Hailie Deegan wins at Kern!
The No. 16 was the leader at the time of the red flag for rain, giving Deegan her second win of the year.
Way to go @Carson_Kvapil 🏁🏁 @J_Allgaier back out in the championship lead for @JRMotorsports Great race all the way around!
Love seeing the NASCAR community come together for great things. Way to go @TeamHendrick @KyleLarsonRacin and @Alex_Bowman
Welp, so many people will still be pissed off. Losing a race over an inch would be dumb anyway. He deserved that win and got it done!
Two things from NASCAR:
1. They looked at the SMT data and Stenhouse, Byron and Custer were all wide open from Turn 3 to the end of the race (none of them lifted to let Larson win, in other words)
2. They say Larson's left-side tires were on the yellow line but never below the yellow line. So they reviewed that and say it's legal.
A lot of crazy allegations going on now about the end of the race. It's a product of the racing, and teams are going to make the best of it they can. A lot of sore losers showing their hands today. Sad

All 5 cars have now won. With a combined 16 wins on the year. 7 different drivers.
Damn i love this team. @JRMotorsports @DaleJr @EarnhardtKelley
I mean, I watched it but half against my own will. Such a boring race which I’m sure contributes to it as well.
.@USANetwork got a 0.72 rating and 1.294 million viewers for Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series Freeway Insurance 500 @PhoenixRaceway.
➡️ There's no direct comp to last year since Phoenix was the 2025 championship, but the 33rd points race last year (Vegas) got a 0.84 + 1.7 million.
