LAS VEGAS (AP) — Alex Bowman beat NASCAR champion Kyle Larson in a door-to-door overtime battle at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

The win was the 282nd and second straight for Rick Hendrick, the winningest car owner in NASCAR history.

Bowman got a shot at the win when a caution with three laps remaining shifted the race from a pair of Joe Gibbs Racing cars to the Hendrick teammates. Las Vegas native Kyle Busch and teammate Martin Truex were in a lap-by-lap chess match for the win until the 12th caution ended the stirring duel.

Ross Chastain was third, followed by Busch and William Byron.
