Kyle Larson is the defending NASCAR Cup Series champ. He’s already earned a win and locked himself into the 2022 playoffs. The rest of his Hendrick Motorsports teammates are postseason-bound as well, with each driver also securing victory just a third of the way through the season.
This week Larson appeared on NASCAR Race Hub, where he talked about his season, the organization’s performance as a whole, and what he expects going forward. He also revealed an interesting bit of intel about the organization that should be very concerning to the other teams in the garage. And the numbers back it up.
Kyle Larson reveals intriguing bit of info on Hendrick Motorsports
Kyle Larson’s appearance on NASCAR Race Hub this week consisted of the expected questions, including what he thought of William Byron’s incident with Joey Logano at Darlington (more on that later). However, when David Ragan asked him about the dynamic of how the HMS teams all work together, Larson provided an interesting bit of information that doesn’t bode well for the Cup Series competition the rest of 2022.
“I’ve only come from a team with myself and one other teammate before, so being at Hendrick Motorsports four-car team has been a little bit unique to what I was used to before, but I feel like we’re all young, we all get along, we all work really hard and really want to see each other succeed and win if we can’t win,” Larson said.
“I’m genuinely happy for any of my teammates who gets a win. William has been doing a great job. All of us have been doing a great job. Chase. Alex. We all got a win. All the mechanics and crew chiefs work really well together. You know I’ve only been here a little over a year but from what I understand this is as close as these teams have ever worked together and I think that definitely pays in the results that we have each weekend. So we just got to keep working like we are together and I think we should be able to win some more championships down the road as an organization.”
