Kyle Larson recently discussed his chances of winning the NASCAR Cup Series in 2024. Larson, who most recently won at Sonoma Raceway, indicated that his consistency with Hendrick Motorsports can pave the road for his 2024 championship.
Larson is certain that 2024 will bring him something better than the title he earned in 2021. The current season has already been excellent for him, and he believes he has “better” chances of winning the championship.
“We’ve been really strong, consistent, and executing very well,” Larson told SiriusXM NASCAR Radio. “I know 2021 went amazing, but I would say this year seems even better than that year, because we’re like executing [races] really well.”
The Toyota/Save Mart 350 marked the #5 driver’s third win of the season. He won in Las Vegas and Kansas earlier and propelled his lead to the top, despite starting one less race compared to his competitors.
With his consistency and performance, Kyle Larson is one of the greatest NASCAR drivers of all time, and it comes as no surprise that he is worth $12 million.
That figure might even shoot up if the #5 Chevrolet driver manages to claim his second NASCAR Cup title.
NASCAR expert reveals what made Kyle Larson unbeatable this season.
Renowned NASCAR personality and expert Jordan Bianchi recently opened up about Kyle Larson and Hendrick Motorsports’ partnership.
Bianchi, in a recent episode of The Teardown, revealed that Cliff Daniels, Larson’s Crew chief, played an instrumental part in the latter’s successful campaign in 2024.While explaining how Daniels helped Larson push his limits at Sonoma, Bianchi said:
“He (Cliff Daniels) looked at the situation, assessed it, and said, ‘I’m gonna give my driver four fresh tires in a late situation with 20-27 laps to go and he’s got an eight-second gap…my guy can do that.’ And that’s exactly what happened. I think that is why this team is so good.”
He added:
“Larson is at his best when he is in attack mode and can just focus forward and just go after it.You are just in attack mode. I think that is the genesis of what makes this team so good.”
Larson, with his Sonoma victory, secured his 26th career win. With this, the #5 driver took himself closer to the NASCAR playoffs. The Hendrick Motorsports driver is currently leading the standings with 561 points, ahead of Chase Elliott in 547 points, and Denny Hamlin in 535 points
