Kyle Larson Pulls Off Seemingly Unreal Feat for His Love of Racing Racing, Thanks in Part to Hendrick Motorsports
As if being a racecar driver wasn’t hard enough already, Kyle Larson has taken the idea to a whole new level. The Hendrick driver is notorious for the number of races he takes part in a year.
While most drivers take the off days to relax and recharge their batteries, Larson takes the time to race, race, and then race some more.
Just take a look at the most recent weekend that went behind us. In that weekend, the defending NASCAR champion was set to run in the Cup Series race in Phoenix on Sunday.
But then, he decided to also take part in the World of Outlaws race in his home state of California on Saturday.
On Friday afternoon, Larson landed in Tulare and finished third in the feature race. He then flew back to Phoenix on the same night.
On Saturday, he drove his No.5 Camaro to fifth place in qualifying in Phoenix at 12:15 pm, then flew back to Phoenix to take part in the dirt race in Tulare. In the evening, Larson won the dirt race, his 25th World of Outlaws win at 10:00 pm, which he quickly followed by flying back to Phoenix.
On Sunday, the Hendrick driver started in the Cup Race at 12:30 pm.

Kyle Larson thanked the people who made his weekend possible
Of course, none of this would’ve been possible without incredible planning and management (and resources).
After winning the race in Tulare, Larson thanked the individuals who made his weekend possible.
“This is amazing. I owe a huge thank you to Jason Finley, Kevin Kozlowski, Paul Silva, Cliff Daniels, a lot of people who made this weekend happen,” he said.

Jason Finley provided the plane, Kevin Kozlowski provided the Sprint Car, Paul Silva gave the wrench, and Cliff Daniels gave the all-important green flag to Kyle Larson to take part on what really looks like a plot for an energy drink commercial.
