Kyle Larson beats Chris Buescher at Kansas in closest finish in NASCAR history

Kyle Larson beat Chris Buescher in the closest finish in NASCAR history on Sunday night at Kansas.

Larson got alongside Buescher in Turns 3 and 4 on the final lap after a green-white-checker restart and somehow snuck past Buescher at the finish line as Chase Elliott and Martin Truex Jr. tried to join the party.

The finish was so close that the scoring monitors showed that Buescher won the race. Officially, Larson won the race by 0.001 seconds.
