Instant classic! Stop what you're doing and watch Kyle Larson's final lap at Talladega. #NASCAR

Austin Hill pulls out from behind Kyle Larson, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. surges ahead, and the driver who led onto the final lap suddenly has traffic to negotiate. Larson's first Talladega victory takes a considerable detour before the finish line.

NASCAR on FOX's Short follows that whole reversal: Hill's repeated pushes, his move to the inside and the contact that keeps rearranging the pack. Stenhouse gets clear, but coming through the final turn, Larson and William Byron charge forward. Larson edges ahead in the scramble to the line, then celebrates with burnout donuts.

FOX describes it as his first career victory at a drafting track, where running close behind other cars helps drivers build the momentum for a pass. Here, losing the lead does not mean losing the opportunity.

The clip drew about 55,000 views in its first day, more than eleven times the channel's usual Shorts start. The conversation grew even more sharply. Viewers compare Larson's recovery to Dale Earnhardt's superspeedway finishes, joke about him studying old race footage and give his spotter credit. Others describe watching the winning move while flying home or cheering for a favorite driver at their home track.

FOX's Talladega coverage also includes an unusually fast-starting clip of Joey Logano sliding on his roof during a multi-car crash. Its follow-up turns back to Larson, with Bob Pockrass posing the championship question in his title: "Should they start engraving Kyle Larson's Cup trophy now?"
