Finally, Kyle Larson made history, earning his first victory of the 2026 Cup Series season<\/a> as he went to victory lane in Sunday\u2019s Enjoy Illinois 300 at World Wide Technology Raceway. The driver of the No. 5 held off Hendrick Motorsports teammate Alex Bowman and Team Penske driver Joey Logano to claim his seventh win of the season.<\/p>\n

The win was Larson\u2019s 33rd career Cup Series win and first at WWT Raceway.<\/p>\n

There were major setbacks for multiple Chase drivers during Sunday\u2019s Enjoy Illinois 300.<\/p>\n

Ryan Blaney suffered a DNF, a 35th-place result, after experiencing a massive brake failure in the final stage of the race. The driver of the No. 12 held two stage points after finishing fourth in both stages.<\/p>\n

Chase drivers Chase Elliott and Chase Briceoe also ran into trouble at WWT Raceway. With under 30 laps remaining, Elliott also suffered a brake failure heading into the first turn as his No. 9 Chevrolet was hit by Briscoe\u2019s No. 19 Toyota, resulting in both drivers crashing into the outside wall.<\/p>\n

Christopher Bell, Tyler Reddick and Bubba Wallace also crashed with 17 laps remaining after Wallace moved three-wide underneath Bell and non-Chase driver Josh Berry. The incident also collected Reddick, who flew momentarily through the air during the wreck.<\/p>\n

Gibbs\u2019 late-spin resulted in the new red flag of the race with 11 laps to go, collecting driver AJ Allmendinger after spinning down the backstretch after the resulting restart.<\/p>\n

Chris Buescher also brought out the new red flag when he experienced a brake failure with under five laps remaining.<\/p>\n

The top non-Chase driver finishing in the Enjoy Illinois 300 was Alex Bowman in second. It was Bowman\u2019s best finish since a second-place result at Echo Park Speedway in July 2025.<\/p>\n

Connor Zilisch also recorded his second-best career finish of seventh when he earned his third top-10 finish of his Cup Series rookie season. The 19-year-old was announced as the future driver of the No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet in 2028 on Wednesday, with the now-retired Bowman set to leave the No. 48 after the 2027 season.<\/p>\n
