“So much fun there. That was old-school a** whipping for sure.”

He also slams the performance of other drivers on the circuit, saying, “I got out to a big lead and I could see everybody’s cars were driving like cr*p in front of me. We were God-awful all weekend. Practice I was like the worst on 30-lap average, went backwards in a heat race yesterday. You obviously had some strategy work out there in the beginning, but we drove from dead last to the lead and checked out by 12 or 13 seconds.”

Larson was definitely the star of All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro. As one of the best and most skilled drivers in NASCAR, it is only befitting of him to earn the crown as well as the lucrative prize money of a million dollars.
