Kyle Larson is one of the more recognizable figures in the NASCAR Cup Series. Larson drives the No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet and won a NASCAR championship in his first season with the team (2021). He formerly drover for Chip Ganassi Racing (2014-20).

Kyle Larson was equally happy and sad Sunday at Phoenix. He was elated to score a comeback second championship, but sad it came at the expense of Denny Hamlin.

The Cup Series Championship Race is scheduled to start at 3 p.m. ET on Sunday, Nov. 2 at Phoenix Raceway in Phoenix. The Cup Series Championship Race will be broadcast on NBC, the home of the final round of the Cup Series playoffs. Pre-race coverage will start at 2 p.m. ET.

Can Denny Hamlin get over the hump and win a championship? Will we see a different first-time champ crowned in Chase Briscoe or William Byron? What are Kyle Larson's chances of adding another title to his name?
