Larson on cusp of third Cup title as Bell and Hamlin trail at Homestead

Kyle Larson is close to winning his third NASCAR Cup Series championship heading into the season finale. Only two other drivers remain mathematically in contention, but the path for either is described as incredibly narrow.

Christopher Bell is second in the standings, 67 points behind Larson, while his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Denny Hamlin is third, 70 points adrift. The final race of the season takes place at Homestead-Miami Speedway, which the source describes as the 36th and final event of the year.
