Recently, Kyle Larson registered a $12,000 win at the Golden Isles Speedway. After not being able to secure a lead for the majority of the race, Larson finally overtook the race leader Ricky Thornton Jr during the last 3 laps. However, what happened next would definitely go down as one of the most embarrassing moments in Larson’s career.
