LINCOLN, Ala. -- Kyle Larson scored his first drafting track win in the NASCAR Cup Series at exactly the right time. 

Larson took the white flag in the lead and then fell back to 11th after Austin Hill made a move on him exiting turn two. What looked like the perfect day gone wrong quickly turned right as jockeying up front opened the door for Larson to get back to the front and win.

Larson led four times for 23 of 188 laps and earned a total of 71 points with the win and stage finishes of fourth and second Sunday.

"All my Chevy, GM partners, I gotta thank them for working with me. I definitely felt them and it was the best speedway race I've ever had," Larson said. "Everything just opened up off of four. Unbelievable way to get my first speedway win. I don't think they've ever seen me win in-person before." 

Chevrolet took the top-six finishing positions with Larson, William Byron, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Ross Chastain, Cole Custer and Carson Hocevar. 

Todd Gilliland finished seventh after leading the overtime restart. He finished ahead of Denny Hamlin, who failed to earn stage points with a car that finished the race with damage that prevented him from more readily making moves on his own.

Two more Chevrolet drivers rounded out the top-10: Alex Bowman and Michael McDowell.

Entering Talladega, Larson led Christopher Bell by five points, Chase Briscoe by 24, Hamlin by 31, Ryan Blaney by 40, Joey Logano by 44 and Tyler Reddick by 56.

Everyone but Larson got in a wreck and only Larson and Hamlin actually finished the race.

Chase Briscoe and Joey Logano finished 33rd and 34th after a big wreck on lap 184 that saw Logano flip upside down. 

Christopher Bell finished 35th, 12 laps down, after crashing during on lap 57 during his first pit stop of the race. Tyler Reddick and Ryan Blaney finished 37th and 38th, respectively, after the other multi-car crash -- on lap 132 -- collected them in it.

Larson, Blaney, Briscoe and Logano collected stage points before crashing.

STAGE ONE TOP-10 (LAP 98): Chris Buescher, Ryan Preece, Brad Keselowski, Kyle Larson, William Byron, Riley Herbst, Chase Briscoe, Ryan Blaney, Joey Logano, Austin Cindric.

Buescher, Preece and Keselowski won the stage by over 20 seconds ahead of the rest of the pack.

STAGE TWO TOP-10 (LAP 143): Joey Logano, Kyle Larson, Chase Briscoe, Austin Cindric, William Byron, Chris Buescher, Connor Zilisch, Shane van Gisbergen, Erik Jones, Austin Hill.

However, the crash made the contenders' efforts moot. Entering the day, six drivers were within 56 points of Larson. Now, heading to Martinsville, no one is within that range:
