For Camaro fans, Sunday's AdventHealth 400 at the Kansas Speedway wasn't just a race – it was a moment that will forever be etched in history. In a finish so close it took officials a moment to declare a winner, Kyle Larson's Chevrolet Camaro edged out Chris Buescher's Ford by a mere .001 seconds – the closest finish in NASCAR Cup Series history!
Here at CamaroStoreOnline.com, we've been raving all season about the Camaro's dominance. Kansas continued that trend, with Camaros leading for a staggering 126 of the race's 267 laps. But the true story is Larson's driving talent. Larson's historic victory was a clinic in both patience and precision. After stalking Buescher's rear bumper for most of the closing stage, Larson seized his moment on the final turn, with a bonzai move to the outside, his Camaro mere inches from disaster.
