With seven laps remaining, race leader Bowman scraped the wall in Turn 4, allowing Larson to pass on the inside and cruise to a 1.2-second victory. Bowman, who started from pole and led 43 laps, finished second, followed by Bubba Wallace in third.
The race featured 27 lead changes among nine drivers, with Ryan Blaney dominating early by leading 124 laps and winning the first stage before his engine failure. Denny Hamlin claimed the second stage and finished fifth, while Chase Briscoe secured fourth place.
Notable incidents included a pit road spin involving Joey Logano and Josh Berry, and Christopher Bell's lap 70 caution. William Byron maintained his points lead despite finishing 12th.
"It was far from perfect," Larson said post-race. "I just kind of had to keep plugging away at what I know and what's good for me. This is one of the coolest wins in my Cup career because of the heartbreak I've had here."
