The 2024 NASCAR Cup season witnessed Kyle Larson producing yet another masterclass performance. The No:5 Hendrick Motorsports driver ended the season with six wins, most of any driver this season, and was the class of the field, as he came close to winning the regular season championship despite missing the Coke 600.

Kyle Larson reflected on his performance this season at the NASCAR Awards ceremony and admitted that the R-8 mistakes cost him the opportunity to win the titles. But he doesn’t think it was a low for him, as he finished the year as the most successful driver giving and it was poor luck that cost him the championhip-4 slot.

The round of eight just didn’t work out for us and, yeah, didn’t get the chance to race for a championship. But I don’t really look at that as like a low either. I know we had the most successful season. Granted, we didn’t get to win a championship.

Kyle Larson said via Frontstretch.

He explained that he and the No:5 team has led the most laps in all types of tracks and has won more, making him very proud of their efforts. Kyle Larson is looking forward to keep performing on the same level in the upcoming races.

We won a lot more races than everybody else and led a ton of laps and pretty much led every category. So yeah, that was something I’m very proud of and look forward to trying to do even better next year.

And then we have another vacation after that Australia, and then I’ll go directly to shootout and then you know then NASCAR season basically starts right after that so yeah, not a whole lot of like relaxing at home.
