Last weekend at the Charlotte Roval, Stewart-Haas Racing came under the scanner. This was because, Chase Briscoe suddenly gained a couple of spots at the chicane. Apparently, his teammate Cole Custer appeared to brake-check many drivers, and he took advantage of the sudden stoppage. Unfortunately, NASCAR smelt a rat and felt that SHR tried to use team orders to aid Briscoe. Now, the #14 driver has said [https://twitter.com/bobpockrass/status/1581353729864998921?s=46&t=8ZYff_2CwPYL_MRMjmdFyg], “I don’t feel like I’m in any controversy. For me, I’m just trying to figure out what I got to do to move on to Phoenix. I felt like everything that happened Sunday, was out of my control. I was trying to make up Playoff spots and we were in, regardless. Even if we go back to the caution before that. Six to go, we were in by at least six or seven points. Just trying to figure out what we need to do to move on to Phoenix.” READ MORE: Chase Briscoe Shares Infamous Michael Jordan Meme to Take a Dig at Dale Earnhardt Jr & Hendrick Motorsports Legend’s Playoff Prediction [https://www.essentiallysports.com/chase-briscoe-shares-infamous-michael-jordan-meme-to-take-a-dig-at-dale-earnhardt-jr-hendrick-motorsports-legends-playoff-prediction/] CHASE BRISCOE SNEAKING INTO THE PLAYOFFS, ENDED KYLE LARSON’S HOPES Speaking ahead of the Cup race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, the #14 driver defended himself. From his perspective, he braked so late that it felt like his opponents were slowing down. As a result, he got the impression that the pack were backing off in order to make it into the tight chicane.

Mandatory Credit: Randy Sartin-USA TODAY Sportsa As per his observation, the #8 Richard Childress Racing car of Tyler Reddick was 20 car lengths ahead of Custer. Meanwhile, he was around 10 car lengths behind his teammate, all on the straight. So when everyone stamped on the brakes, they concertinaed up in such a way that he was four car lengths off of Reddick. In essence, Chase Briscoe was simply trying to focus on his own Playoff hopes. In hindsight, he should have known that even without the last gasp move, he was in with a chance. Otherwise, he would not have tried to go for the ‘Hail Mary’.

The United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina revamped it under Chapter 10 of the Bankruptcy Act.

A board of significant investors in the speedway was gathered. It was headed by A. C. Goines and furniture storekeeper Richard Howard. Goines, Howard then attempted to get money to keep the speedway running.

By April 1963, $750,000 was paid to the lenders, and the track was running again. Goines was selected as the president of the speedway and Howard was the senior supervisor of the speedway. He was appointed to take care of its everyday activities.

In 1992, a $1.7 million, 1,200-fixture permanent lighting system around the track was created. It was done by Musco lighting.

The track was the first superspeedway to host evening racing. It was the biggest speedway with lights until 1998 when lights were introduced around the 2.5 miles (4.0 km) Daytona International Speedway.

Another $1 million, 20,000 square feet (1,900 m2) garage region was added in 1994 to the speedway.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Â Kyle Larson's early life</b></h2>
Kyle Larson was born on June 31, 1992, in Elk Grove, California. The HMS star was educated at Pleasant Grove High School in Elk Grove itself. Racing and school are difficult to balance but Larson had a lot of help from his mother who was a teacher. It's safe to say that the 2021 Cup Series champion was kind of an all-rounder when he was in school.

The HMS driver was born into a family of racers. His father, Mike Larson, was a racer as well. His mother, Janet Larson, is Japanese-American and both of his grandparents spent time in an internment camp during World War II. His middle name is Miyata which is a common surname in several regions in Japan. He has a sister whose name is Andrea.

Early on in his career in motorsports, Kyle Larson was a prolific dirt-track racer with several prestigious wins in the King's Royal, Knoxville Nationals, and the Chili Bowl Nationals. He also won the 2011 4-Crown Nationals at Eldora Speedway. This saw him win three types of USAC races at a go in a single night, becoming only the second driver to achieve so. The following year saw him earn six victories in USAC National Midget races, which included the Turkey Night Grand Prix.

