Welcome back to another episode of Racin’ With The Boys. This week we have the defending NASCAR Cup Series champion, Kyle Larson join us from San Diego. This was recorded before the NASCAR race in Coronado so he joined us via Zoom. The boys immediately get into Kyle’s love for racing and how it seems like he is hopping in a car every single day. This brings up the conversation of how do NASCAR contracts work with allowing drivers to race in other types of series/cars which is a very interesting conversation. The boys and Kyle now have a mutual friend in William Byron so the guys ask Kyle what Byron is like behind the scenes.

Will asks the hard hitting question of, which Larson kid is the best at racing now. It takes Kyle a bit to answer the question but the answer may surprise you. Staying on the Larson family, Kyle’s wife Katelyn, is known to shotgun a beer or two after big wins. The guys ask Kyle how that all started and whether or not she continues to do so after each win.

Finally the guys end off the show looking ahead at Sonoma this weekend and what it felt like for Kyle being the cover athlete for the new NASCAR 26 video game. All in all, this is another fun interview showing more of the personality of one of the best drivers in the sport of NASCAR, enjoy.
