Despite only participating in four races in 2020, Larson emerged as the winningest driver of the 2020s with an impressive 26 victories. His standout performance in 2021, where he clinched a remarkable 10 wins en route to his first championship with HMS, was just a glimpse of the greatness to come from the talented driver.
Following his triumph at Kansas, Larson took to social media to share his elation, encapsulating the moment with a single word: “Kansas.” This victory not only solidified Larson’s status as a powerhouse in NASCAR but also set the stage for his upcoming endeavors, including the All-Star Race weekend and his ambitious Indy 500/Coca-Cola 600 Double attempt.
