An Interview with:

Q. Kyle, what an unbelievable restart. Was it the bracelet the kids gave you before the race?

KYLE LARSON: I guess. We did the best job we could. That's the bracelet Owen made me. Honestly, I can't believe it. Like, we didn't lead a lap today. Somehow won the championship.

I mean, really, I'm just speechless. I can't believe it. We had an average car at best. We had the right front go down, lost a lap. Got saved by the caution. Did the wave-around. Was really bad that run. We took two tires. I was like, Oh, God, here we go. We're going to go to the back now.

It had a lot more grip than I anticipated. We got lucky with the final caution. I was really hoping we were going to take two again. I felt like I learned a lot on that restart, bombing one and two really hard. Thought I could do the same thing if we got another one.

Just unbelievable. What a year by this Hendrick Motorsports. Cliff Daniels, everybody, his leadership, his complete leadership just showed that whole race. Keeping us all motivated. Always having a plan. All of that. That's just the story of our season.

Again, just unbelievable. I cannot believe it. This is insane.