His achievements caught the eye of the teams in NASCAR and Kyle Larson made his full-time debut in the 2013 Nationwide Series with Turner Scott Motorsports. He had run a few races in the Truck Series in 2012 with the same team.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Kyle Larsonâ€™s wife and children</b></h2>
The Hendrick Motorsports star married Katelyn Sweet on September 26, 2018. The couple has 3 children together, Owen Miyata Larson, Audrey Layne Larson, and Cooper Donald Larson. Cooper is the youngest and was born on the last day of 2022. However, when it comes to Audrey, the family shares some bad news. <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/nascar-news-same-quote-kyle-larsons-wife-reveals-daughter-suffers-from-the-same-horrific-disease-as-jada-pinkett-smith/">The parents revealed how their daughter has been impacted by Alopecia</a> since she was 18 months old, in honor of Alopecia Awareness Month. Since then, she has had hair loss, but they delayed going public with the news.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Kyle Lason's net worth 2024Â </b></h2>
As of 2023, Kyle Larson has amassed a net worth of $12 million as per Celebrity Net Worth including his race earnings, endorsements, and other ventures.

He also has several sponsorship deals with Target, Chevrolet, Oakley, Credit One Bank, iRacing, and Alpinestars.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Kyle Larsonâ€™s career timeline</b></h2>
Making his racing debut in outlaw karts at the age of seven, Kyle Larson has always been a talented multitasker trying his hands in various tourneys. Throughout his childho0d and adolescence, the driver started his professional racing career with open wheel-cars in the United States Auto Club (USAC) and the Silver Crown, among others. He also participated in the World of Outlaws and racked up his first win in the division at the Placerville Speedway, as one of the youngest drivers to ever compete. After winning Rookie of the Year in 2011, the racer then divulged his attention toward the NASCAR K &amp; N Pro Series and the ARCA Series.

In 2012, he was signed as a developmental driver for Earnhardt Ganassi Racing. In June of the same year, Larson won his first NASCAR K &amp; N Pro Series East race at Gresham Motorsports Park. He also went on to win the 2012 NASCAR K&amp;N Pro Series East Championship beating the likes of <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/corey-lajoie/">Corey LaJoie</a>. On the other hand, his ARCA career took some time to take off as his first win in the division came two years after his debut, in 2014, at Pocono Raceway.

Larson's NASCAR Truck Series debut came in 2012 and he won his first race the next year, at Rockingham Speedway, driving for Turner Scott Motorsports. And it is around the same time that his Xfinity And <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nascar/nascar-cup-series/">Cup Series</a> career took off as well. Debuting the top faction for <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nascar/chip-ganassi-racing/">Chip Ganassi Racing</a> in 2014, the driver finished 17th in the points standings in his first year. As for his <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nascar/nascar-xfinity-series/">Xfinity</a> Series career debut in 2013, the driver finished 8th in the final standings while driving for Turner Scott Motorsports.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Kyle Larsonâ€™s partnerships and endorsements</b></h2>
One of Kyle Larson's earliest sponsor after he moved to <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nascar/hendrick-motorsports/">Hendrick Motorsports</a> from Chip Ganassi Racing in 2021 was HendrickCars.com. The Hendrick Automotive Group, via the HendrickCars.com brand, became a majority sponsor for the #5 driver for the 2022 and 2023 Cup Series seasons. Backing Larson for some 35 races in his NASCAR schedule, the brand also committed itself to sponsoring the racer in all non-NASCAR events.

As the division's first Japanese-American driver, Larson also paid an ode to his heritage when, in 2023, he landed an official restaurant partner in the form of JINYA Ramen Bar. In this extensive agreement, according to an official press release by Hendrick Motorsports, the brand was set to feature on the driver's post-race hat, firesuit and even his team apparel.

