Kyle Larson’s pursuit of a weekend sweep at Homestead-Miami Speedway — a record only achieved by Kyle Busch — came to an abrupt end after a late-race incident with Sam Mayer during the Xfinity Series event. The wreck, which happened as the two drivers battled for the lead, sent both cars spinning and ended Larson’s shot at the elusive weekend sweep.
While Larson bounced back to win the Cup Series race, the crash the day prior kept Busch’s staggering NASCAR record untouched for now. The incident showed just how tough it is to win in multiple series on the same weekend. Even one small mistake or racing moment can derail the whole thing.
Kyle Busch: The King of the Weekend Sweep
Larson’s attempt takes on even more meaning when you consider what Busch has pulled off. He’s the only NASCAR driver to win a triple-header weekend sweep — winning Truck Series, Xfinity Series, and Cup Series races in the same weekend — according to NASCAR on NBC. What’s wild is he’s done it twice: once in 2010 and again in 2017. Busch did it both times at Bristol Motor Speedway.

The rarity of that achievement to sweep all three races says a lot about how hard it is. Drivers deal with different car setups, changing track conditions, and several days of intense competition.
When Larson and Mayer tangled while fighting for position, it was a clear reminder of how fast a great run can turn into a DNF in this sport. Despite the setback in the Xfinity race, Larson’s strong win at the Straight Talk Wireless 400 showed why he’s one of the few drivers people believe could someday challenge Busch’s record.
Coming back from the Saturday wreck to take the Cup Series win a day later showed the endurance and focus that make Larson a real force on NASCAR’s biggest tracks.
For now, Busch’s record stays safe. His unique accomplishment shows just how skilled and steady he’s been across all three of NASCAR’s top national series.
As drivers like Larson keep chasing the weekend sweep, Busch’s feat stands as a reminder of how hard it is to pull off a perfect weekend — and why his record of two triple-header sweeps is still part of NASCAR history.
