This year's NASCAR season drew various debates and reactions. Joey Logano is the NASCAR Cup Series winner. Although many didn't expect the season to go this way, the great NASCAR driver managed to do great things in the playoffs, and according to many, he deservedly won. An interesting name, just like every season, is Kyle Larson, from whom much was expected.
In an interview with Racer, the 32-year-old driver marked the season behind us as great, happy with the performance of the team. Although he wanted to take a step further and fight for the championship, Larson ultimately failed to do so. Kyle didn't forget to mention the NASCAR format, which caused controversy and different reactions
“It was a great year. Yeah, I was super, super happy with the performance of our race team all year long,” Larson said.
“We had a ton of speed from race one to race 38, really. Yeah, I was happy. Obviously you want to make the final four and have a shot at the championship but at the same point, like, I also understand the format and know kind of how crazy it can be and all that. So, I don’t let finishing sixth in points take anything away from our season."
Kyle Larson reacts to the season behind us
Kyle Larson expressed his satisfaction with the successful season, believing that his team had one of the best if not the best, season. He emphasized that they dominated in most statistical categories, which is an indicator of their excellent results during the year. Larson and the rest of the team were maximally focused and determined to make a positive result. Larson is a great weapon of this team and an individual who can really make a difference on NASCAR tracks. The 32-year-old shared pride in the team for their hard work and dedication.
However, Kyle is aware that there were opportunities they didn't capitalize on and perhaps could have achieved even better results. Fans of NASCAR, especially Larson's team, know very well which races we are talking about. In some moments, it seemed that more luck was missing, and sometimes it looked like its drivers' mistakes.
Regardless of the development of the situation this season, Larson is optimistic about the next season, believing that the team will continue to grow and develop, wanting to go in the right direction.
The popular NASCAR driver is looking forward to the new challenges and opportunities ahead, as he's eager to see how the new competition format will affect his team. Some believe that the new format will change a lot. It will be interesting to see who will do the best. NASCAR has never had this many talented drivers, with many names that could compete for the very top.
This year, Joey Logano managed to be someone who was a step ahead of everyone else, but next season, Kyle Larson wants to become that one.
His message is that they are ready for new successes, including race wins and dominance on NASCAR tracks. Hendrick Motorsport has high hopes for the 32-year-old, who shows amazing progress from season to season. It'll be quite special to see how much Kyle can provide in 2025.
Kyle Larson's interesting goals for 2025
Kyle Larson had the opportunity to debut in the Indy Charlotte Double this year. Many were impressed by his performance and finding his way into a new role. Not long after that, the 32-year-old flew to Charlotte, however, he was surprised to learn that the race was red-flagged due to inclement weather. This created great problems for him and debates about what could happen, given that he missed the regular race.
Fortunately for him, a few days later, although there was some skepticism, Larson received a waiver.
Despite everything that happened, the 32-year-old is still hungry to do the feat, happy with the months behind him and what he has shown. Kyle admitted that he enjoyed May, but was disappointed that he couldn't compete in the Coca-Cola 600. Next year, Larson will be just as motivated to make it a success, and we'll see if he succeeds in that.
We hope he doesn't create a problem for himself this time.
“I really enjoyed the month of May in Indy and racing with Arrow McLaren, but I was really disappointed with missing the Coca-Cola 600 with the No. 5 HendrickCars.com team. I appreciate the second opportunity because we have unfinished business. I really want to complete all 1100 miles, and I think we have the opportunity to battle for the win in both events," Larson said via McLaren.
