With the first race win of the season under his belt, Kyle Larson is now set to shift into the tempo, to the rhythm, he found last season, a season in which he ended up with 10 race wins and the Cup title. And as if he needed any more reason to do justice to his talent, his No.5 Camaro now has a beautiful paint job that warrants race wins and race wins only.
Valvoline recently unveiled the new paint scheme for Kyle Larson’s No.5 Hendrick car. According to Hendrick Motorsports, Larson will race with this stunning color scheme at Phoenix in March, World Wide Technology Raceway in June, and Homestead Miami in October.

Larson winning in Las Vegas is something that is also predicted by several odd models as well. According to the Pennzoil model, the No.5 is 7-2 favorite to win in Sin City.
Next in line are Denny Hamlin with 8-1, Joey Logano with 8-1, and Brad Keselowski with 25-1 odds. However, Larson’s ‘rival’ and teammate Chase Elliott is predicted to barely even crack into the Top five at Vegas.
