The conversation took place three years ago but time has only magnified the words Kyle Larson spoke that day.
Larson and I talked ahead of the 2021 Cup playoffs about the comparisons that were made of him to Mario Andretti, A.J. Foyt and Tony Stewart — racing royalty whose success was not limited to just one form of motorsports.
A couple of months later, Larson won the Cup championship, capping one of the greatest seasons in U.S. motorsports history with his dominance in NASCAR and victories in some of the biggest races in midget car, sprint car and dirt late model racing.

Car owner Rick Hendrick, once adamant that his drivers not race in any series outside of NASCAR, softened his stance when he signed Larson and will be a part of his driver’s greatest adventure.
This month, Larson seeks to become the first driver in a decade to compete in both the Indianapolis 500 (11 a.m. – 4 p.m. May 26 on NBC) and Coca-Cola 600 in the same day. The only drivers who have done both in the same day are John Andretti, Robby Gordon, Kurt Busch and Stewart.