Expressing his excitement, JINYA Founder and CEO Tomo Takahashi said at the time, <em>"Not only is Kyle a NASCAR star because of his supreme talent on the track, but heâ€™s also the sportâ€™s first-ever Asian-American driver, so we are thrilled to partner with him. Kyle has already picked up two wins this season and we canâ€™t wait to see him make many more trips to victory lane while wearing the JINYA logo!"</em>

Additionally, ahead of the 2024 Cup season, automotive services and lubricant brand, Valvoline also announced its bid to back Kyle Larson along with his teammate William Byron. <em>â€œValvoline will be the primary sponsor for Kyle Larson in three races (Phoenix, Sonoma and the Chicago Street Race) for the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season,â€Â </em>an official press release said.

In another exciting development, Kyle Larson is also set to drive for McLaren Racing for the 2024 Indianapolis 500 as he attempts the revered 'Double Duty' on May 26. Apart from that, tool manufacturer, Cincinnati Inc also joined hands with him ahead of his HMS debut.

One thing's for sure. The driver sure knows how to attract sponsors!
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Kyle Larson's investments</b></h2>
Just like any other multi-talented personality, Kyle Larson has time and again shown how easy it is to dabble in multiple things at once. From competing to owning, the driver knows how to do it all. Merely at the age of 21, in 2013, Kyle Larson started exploring his entrepreneurial side which saw the formation of his sprint car and midget racing team, in association with fellow driver Justin Marks, named Larson Marks Racing. Primarily competing in the World of Outlaws, the team has had its highs and lows. The team had a fairly successful run with driver Shane Stewart who won at the team's second-ever start at the Eldora Speedway. Apart from that, the driver was also the 2015 Kings Royal victor at the Eldora Speedway yet again. Stewart was also won the Winter Heat Sprint Car Showdow during the 2015-16 off-season, besides finish second in the WoO points standings in 2015.

But, things soon went downhill. While Kyle Larson taking over the sole ownership of the team in 2017 and renaming it Kyle Larson Racing seemed promising, the COVID-19 pandemic proved to be an adversity. In October of 2020, it was announced that the team would cease operations after the season was over.

While the closure might be disheartening, it didn't dampen his spirit. Soon after, in 2021, the driver announced the formation of a sprint car series, with his brother-in-law and five-time WoO champion Brad Sweet. The first season in 2023, saw 12 races. Kyle Larson won the inaugural season of the series. As for High Limit Racing's 2024 plans, the series has expanded the schedule to a staggering 60 races. It will also offer $5.8 million in prize money. Now that's what we can call an epic comeback!

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Kyle Larson's controversies</b></h2>
He may come across as a civil sportsperson today but Kyle Larson was the center of attention for all the wrong reasons back when he was racing for Chip Ganassi Racing in 2020. The now-Hendrick Motorsports driver uttered a racial slur during a video game stream in April that year. He was swiftly dropped from his team and he lost his sponsors. Before long, NASCAR suspended the driver. Larson was reinstated in October after which he joined HMS.

The 2021 Cup Series champion has had run-ins with the outspoken <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/denny-hamlin/">Denny Hamlin</a>. The two drivers had a moment in the 2023 Cup Series season in Kansas. Hamlin nudged Larson into the wall to take the victory of the race. The two drivers expressed their disappointment with one another and even the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nascar/stewart-haas-racing/https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nascar/joe-gibbs-racing/">Joe Gibbs Racing</a> driver's comments on the Actions Detrimental podcast frustrated his rival.

<em>â€œI donâ€™t think thereâ€™s a reason to be mad at him,â€</em> Larson had said on an episode of the High Limit Room podcast. <em>â€œWe were racing aggressively on the last lap for a win, and he was way faster than me. Just the only thing that I guess I get frustrated with is on his deal, his podcast, he says, â€˜I race a certain way, but Iâ€™ve never had to reach out to him to apologize about anything.'"</em>
