sports #Racing #NASCAR
