A generational talent, Kyle Larson certainly proved himself with the recent NASCAR All-Star race at North Wilkesboro. While the iconic short track made an impossible comeback to the Cup Series schedule, Larson made the most out of the opportunity as he won both the Truck Series and Cup Series races.
As he added a third victory to his campaign at the All-Star race, winning at 3 different tracks, Larson also took home the 1 million cash prize. The NASCAR fraternity did not quite anticipate such a dominating performance from the #5 Chevy, as many are still in disbelief.
Despite the race having little to zero action, Larson made quick use of his time as soon as he found the spot. The driver then held off the rest of the drivers perfectly to come home with the win. The superior performance had the community in awe of the driver’s talent behind the wheel while fellow drivers like Noah Gragson and former driver, Danica Patrick, shook his hand as they both liked Larson’s latest post.
“The old-school a** whooping” clip certainly got the fans’ attention. We also saw his wife, “shotgun sweetie,” Katelyn Larson celebrating his win. Patrick extended her support by sharing Larson’s post to her Instagram story with a caption, “you’re so cool,” tagging the driver. Even Victoria’s Secret model and part-time ARCA Menards Series driver Toni Reidinger, liked the video.
Soon after the epic clip went viral on the internet, ecstatic fans quickly jumped on board the bandwagon as they cheered for the 30-year-old.

Fans mentioned Tony Stewart’s words as they cheered for Larson, “Tony Stewart said it best. He’s the best driver in the dam field.”
As others wrapped things in humor, “I think when he passed for the lead he waved see ya later”
