The 2025 Food City 500 is finally done and dusted. The ninth race of the season started at 3 pm ET and lasted for two hours, 38 minutes, and 49 seconds at Bristol Motor Speedway, with 39 entries.
This year’s Food City 500 saw four lead changes among four different drivers and witnessed three caution flags.
Who won the NASCAR race today?
Kyle Larson, driving the #5 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports, claimed his second win of the season at Bristol Motor Speedway in a dominant fashion. The win marked his second straight of the week at the track, and it came one day after the Elk Grove, California, native earned the convincing win in the Xfinity Series.
Larson, who started on third, dominated the race, sweeping both stages and 411 of 500 laps to earn his 31st career victory in NASCAR’s top-tier series. The #5 HMS driver emerged victorious when he grabbed the lead for the final time from Ryan Blaney on Lap 440 and never looked back to cross the finish line in P1.
The 32-year-old California native crossed the finish line with a commanding 2.25-second lead over defending winner of the event Denny Hamlin to take the checkered flag.
Hamlin, who was looking to secure his third consecutive Cup victory, finished as runner-up, followed by Ty Gibbs, Chase Briscoe, and Ryan Blaney in the top five. William Byron, Ross Chastain, Christopher Bell, A. J. Allmendinger, and Austin Dillon completed the top 10.
Joey Logano, the defending series champion, finished 24th on Sunday’s Food City 500.
