Few drivers in the world are as versatile as Kyle Larson. Apart from having competed in NASCAR’s three national series, the 32-year-old won the 24 Hours of Daytona in 2015 and participated at the Indianapolis 500 earlier this year, where he finished 18th. Considered one of the most talented drivers of the generation, Larson is nothing short of a superhero to many motorsports fans around the world. However, just like Superman’s weakness was kryptonite, the Hendrick Motorsports driver also struggles with a certain type of driving.

Speaking to NASCAR insider Kenny Wallace, Katelyn, Kyle Larson’s wife has revealed her husband’s weakest form of driving in a candid interview, which could potentially be an embarrassing revelation for the 2021 Cup Series champion.

Kyle Larson is truly something else, isn’t he? The Hendrick Motorsports driver is currently ranked first in the driver standings, having secured four wins in the ongoing Cup Series campaign. Widely considered to be one of the greatest racers in modern history, the 32-year-old attempted the famous ‘double’ this season, competing at the Indy 500 and the Coca-Cola 600 on the same day. While the weather played a spoilsport on that occasion, it did leave fans scratching their heads, questioning if there was anything Larson couldn’t do like a true champion.

And, as it turns out, there is!
Katelyn Larson revealed to Kenny Wallace that her husband struggles with a certain form of driving. Speaking on Episode 73 of Kenny Wallace Conversation, she said, “He’s one of the worst street drivers. So distracted, and he drives with two feet. I don’t know about you, but I switch over. But he drives with two feet and he always wants to hit his mark. So if there’s a red light in front of us, he drives to the line and then hits the brake. I’m like, my gosh, can you just ease off a little? But he’s always in race mode apparently.”

Another hilarious story Katelyn Larson revealed about her husband

Who would have thought that Kyle Larson out of all people wouldn’t know how to change a tire? Given his vast experience as a racing driver, it would be natural to assume that the 2021 Cup Series winner will know how to deal with the basic adversities that come with owning a car, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Speaking to Kenny Wallace on his podcast, Katelyn Larson revealed a funny incident about the time when her husband hit the curb,

She said, “He [Kyle] drove a Chevy Tahoe. He hit a curb. He got a flat tire. I was outside in the garage changing it with his sister we had it jacked up it was those big rims though so I got the spare out. I said, ‘Oh you’re gonna have to call somebody.’ The spare does not fit, it’s not the same rim. Well then about two days later he just called Chevy and said you can come get the car.”

Additionally, Katelyn Larson herself has built quite a rapport with NASCAR fans, who look forward to seeing her chug a beer in Victory Lane every time her husband wins a race. The celebration has become iconic and was last seen at Indianapolis Motor Speedway when Kyle Larson won his fourth race of the season.

With playoffs on the horizon, fans of the No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports driver will hope that Katelyn gets plenty more opportunities to perform her beer celebration in the upcoming 10 races, with the hope that Kyle Larson secures the second Cup Series win of his career.
