Rookie Kyle Larson’s Awkward Encounter With Indy500’s ‘Milking’ Tradition Leaves NASCAR Fans in Splits

We didn’t have one thing on our what-to-expect list—that’s Kyle Larson milking a cow! But this isn’t a poor joke but a reality that Larson went through. Larson, you see, might be a driver with 13 years of experience in NASCAR but over at Indy, he is still a rookie. And as per traditions, a cow milking experience is a must!

We bet when he thought of soaking in the entire Indianapolis 500 experience, Larson didn’t expect to find himself under an udder.

Kyle Larson’s milking escapade in the Indianapolis 500 

At Indy 500 there is a somewhat new tradition in place for rookies. So it goes like this – after a rookie finishes the qualifying race and a penultimate practice, they return to the speedway the next morning for a crack at milking a cow. When a reporter asked Larson whether he was ready to milk the cow, his expressions were blank and he said, “What? Is that a thing?” This was the first time he had learned about the custom and he was alarmed. At that moment he just said: “Do we get to glove up?”

And the best thing about this NASCAR goat is that he never gives up easily. So off he was on a hot and bright Tuesday morning to milk a cow. The black and white Holstein was busy munching away when Larson bent and gave one of the udders a couple of tugs. Let us also mention—he was ungloved! 

We have to say that he didn’t seem experienced enough, but Larson cleared that up for us. He said, “I grew up in a city. I’ve never really been around a cow.” So while everything that Larson does comes naturally to him, there are some things even the greats of NASCAR cannot do best. But he did manage to get some stream of milk, so kudos for that! This left the NASCAR fans with a couple of laughs in the comment section.

Kyle Larson prepping for the double. HMS ace attempting a feat that only one has ever broken. Kyle Larson milking a cow! Well, that doesn’t seem usual for anyone and neither did it for NASCAR fans. Fans took over socials and went ballistic over the entire thing. 

Larson is heading to do something that only Tony Stewart could do–the double. In this attempt, he will be racing at two tracks in one single day. Little did he know that he would have an awkward cow encounter that he had to overcome first. One fan said, “Moral of this video, @KyleLarsonRacin holds a Spectacular Line under a cow and behind the wheel!” We agree too, he indeed showed sportsmanship.

Another fan rallied behind the driver, totally embodying who a NASCAR fan truly is–an unwavering supporter! He said, “Get in there Kyle, own that shit !!!!” Moreover, we need to add that at least he got a mooo… instead of booo… [Bubba Wallace hints]

Another user was utterly confused and didn’t understand how Larson didn’t have any prior experience. She said, “You telling me a kid from the Central Valley doesn’t have cow milking experience???” Well, he indeed doesn’t, and he did clarify saying, “I grew up in a city. I’ve never really been around a cow.” 

One NASCAR fan was hilarious and his comment just added another layer of humor to an already awkward situation. He said, “Am I missing something? Where’s the bucket? It would be udderly sad to waste it.” We have to say–love the wordplay!

Another fan couldn’t help and did a little fortune-telling. He said, “Oh man there are going to be memes galore off this lil.” And yes we can already see the racing community stir up memes on the awkward milking by Larson.

NASCAR fans thrive on the adrenaline rush, the thrill, the drama. But sometimes it’s the unexpected things like Larson’s milking escapade that bring a refreshing element. It brings about a smile and a laugh amidst the very serious and action-heavy races.
