Kyle Larson was already excited about what the weekend at Darlington Raceway would mean, and he added a moment to remember with his first career win at the track.

Larson rallied from 30th, bumping John Hunter Nemechek on the final turn as the two raced to the finish line to win the Xfinity Series race Saturday.

Larson, the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series champion, was named one of stock car racing's 75 greatest drivers who were honored during a celebration at Darlington's annual throwback weekend.

Now, he's got a checkered flag after numerous close calls at Darlington, where he's finished second three times and third twice in 10 career Cup races. He hadn't finished worse than seventh in his five previous Xfinity events at Darlington.

"Every time you get to come to Darlington, it's special," Larson said. But this weekend's festivities are very different. Larson can't wait for brunch before Sunday's Goodyear 400, where 33 of the 75 all-time NASCAR greats will gather.

"You'll get to see legends and Hall of Famers and everybody who's still alive on the 75 list," he said. "I really look forward to that. I think it's going to be a special kind of thing and morning for me that I'll probably never forget."
