Kyle Larson

“NASCAR racing is the highest form of American auto racing, and I've always wanted to be racing in the highest form. I want to accomplish good things in everything I get in every night, but NASCAR is the biggest, most-watched thing in American racing.”

“When I got to experience Hendrick Motorsports, I realize now that we didn't have the resources these big teams have.”

“I think you can always get every area of your game better.”

“I definitely think as much as I race and so many different types of cars that I run - and having success doing it too - I think helps grow the sport of motorsports. It's not something I really have to work to do though. It just naturally kind of happens. And it's what I love to do - I love to race so much.”

“In the sprint cars, you have to be so aggressive for 30 or 40 laps.”

“I try to race everybody with respect.”

“I think fans appreciate seeing me race a lot.”

“I like country, and I like some classic rock, too.”

“This sport is so tough so it's nice when you go run a sprint car and go win a race.”

“I think the definition of 'the greatest racecar driver' is different to everybody.”

“I really just love racing cars in general.”

“I never had to really worry about anything and I guess I was naive.”

“To be around a person who is that well-respected is just going to teach me even more about how to be better.”

“I love making fun of myself.”

“You have to grow up pretty quick when you get to the Cup series.”

“I was accepting of the fact that I probably won't ever race in it again. I'm thankful that I did get that second chance and I was able to do good things through it.”

“Well, I never worked a real job.”

“The 24 is just legendary, it's kind of like the 3 with Dale Earnhardt Sr. where everybody knows the rainbow 24 DuPont Chevrolet. It is just a very recognizable car, driver, just a legendary team.”

“I like being a guy that's bridging the gap between all different forms of racing, especially now that I'm in the Dirt Late Model stuff, too. I think that's helped bridge the gap between sprint car fans and Late Models.”

“It's been nice to hang out with my friends in the sprint car world just because a lot of drivers in the sprint car racing community are some of my best friends.”
