Get ready for an adrenaline-pumping weekend as Kyle Larson gears up for a historic challenge at Bristol Motor Speedway. The stage is set for Larson to attempt a remarkable Bristol sweep, aiming to conquer all three national-series races at the iconic 0.533-mile short track.
Only one driver has achieved this remarkable feat before, and that’s Kyle Busch in 2010 and 2017. Now, Larson is on a mission to etch his name alongside the greats in NASCAR history.
Larson, who already secured a victory at Homestead-Miami Speedway earlier this season, is no stranger to success. With his eyes set on Bristol, Larson expressed his excitement, stating, “I love Bristol. Hopefully, the track widens out for the truck race like it did last fall. If it is locked on the bottom, qualifying good is going to be huge.”
As Larson embarks on his quest for glory, other series regulars will be battling it out for the coveted $50,000 Triple Truck Challenge bonus, a prize exclusive to the Truck Series. Daniel Hemric kicked off the season by clinching both his first Truck Series win and the Triple Truck Challenge bonus at Martinsville Speedway.
Bristol has a history of unpredictability, with 12 different winners in the last 12 races at the track. The competition is fierce, and the track has seen trophies go to six different racing organizations in the last six events.
With the excitement building up, all eyes will be on Larson as he takes to the track on Friday to kick off his Bristol campaign. Will he make history and sweep all three races? The answer lies in the thunderous roar of the engines and the screech of tires on the asphalt at Bristol Motor Speedway.
