Kyle Larson Declares War: No Softies for Son Owen in Future Drag Races!
In the high-octane world of motorsports, where speed is king and every second counts, Kyle Larson is setting the stage for an electrifying showdown with none other than his son, Owen! While Kyle Busch’s son, Brexton, is already a racing prodigy, living, breathing, and dreaming of the racetrack, Larson’s boy is carving out his own multifaceted path. Owen may take to the track in micros and similar divisions, but he’s also got his hands in baseball and flag football, showcasing an exciting array of interests that go beyond the asphalt.
But don’t let the playful exterior fool you! Larson is adamant that when the day comes for a father-son face-off, he won’t be holding back. “A drag race… probably him since he’s lighter than me,” Larson admitted candidly. However, he quickly clarified that there would be no easy rides for Owen. “Oh no! For sure, I never let him win,” Larson declared, emphasizing his commitment to teaching his son about the harsh realities of competition. “I want him to learn what disappointment’s like so he can deal with it and get over it quickly.” In this household, victories are earned, not given!
The anticipation builds as Larson prepares for a future where he and Owen will share the track. Although a direct showdown isn’t on the immediate horizon, Larson is convinced that it’s coming sooner rather than later—potentially as soon as next year! But to take on his son, Larson must step up his game. He’s not one to shy away from a challenge, but his current racing schedule of bigger cars keeps him from diving into the micros as extensively as Kyle Busch does.
Larson’s confidence in Owen’s racing skills is apparent, and he knows that this budding rivalry will require significant time and dedication from both racers. “For now, Owen continues to devote himself to running Micros and Sprints,” Larson noted, and it’s clear that his son is diligently working his way up through the ranks. As Owen transitions into sprint cars or other critical stepping-stone divisions, their paths will inevitably intertwine on the racetrack.
But it’s not just Owen who is making waves in the Larson household; his sister, Audrey, is also rising to the challenge! At just seven years old, she’s proving she has an even fiercer competitive spirit than her brother. As she battles for checkered flags in the Junior Sprint division, she’s also exploring new horizons by taking up ice hockey, demonstrating that the Larson legacy is more than just about racing—it’s about the relentless pursuit of excellence in any arena.
With the motorsports world watching closely, the stage is set for an exhilarating family rivalry that promises to thrill fans and ignite the competitive spirit like never before. Kyle Larson is ready to give it his all, and when the day comes for him to race against Owen, one thing is certain: it won’t be a father-son affair; it will be a full-throttle battle for glory! Buckle up, because the Larson family is just getting started, and this is one race you won’t want to miss!
