CONCORD, N.C. - Kyle Larson's win certainly gave Hendrick Motorsports plenty to cheer about at the Charlotte ROVAL on Sunday.
While Larson took home a trophy, it was a banner day for all as William Byron, Chase Elliott and Alex Bowman also advanced to the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs Round of 8.
Thanks to solid performances at Kansas Speedway and Talladega Superspeedway, Byron had already locked up his spot. Elliott finished fifth Sunday and Bowman came home 18th, which was plenty to send both through the Round of 12.
Here's a look at the final Round of 12 standings and how they'll begin the Round of 8 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway next week.
