Newsmaker of the Week // Kyle Larson

What a week it was for Kyle Larson!

He was spectacular on Wednesday in California, winning a High Limit 410 Sprint race going away.

Two days later, he made a rare NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series start, recovered from a spin, and came back to win the race. He had the Xfinity Series race in the bag until an overzealous Sam Mayer decided to be the control car from third place, jacking up Larson, who still salvaged a top five finish.

Then on Sunday, Larson spent the Cup race at Homestead riding up against the fence as if he were riding the cushion at the Knoxville Nationals. When teammate Alex Bowman tried to emulate Larson while leading, he hit the wall, Larson passed him, and won.

Four races, four different cars, three wins and one ‘should’ve’. In an age of race car driver specialization, Kyle Larson can do it all – something very few have ever been able to do.

Times four, last week, Kyle Larson was a Newsmaker!
