Amidst the ongoing conversation on NASCAR drivers racing at dirt tracks, 2021 champion Kyle Larson expanded on the conversation during his latest High Limit Racing podcast episode.
“I think all the dirt racing I did in 2021 was a big reason why I won the (NASCAR) championship that season,” Larson said.
Larson spoke about his teammates Chase Elliott and Alex Bowman, who each suffered injuries away from NASCAR this season.
“It’s a passion,” Larson said Everything we do outside of our job in NASCAR is a passion of ours. Whether it be skiing or snowboarding – and Chase, unfortunately, got hurt earlier this year – or me racing sprint cars and dirt cars. It’s a passion, but for me it’s more than that on the driving part of it.”
