Hendrick Motorsports’ Kyle Larson is arguably the greatest racer of his generation. He is renowned for his ability to step into any race car and perform at the highest level. The 2021 Cup champion, alongside his primary commitment to racing in the NASCAR top-tier for Hendrick Motorsports, also races in Sprint and late model series.
The 2024 season will mark a new racing venture for him, as he is set to race in the Indy 500 for Arrow McLaren. This makes his 2024 schedule one of the craziest ever, as he has to race full-season in the Cup as well as in his Sprint Car racing series, the High Limit Racing. he also plans to run in 15 or more Late Model events. His 2024 race colander has almost 40 dirt races.
Recently talking about the same, Larson admitted that he would be sacrificing some late model races to make space for his other racing commitments in an already filled schedule. But that doesn’t mean Larson isn’t running in the events, he will race in at least 15 events, which he sees better than not racing. He also confirmed that he will be racing for Kevin and Jacqueline Rumley.
I’m definitely excited for the Late Model. It’s been so long since I’ve run, and I haven’t raced a lot this offseason. There will definitely be less Late Model races I get to run this year just because my Sprint Car schedule is so busy. May is busy. My schedule is crazy this year. Unfortunately, that means less Late Model races but I still think I’ll hit 15 or so, which is better than nothing I guess.Larson said, as reported by Sportsnaut.
Kyle Larson has huge praises for the Vado Late Model track
While discussing the tracks he finds interesting, the champion driver pointed out that Vado, a ¾ miles track in New Mexico, is one of his favorites. The short track hosts some of the prominent events, such as the Wild West Shootout, and the track is known for its impressive open-wheel style slide job passes.
Larson sees Vado as a good track for any racing and claims the track hosts the best racing throughout the year. The Hendrik Motorsports driver has high hopes for his 2024 season and expects an opportunity to win a race at the track.
It’s still tough to pass at like most Late Model tracks are but not as much as a number of them. I like it. I feel like it’s the perfect kind of race track for any kind of car. That’s why it put on some of the best racing of the year. It should be a good time and hopefully I can win one.
