Kyle Larson demonstrated his remarkable racing talent Friday night at Homestead-Miami Speedway, recovering from a late-race spin to win the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Baptist Health 200.

Despite spinning out during stage three, Larson methodically worked his way back through the field over the final 39 laps to secure the victory by 1.340 seconds over runner-up Layne Riggs. The win marks Larson’s fourth career Truck Series triumph and his second consecutive start in the series, having previously won at North Wilkesboro Speedway in 2023.

“That was pretty unbelievable,” Larson said after the race. “Wasn’t exactly sure if I could get back up there, didn’t have the restart that I wanted, kinda took a little bit too long to start picking them off, and just got rippin’ the wall.”

Driving the No. 07 truck for Spire Motorsports, Larson led 20 laps after starting from the third position and delivered the first-ever Truck Series win for the No. 07 truck.

Riggs, piloting the No. 34 Front Row Motorsports Ford F-150, put up a strong fight in the closing laps but was overtaken by Larson with just two laps remaining. The second-place finish tied Riggs’ career-best result on an intermediate track.

Pole-sitter Corey Heim dominated much of the race in his No. 11 TRICON Garage Toyota, leading a race-high 78 laps and sweeping both stages. However, a late mechanical issue that caused his truck to repeatedly shut off eliminated his chances for victory.

“Just about 15, 20 to go, everything seemed fine, as far as what I could see,” Heim explained afterward. “The engine would hard cut on me and the dash would go black, I’d have to pull my right hand over and fully recycle the power to get any sort of life back in the motor.”

Tyler Ankrum and Daniel Hemric completed the top five, with Hemric securing his first Truck Series top-five finish since 2016 at Homestead.

The race featured several dramatic moments, including an early incident when Gio Ruggiero spun after contact from Ross Chastain, collecting Ben Rhodes in the process. Though both continued initially, Rhodes eventually retired after 83 laps.

The defining moment came when Larson, battling for the lead with Riggs late in the final stage, made contact and spun out in turn one. This setback forced Larson to restart deep in the field with 39 laps remaining, setting the stage for his impressive comeback.

As the race wound down, Heim’s mechanical issues struck again with just four laps to go, handing the lead to Riggs. Two laps later, Larson completed his remarkable recovery by passing Riggs for the top spot and holding on for the win.

Following the Homestead race, Heim maintains an eight-point lead over Ty Majeski in the Craftsman Truck Series standings.

The series continues next Friday, March 28, with the Boys and Girls Club of the Blue Ridge 200 at Martinsville Speedway, with coverage beginning at 7:30 PM ET on FS1.
