Kyle Larson's victory at the Brickyard 400 has sparked controversy within the NASCAR community. The race, which saw multiple cautions and a dramatic double overtime, ended with Larson clinching the win after NASCAR officials delayed the caution flag following a spin by Ryan Preece. Ryan Blaney, who finished third, expressed frustration, feeling disadvantaged by Brad Keselowski's fuel issues and Larson's subsequent advantageous position on the restart. NASCAR's Senior VP of Competition, Elton Sawyer, defended the decision, emphasizing their goal to finish races under green when possible. Despite criticism from drivers like Denny Hamlin and fans questioning NASCAR's judgment, Larson's team was praised for their strategic fuel management.
