ELK GROVE, Calif.—As an aspiring racer growing up in Northern California, Kyle Larson could not have imagined winning one NASCAR Cup Championship, let alone two.

Kyle Larson is now a two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion following Sunday’s season finale at Phoenix Raceway. The Elk Grove, California, native plans to enjoy the title for a few weeks before getting back behind the wheel of a race car.

Dirt racing enthusiasts are eager to know: When will Kyle Larson step away from NASCAR full-time to go back to his Sprint Car roots year-round?

The championship four is set. One race remains to settle the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series championship. One past champion is in the field in Kyle Larson, and three drivers who are hoping to add their names to the legendary list of champions before them in Denny Hamlin, Chase Briscoe, and William Byron. And one thing all four of these drivers have in common is an extensive short track racing past that has helped define their present.

A third Larson parked their vehicle in victory lane at Salisbury, North Carolina’s Millbridge Speedway on Tuesday night. Seven-year-old Audrey Larson took the checkered flag for the very first time on Tuesday in the Cadet division, joining her older brother, Owen and her father, Kyle Larson, as winners at the 1/6-mile oval.

It was the 30th annual American Rebel Light Front Row Challenge presented by Sea Foam and Country Builders Racing at Southern Iowa Speedway as the $21,000-to-win Monday night program added to the anticipation of Knoxville Nationals week.

Tensions ran high as two of the best Sprint Car drivers in the country battled for position Friday night at Eldora Speedway. An on-track battle between Kyle Larson and David Gravel during the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series "Knight Before" feature led to an exchange of words after the checkered flag.

On a marquee night for Sprint Car racing, NASCAR Cup Series star Kyle Larson cashed in — claiming the $100,000 victory in Thursday’s Kubota High Limit Racing Joker’s Jackpot at Eldora Speedway.

A fuel stop with four laps to go. A driver refueling his fuel tank in the work area that wasn't supposed to. A miscommunication on the broadcast about the open-red in the closing laps. Kyle Larson sounding off on smaller fuel cells.

Pennsylvania Speedweek drew even with Mother Nature on Wednesday at Port Royal Speedway by completing its third event of the miniseries in the wake of three rainouts.

After last year's two-win season — his lowest victory total since 2016 — and subar 2025 to date, Monday's Pennsylvania Speedweek victory at Lincoln Speedway for Freddie Rahmer was a needed one.

One of the winningest drivers in Pennsylvania Speedweek history is set to make his first appearance at the miniseries since 2022.

Owen Larson and Audrey Larson, the son and daughter of NASCAR star Kyle Larson, will compete against some of the nations top up-and-coming talent next week at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Both Larsons will be in action during the invitational Stoops Pursuit GMC Junior Sprint race during the BC39 Presented by Avanti Windows & Doors, which will be held July 1-2.
