Larson's remarkable career spans multiple racing disciplines, showcasing his exceptional talent as a 'wheelman' in NASCAR, Midget, Sprint Car, Late Model, and IndyCar racing. After dominating dirt track racing, he entered NASCAR in 2012 and quickly established himself as a premier driver.
His breakthrough came in 2021 with Hendrick Motorsports, where he secured 10 NASCAR Cup Series victories and the championship in the No. 5 HendrickCars.com Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. That same year, he led 2,581 laps—the most since Jeff Gordon's 2,610 in 1995—and claimed victories in prestigious dirt track events including the Chili Bowl, Kings Royal, Prairie Dirt Classic, and Knoxville Nationals.
Larson continued his success with three wins in 2022 and four more in 2023, finishing as championship runner-up. He also launched the High Limit Racing Sprint Car Series, which expanded to a 60-race nationwide schedule in 2024.
In 2024, Larson attempted the ambitious Indianapolis 500-Charlotte 600 double, aiming to become the fifth driver to complete 1,100 miles of racing in one day. Despite weather delays affecting his attempt, with an 18th-place finish at Indianapolis and missing the Charlotte race, the effort generated significant interest in a potential 2025 retry.
The 5th Annual Race Industry Week is free to attend and is presented by EPARTRADE, RACER, and SPEED SPORT.
