Kyle Larson has a strong opinion about NASCAR tracks that deserve two dates.
The schedule for the 2025 NASCAR Cup season is yet to be revealed, and racing enthusiasts are eager for the surprises that await them. One of the many questions that is troubling the racing community is which tracks will lose their second Cup date.
The 2021 NASCAR Cup Series champion has his answer to that. During a recent social media interaction via X with fans, the driver of the No. 5 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports pointed out that, in his opinion, no track besides Bristol Motor Speedway deserves a second Cup date.
Any track that has 2 dates, except Bristol 😬 https://t.co/8WpBJvo6kt
Bristol Motor Speedway hosted the best Cup Series race of the 2024 season on its concrete surface. The Food City 500 witnessed tire degradation causing significant differences, and Larson’s biggest competitor on the track, Denny Hamlin, claimed the victory while the HMS driver finished in P5.
Larson is entering this weekend’s race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway hoping to make amends. An accident at Iowa Speedway last week cost him the win, as he had the fastest car of the day and was consistently performing well throughout the day.
However, it won’t be an easy task, as Larson himself admitted that the race at NHMS would be demanding for him. He emphasized that the irregularities and bumps are the main concerns for the drivers on the upcoming Sunday. The Chevrolet driver stated that he is prepared for the challenge that the track presents.
The 2024 season so far has been impressive for Kyle Larson, as he has already achieved three victories and is one of the favorites for the championship. His main focus in New Hampshire is not only to secure a win, but also to claim the top spot in the points standings.
