Kyle Larson spent the week watching videos of his 10-win, 2021 championship season, he said, "to remind myself that I used to be good."

He still is. Larson pulled away on a restart with 14 laps to go and easily won the NASCAR Cup Series race at Richmond Raceway on Sunday.

"I just really wanted to look at old tape of myself and see where my mindset was and to see my confidence," Larson said after his 20th career victory in NASCAR's top series.

Larson started the final green flag run with Hendrick Motorsports teammate Josh Berry to his outside and beat Berry into the first turn. Berry, who is filling in for the injured Chase Elliott, held on for second, followed by Ross Chastain, Christopher Bell and Kevin Harvick.

It's the third victory of the season for the four-car Hendrick team and came less than a week after a 100-point penalty against each driver for using an illegal part was overturned by a NASCAR appeals panel. It also came with a fill-in crew chief in Kevin Meendering because the appeals panel upheld the four-race suspensions of all four team crew chiefs.

"I was just happy to fill a gap and help those guys out in a tough situation," Meendering said. "This is a testament to all the hard work but those guys on that team and to Hendrick Motorsports,"

Chevrolet took the top three spots and has now won five of the seven races this season.

All the Hendrick cars except for Berry ran in contention all race,
