Ar y lap olaf sy'n dod allan o Turn 4 o'r ffwrn .4 milltir, cysylltodd Larson â Falk, arweinydd y ras, a phweru i'r fuddugoliaeth.
"Dyma'r ras gyntaf i mi ei wneud erioed yn y modd hwnnw, ond roedd hon yn ras eithaf mawr," meddai Larson. "Roeddwn i eisiau ei ennill. Dyma'r lap olaf. Mae'n rhaid i chi arafu cymaint yng nghanol y gornel, cefais fy rhedeg arno a mynd i mewn i'w gefn. Fe es i oddi tano ac yna ei gael o gwmpas. Rwy'n teimlo'n ddrwg iddo, ond fel y dywedais, roeddwn i eisiau ennill."
Gorffennodd Ben Rhodes, a arweiniodd 87 o gornchwiglod hiliol uchel, yn ail tra bod Falk wedi cofrestru i orffen yn drydydd. Gorffennodd Anthony Anders a Deac McCaskill yn bedwerydd ac yn bumed yn y drefn honno.
Roedd Falk yn siomedig gyda throad digwyddiadau ar ôl arwain 61 o gornchwiglod.
"Ceisiais ddiogelu'r gwaelod gystal ag y gallwn," meddai Falk am y lap olaf. "Fe'm cefais unwaith ac roeddwn i'n meddwl fy mod i'n mynd i fod yn iawn, ond roeddwn i'n troelli olwynion drwy'r amser. Yn olaf, mae newydd ein gorffen. Mae gen i nodiadau gwych ar gyfer y flwyddyn nesaf i fynd i geisio ennill y peth hwn."
Cwblhaodd Matt Bowling, pencampwr cenedlaethol Cyfres Whelen All-Americanaidd 2012 Lee Pulliam, Dalton Zehr, Brandon Rogers a Garrett Campbell y 10 uchaf.
Yn gynharach yn y dydd, enillodd Rhodes a Larson y ddwy ras wres gymhwysol ac yn rhinwedd tost coin enillodd Rhodes safle'r pole ar gyfer y ras.

Larson Charges To Late Model Battle Win
Pass Of Falk In Final Turn Provides The Difference

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Kyle Larson continued his siege on NASCAR by winning the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Late Model portion of the inaugural UNOH Battle At The Beach on Monday evening at Daytona International Speedway.
The reigning NASCAR K&N Pro Series East champion out of Elk Grove, Calif., swapped the lead with C.E. Falk three times over the final 10 laps after starting the race from the second position. On the final lap coming out of Turn 4 of the .4-mile oval Larson made contact with Falk, the race leader, and powered to the victory.
“It’s the first race I’ve ever one in that manner, but this was a pretty big race,” Larson said. “I wanted to win it. It’s the last lap. You have to slow down so much in the center of the corner, I got run on him and got into the back of him. I got underneath him and then got him around. I feel bad for him, but like I said, I wanted to win.”
Ben Rhodes, who led a race-high 87 laps, finished second while Falk regrouped to finish third. Anthony Anders and Deac McCaskill finished fourth and fifth respectively.
Falk was disappointed with the turn of events after leading 61 laps.
“I just tried to protect the bottom as best I could,” Falk said of the last lap. “He got me once and I thought I was going to be OK, but I was wheel-spinning the whole time. Finally, he just finished us off. I’ve got some great notes for next year to go and try and win this thing.”
Matt Bowling, 2012 Whelen All-American Series national champion Lee Pulliam, Dalton Zehr, Brandon Rogers and Garrett Campbell completed the top 10.
Earlier in the day, Rhodes and Larson won the two qualifying heat races and by virtue of a coin toss Rhodes earned the pole position for the race. Larson is competing in all three series – Whelen All-American Series, NASCAR K&N Pro Series and NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour – over the two-day event.
Additionally, the K&N Pro Series and Whelen Modified Tour held practice sessions. Greg Pursley led the way for the K&N Pro Series while Larson paced the field for the Whelen Modifieds. Both those series will be back on the track for a pair of practice sessions on Tuesday before their respective qualifying heat races. The Whelen Modified Tour feature race is set for 7:15 p.m. ET followed by the K&N Pro Series main event at approximately 8:30 p.m.
SPEED and MRN will carry the action beginning at 7 p.m. and NASCARHomeTracks.com will have supplemental coverage throughout the day. The MRN coverage will also be picked up by SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, channel 90.
