“Actually Not Racing Much” – Kyle Larson Shares Much Anticipated News Keeping The Hendrick Motorsports Ace Off The Track

Kyle Larson and his enthusiasm for racing are evident from the number of series he loves to participate in. May it be dirt racing or the season’s Cup series, Larson knows his way around them all.

However, this season, it seems like Kyle Larson would be taking a step back. In a recent conversation with Alex Weaver and Mamba Smith, the Hendrick Motorsports driver revealed that he wouldn’t be racing much this off-season.

He explained, “I am not actually racing much. I ran one race at Ventura last week.” Shocked by Larson’s answer Weaver jokingly asked if he had a temperature. To this Larson, smilingly replied, “No, I am about to have another baby. So, that’s gonna take up all the time.”

Although Larson has his third baby right on top of his priority list, it doesn’t mean he would be completely away from the track. Looks like he has a way of getting the best of both worlds. He shared, “But I am gonna run like 6 late model races. It’s all within one week.”

Although Larson did not win the race, he was merely 1.367 seconds behind the winner, Justin Grant. While talking about his on-track performance, Larson said, “I just ran really, really hard there, and knew I was running out of time, so I had to go. I made some pretty crazy and dumb moves, but I got to second and was hoping we could get a caution to get racing with Justin there.”
