In an attempt to support his earlier statement about the Xfinity Series, Kyle Larson pointed at Ty Gibbs as an example.

Alex Bowman on Saturday won the pole position for Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series race at Bristol. The Hendrick Motorsports driver chasing his first victory of the season finished on top after a tightly contested qualifying session, edging Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Kyle Larson, Denny Hamlin and Ryan Blaney for his career-best second pole this year.

As Larson pointed out, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver has yet to win in 96 races in the series. He does have 13 top-five finishes, including his most recent result at Bristol where he finished third for his best finish of the 2025 campaign. Larson and Gibbs are off this week and return to Cup Series action on April 27 at Talladega.
