Kyle Larson Visits George Floyd Memorial in Minneapolis to Show his Support

Last week, Kyle Larson visited George Floyd memorial in Minneapolis, Minnesota to pay his respects. Larson was part of a group of ‘The Sanneh Foundation’ staff.

The Sanneh Foundation posted a picture of the visit on their Instagram. They wrote, “Yesterday we took some staff to the George Floyd memorial in Minneapolis to remind us what we are working for. Empower, Improve, Unite. Our mission is so important and we are determined to keep this momentum going towards lasting equity changes in our community.”

During a NASCAR IRacing Invitation Series race, Kyle used a racial slur during a live stream and was fired by the Chip Ganassi team and NASCAR. After that, he shifted all his focus on dirt racing.

Remarkable Comeback of Kyle Larson

On Thursday, Kyle Larson extended his winning streak on the dirt. The 27-year old started in a lowly 15th at Lincoln Park Speedway in Indiana, be didn’t let that stop him from clawing his way up. Kyle Larson is no stranger to epic comebacks, as this is the second straight fight-from-the-back win in a row. A day earlier, he qualified 14th, but scythed his way up the grid to lead the final 13 laps and win at the Gas City I-69 Speedway.

After the race, he spoke to USACRacing.com about his race. He credited his car for the victory. Kyle acknowledged that he is the first driver to win three Indiana Midget Week races in a row. He said, “To come from 15 like that on a super technical racetrack is very special to me.”

Additionally, the stakes have been very high for his opponents.  Any driver who beats Larson could earn an additional bounty of $1,000. However, if they didn’t the money will be donated to the Indiana Donor Network in his name.
