Late Contact Flips Kyle Larson From Lead as Daison Pursley Wins Hangtown 100

Officials deemed the move a racing incident with no penalty.

Overview

  • Kyle Larson dominated most of the 100-lap feature before a slide‑job attempt by Daison Pursley triggered contact and sent Larson flipping with about five laps remaining.
  • Pursley crossed the line first to claim the Hangtown 100, while Larson retired early and was scored 15th.
  • USAC reviewed the late-race collision and ruled it a racing incident, issuing no penalty.
  • Larson climbed out uninjured, offered a sarcastic clap and double thumbs-up toward Pursley, and later said he understood the attempt given the closing entry.
  • Earlier in the program, Corey Day endured a violent flip and walked away, as videos of both incidents spread widely on social media.
