Kyle Larson is currently in the midst of the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series championship fight. However, it is interesting to note that he is also competing in various dirt races this season. Considering that there are 36 Cup races, Larson is a very busy man.
In light of this, Kaulig Racing driver Justin Haley marveled at Larson’s ability to juggle his hectic schedule.

He said, “I don’t even understand how Larson figures out where to go? I don’t understand, who does that for him, but I could never do that. All credit to him for even figuring out where races are.”
“Half the time of figuring where these dirt races are, is like some Facebook feed post.”
“Like, ‘Hey, we’re racing Thursday’. That’s how it is, they don’t have posted schedules. It’s up to them.”
How is Kyle Larson performing in the NASCAR Cup Series in 2022?
Last weekend, the first round of the Playoffs wrapped up and the last four drivers were eliminated. The casualties included Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick, and both Richard Childress Racing drivers. This means that Larson is still in contention and currently sits fourth in the standings.

This campaign has been truly topsy-turvy, with a record-equaling 19 different race winners. This includes all the Playoff drivers, except for poor old Ryan Blaney. Even when the Playoffs kicked off, the three race winners were non-Playoff drivers. Suffice to say, there will be a lot of pressure on the remaining drivers to at least win one race.

This will ensure that they secure their berth through to the next round. Otherwise, NASCAR will most likely break the record for the most race winners in a single season. The next three races are at the Texas Motor Speedway, the Talladega Superspeedway, and the Charlotte Roval.
