Kyle Larson held off Tyler Reddick in the Pennzoil 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway to pick up his first victory of the 2024 NASCAR season on Sunday.

The No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports driver won the fall race at Las Vegas last season and gave his team its second victory in the first three races of the season. Reddick, who nearly made the Championship Four last season, just didn’t have enough to catch Larson in the final laps.

Larson celebrated the win with his son, Owen, on the front stretch.

"I knew Tyler was going to be the guy to beat from the first stage," Larson told FOX Sports’ Jamie Little after the race. "He was really fast there. I was hoping those guys were going to get racing a little bit longer because I felt like it was going to timeout where he was running really hard and getting the Toyota to catch me at the end.

"Thankfully, was able to air block him a couple laps and get him tight. … All and all, such a great job by this Hendrick Cars’ Chevy team – just their execution."
