1-on-1: Larson reflects on his journey to the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series championship

[@johnmilliard2696]

Finally someone acknowledging the fact that Jeff Gordon played a large role in getting Larson to sign with Hendrick. Kyle may someday surpass them all. I very likable guy and no doubt his experience on dirt is helping him on the cup side.

[@goose2323]

It’s hilarious Jeff Gordon told him to quit dirt because it would give him bad habits when he met with Hendrick the first time. Lol

[@johnboy4025]

Only problem Kyle has is his slow start with Gnassi/Getting Cancelled. But I think with what he has now… he can make up some serious ground!

[@denisehood4376]

Local boy makes good. Northern California says: CONGRATS TO KYLE LARSON ON HIS CHAMPIONSHIP WIN.

[@joshkroger1760]

Sac town baby

[@ShawnCaldwell11]

Kyle Larson deserves this. Yes, he made a mistake. We all do. But i think it was the right thing for NASCAR to give him a second chance and thanks to Rick Hendrick for believing in him.

[@tropicalpalmtree]

He should never have been suspended. What the hell happened to the 1st amendment?

[@jeffgortz338]

I live in monterey, California, way to go Kyle, I'm so happy for you !!!😅😅

[@6.0king]

The best racer in the world rn.

[@rayvargas4660]

It's real brother. Sucks what had to happen for you to get here, but just learn from your mistakes and try to be better than you were the day before.

[@SDCBMS]

Good advice

[@jameswhiteside1506]

Larson accomplished more in one season than Earnhardt Jr did in his whole career at HMS.

[@geraldgerow3689]

Well deserved 👏.....Larson will be one of the greatest of all time

Damn, it must’ve sucked staying in that sweaty and champagne covered suit for such a long time… unless he changed into a new one 😂

they for sure have multiple in the haulers

[@buckman840]

He switched at some point as he mentioned changing on the teardown podcast recorded at the end of the night.

[@ShawnCaldwell11]

im sure he was able to take a shower and change into a clean suit before the interviews.

Kyle Larson is the GOAT of NASCAR 2021 and for MANY years to come.....Congrats Kyle👍

[@throwingsparks]

So exciting to watch regardless of the platform. CONGRATS KYLE LARSON!! What a wheel man.....

[@FlyEaglesFly19111]

Was a blessing in disguise for Kyle. What happened to where he is now. He and Chase will be strong for many many years to come. How ironic now at Hendrick. The 24/48 are not as good as the 9/5...how the tides have shifted. Great job to the whole organization. Congratulations

[@LexNI]

in fact, the 5/9 are the 48/24, just renumbered))

[@LexNI]

i dunno what Byron team is, but 48 is renumbered 88 of Bowman..)

[@Mitchell2311]

A well deserved championship one of the best season I seen by a cup champion in a while

[@mistahanansi2264]

I'd expect nothing less from Speed Racer himself!

[@ashleyjackson8595]

Congratulations on winning the NASCAR Cup series championship this year Kyle Larson 🏎👍

[@geraldhogan1980]

Go kyle...you saved me from walking away from a spectator of nascar with all the changes and diversity!!!! U are such a humble young man...from sacramento u have given me a reason to root for a local driver asphalt and dirt....

[@ShawnCaldwell11]

kyle has definitely saved nascar thats for sure.

[@harriettubman2717]

If diversity was pushing you away from the sport, then why are you happy to see a Drive for Diversity graduate win a Cup championship for the first time?

[@jmaced95]

Diversity...almost made you walk away? Wow.

[@shirleypoplo7715]

One word!!!! AMAZING!!!!

[@scott5654]

If Kyle remains him normal self, he will be more popular than Jimmy Johnson, Jeff Gordon and Dale Junior put together. Kyle is a good person and a GREAT driver ‼️

LFG! Best wheel man in the world

[@1revlimit]

Nailed it.

[@eleven2170]

I think with the new car next year he will be more dominant because of the fact he races in all kinds of cars. He will adapt faster than the other drivers, that only like to complain about rack and pinion steering and low profile tires.

Him getting fired from gnassi an going to hendrick was best thing that could of happend.dude could wheel anything
