KNOXVILLE, IA (August 9, 2026) – For the second time in his storied career Kyle Larson won the feature event during the Avanti Windows and Doors Capitani Classic presented by Great Southern Bank.
After racing with the NASCAR Cup Series at nearby Iowa Speedway, Larson was able to run down David Gravel through slower traffic and take the lead on lap 17 and held off Rico Abreu after a late race restart for the victory.
Gravel led the 16 laps from the pole position until Larson caught him in slower traffic and drove by him for the lead. On lap 22 Rico Abreu dropped Gravel back to the second position and was setting out after Larson for the lead when a red flag came out for Buddy Kofoid getting upside down along with Tyler Courtney and Kaleb Johnson involved in the incident. All drivers walked away from the crash but were unable to continue.
After the red flag Larson was never seriously challenged, building up a .0743 second advantage over Abreu and Gravel at the finish. Aaron Reutzel and Austin McCarl rounded out the top five.
