Kyle Larson Stunned by Hendrick Motorsports’ Decade-Long Victory Drought at Michigan

Kyle Larson Stunned by Hendrick Motorsports’ Decade-Long Victory Drought at Michigan

In a stunning revelation ahead of the adrenaline-pumping weekend at Michigan International Speedway, Kyle Larson expressed his astonishment over Hendrick Motorsports’ drought at the D-shaped oval since Jeff Gordon’s last victory in 2014. The racing ace finds it perplexing as Michigan is not typically a track where the team faces setbacks.

The only glimmer of hope in the last decade for Hendrick Motorsports at Michigan Speedway was Jeff Gordon’s triumph, a four-time NASCAR Cup Series champion. However, with Kyle Larson now part of the squad, boasting three victories at the track, the narrative might be on the brink of change. Larson clinched his first win at Michigan back in 2016 during his tenure with Chip Ganassi Racing.

Larson voiced his bewilderment, stating, “Yeah, I don’t know. I think it’s been since even I won in ’17 that a Chevy has won here. Which is, I mean, it’s kind of surprising because I don’t feel like it’s a track that we struggle at, you know, by any means.”

Despite consistently showcasing speed and dominance at Michigan in Hendrick cars, victory has eluded Larson and his teammates due to race dynamics. However, Larson remains optimistic, highlighting that Michigan is not a track where they encounter the same challenges faced at Nashville.

As the anticipation builds for the upcoming Firekeepers Casino 400 this Sunday, Kyle Larson will commence the race in the fifth position, sharing the front rows with Chris Buescher, another former Michigan International Speedway victor. Racing enthusiasts can catch the event live on Prime Video starting at 2 pm ET, with real-time updates available on MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.

In a heart-stopping prelude to the Cup Series race at Michigan, Kyle Larson narrowly escaped unscathed from a harrowing sprint car crash at Plymouth Dirt Track. Despite his No. 57 dirt car losing a wheel and careening into the catch fence, Larson emerged uninjured, much to the relief of onlookers. Larson, reflecting on the incident, mentioned, “Glad I’m okay. Big hits, but all in all I feel fine.”

On the NASCAR leaderboard, Kyle Larson currently holds the second position in the championship standings with 499 points, trailing behind his Hendrick Motorsports teammate, William Byron, who leads with 547 points. The racing world eagerly awaits Larson’s next move as he continues to chase victory and glory on the track.
