No matter what and no matter where, Kyle Larson is down to race anything, anywhere and against whoever he has to. The latest addition to Larson’s impressive and busy schedule is a CARS Tour race. He will compete under Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s JR Motorsports team in the No. 5 Chevy. The late-model race at Caraway Speedway is going to be star-studded with this NASCAR driver in the field.

While some people are trying to get Kyle Larson to give away his prize money, Yung Money is about to go to Asheboro and take some more cash. When Larson comes to town, you gotta hold close to your purse or he might come take it.

Of course, Dale Jr. is excited to have Larson under his banner. It also happens to be Junior’s racing series as well. This is a big win for the CARS Tour and should be a fun race for the regulars.

The race is just a week away and it should be interesting. We saw the CARS Tour and ASA Nationals both race against Cup Series talent at North Wilkesboro. While there was a close race with some of these top talents, it was the regulars that ended up winning out in the end.

Having Kyle Larson join the CARS Tour at Caraway is only going to improve the attendance, the atmosphere is going to be great, and those other drivers are going to be looking at it as a chance to take on a Cup Series champion.

Kyle Larson is a racer’s racer

It would be hard to find a driver in the NASCAR Cup Series with a busier schedule than Kyle Larson. The 2021 Cup champion is looking to race as much as he can throughout his prime years and he has won a lot of races and made a lot of money in the process.

From sprint car races on the dirt to late models and more, Larson gets behind the wheel and drives it deep in the corner, gets the most yaw out of it, and proves he’s one of the best wheelmen in the world every week. The CARS Tour is the next test of Larson’s talents as he tries his hand at late-model asphalt racing.

Dale Jr. and what he has done for grassroots racing should be appreciated by all. It really feels like the last few years there has been a return to the small tracks and what makes stock car racing so special.

When NASCAR stars try their hand at other series, everyone wins. It raises the appeal of those small tracks and races, gives the drivers a real challenge, and likely wins over some new fans in the process. I have a feeling Kyle Larson might end up winning the race at Caraway.
