Kyle Larson has come a long way in his career. After securing the NASCAR Cup Series triumph in 2021, the Hendrick Motorsports driver is touted to be a strong title contender in 2023. Not many know, though, that Kyle was a pretty amazing driver back in the day when he drove sprint cars. In fact, the now NASCAR driver flourished immensely, driving Outlaw Karts at Cycleland Speedway.

He drove those Outlaw Karts for seven years, making a name for himself by winning five track championships. In addition, Kyle was the first legally approved 14-year-old sprint car driver in California. There is no doubt how much the 30-year-old loves Outlaw Karting. In a recent social media post, Kyle was caught doing a savage act.

Larson’s next move was really unexpected. The 30-year-old driver went on to photo-bomb the young racer while he was asleep. The young driver’s motorsports’ social media account recently took everyone back to this wild memory.
The account stated how Kyle Larson recollected his younger days seeing Corbin sleep. In fact, he was quick to admit that even he used to fall asleep in the same spot as a kid. Interestingly though, young Corbin went on to win that Red Bluff Outlaws race. Wonder how he would have reacted, knowing Kyle Larson was there prior to the race.
