Suspended Driver Kyle Larson remains keen in a NASCAR comeback, though he stated he hasn’t explored the options for a return to stock cars.
“Well, I’ve been so busy just racing pretty much every day of the week that I haven’t even had time to work on anything, but I would love an opportunity if it came,” He said in a interview MRN Winged Nation
Kyle Larson has focused solely on dirt racing since his indefinitely suspension by NASCAR and losing his contact at Chip Ganassi Racing for using a racial slur during an iRacing event back in April.
He currently has 20 victories in 34 starts with a worst finish of sixth while dominating through Pennsylvania, Ohio & several other states to race in various sprint car series and some USAC midget events.
Bubba Wallace makes statement on controversial Kyle Larson incident
“There’s a lot to weigh and stuff, and there’s nothing that’s come up, either, so I haven’t had to make too many tough decisions or anything like that,” said Larson, who will turn 28 Friday. “But definitely if the opportunity was there, I’d love to give it a shot to get back and prove to the NASCAR world that I am a great race car driver, and I know if I got the right opportunity, I could win a lot of races like I am right now.”
As only one of the drivers of Stewart-Haas Racing is under contract after the 2020 season, Kyle Larson seems a viable option to replace one of the drivers if his suspension is lifted.
If I was kyle larson I wouldn’t return to nascar after what they did I donot think he needs the money. I think he has been enjoying him self and how he has been wining and spending so much more time with his family and the fan interaction
I think he’s a great racer if I had a team I’d look at him real hard!!!
Give him a break he made a miss take he’s great driver let him race get that baba out.
my thoughts on this everyone has slipped and said something totally out of context and it happens if there had been something behind it id say no he shouldn’t be given a chance but come on let the boy race
To your comment…”the boy is racing and winning”… Stay away from Nascar!!!!
He enjoyed the money from Nascar. No money in dirt racing. If you win alot like he dose, you can make a living, but that’s about it. Not anywhere close to what he was making in Nascar.
If Kyle were to tattoo “nascar” on one cheek and “blm” on the other, nascar might in their benevolence see it clear to re-instate him. He could possibly be their new poster boy instead of Bubba. He is probably better off where he’s at–he’s having fun, winning and has very few ***** to kiss.
WELL I AM SURE KYLE LARSON ISNT THE FIRST GUY TO OPEN HIS MOUTH AND STICK HIS FOOT IN IT., AND HE WILL NOT BE THE LAST ONE. BUT THIS GUY IS A GOOD DRIVER,WHY DIDNT HE GET A WARNING, FOR WHAT EVER HE DID TO BUBBA.HE IS STILL A GOOD DRIVER,HE WASNT SOMEBODY THAT GOT MAD AND TOOK YOU OUT.GOT SOMETHING TO SAY, GO FACE TO FACE.DIDNT BET UP RACE CARS, CLEAN DRIVER,AND YED I AM A KYLE LAWSON FAN, AND YES I MISS HIM AND I THINK ITS CRAZY THIS GUY CANT RACE BECAUSE NASCAR SAID SO.NOBODY IS PERFECT, NOT EVEN BUBBA,COME ON GET YOUR BIG BOY PANTS ON AND BE A MAN GUYS.I DONT TAKE HIM AS A *** KISSER. BUT THIS ISW CRAZY, NASCAR IS GOING TO SHIT ANDPEOPLE ARE GOING TO FIND SOMETHING BETTER TO WATCH, GROW UP GUYS GIVE KYLE IS JOB BACK., JUST CRAZY. KIM HARRIS JUST A KYLE LARSON FAN LOVE YOU KYLE.
offhand slanderous comments even in a joking not serious manner is serious… too early for ANY talk of a return…
You never said anything *****? Give this kid a break he made ONE mistake and everyone wants his head. * NASCAR for dumping him. Their product today sucks especially without a driver like him.
I think they should allow Kyle back everyone makes mistakes that’s how you grow and learn
Let him back he’s a great driver and person
Dennis Plaster, I agree country is world we live in has gone so soft!!!
Well, if he’s going to win so many races why didn’t he before? Tooting his horn a little loudly I ? think
The only ****** in the sport right now is Jussie Bubba
Are we prejudiced
Bring Larson back and get rid of Bubba. PROBLEM SOLVED
I may watch nascar again if they reinstate Larson
Dennis Plaster you are 100% correct!
These are the same fans who turned on the Dixie Chicks for having an opinion several years back, right, squashing their blossoming careers? Thought so. He should get a second chance for sure, but I don’t hear any regret or remorse coming from him, and that more than anything will keep him out
Kyle should not have to beg. NASCAR wants to be a social judgement organization rather than a race sanctioning body.
That conversation was on a PRIVATE channel between the driver and spotter… It’s unjust what’s happening to Larson….
Put him on a top notch team and he will be awsum everyone makes mistakes give him a break it’s crazy one little mistake and to be punished like that suspended wow
Ever driver I’m sure has made a coment someone would not like so are all get the boot?
Must be nice to have never made a mistake. How’s the air up there in the land of the perfect? Not defending the action… but I know damn well that if it weren’t for 2nd chances no successful person would be where they are in life. Obviously you are the exception to that…
**** nascar
So tell me in your whole life you’ve never said something that was ***** HA HA Bet NOT.
Hope he is allowed to come back and show his old car owner what a mistake he made by letting him go.
Don’t think they should lift *****, he said it, he should pay the price, anybody else would have to deal with it, why not him.
*******if you ask me, only happen again.
He has paid the price!! Bubba has done even worse with BLM and Rebel flag!! He’s ruining NASCAR
Stay where your at and enjoy your raceing. NASCAR won’t be around much longer anyway. Did you look at the stands last year, empty. You made a mistake and your boss through you to the wolves for money. I guess his car dealership isn’t doing very well either. Don’t know that for sure. *— NASCAR .
Mike every one gets a nother chance if not we would not have any drivers or crews can we name a few who hit his wife who took drugs even you Mike are a sinner
I’m sure you’ve never done anything wrong in your life time he’s shown remorse for his mistake
bubba Wallace is ruining NASCAR he should be taken out of a car because he’s *****. I wanted to stay he’s going to make nice car go by blaming people is not going to watch it with that a
Don’t be so *****
Three is supposed to be free speech in the United States, why in the hell should a man lose a job for saying a word someone doesn’t like. Niggers have been niggers for 150 years, why should it change now?
And you just proved you’re a R *****.
Who in this world is perfect, and had not said something they regretted? Can any of the France family say they haven’t? How about Bubba Wallace? Kyle deserves a second chance people!
You absolutely correct! Only smart comment on here!!
He certainly got more class than bubba Wallace Now I guess you can suspend me!!!
Larson and the Confederate flag belong back in Nascar. I work in construction, along with many varied nationally kinds of people. these have my respect and support. Unfortunately, I work in Memphis which has a surplus of *****.
Let Him Come Back !!!
He sa8d nothing more than what Wallace had called him before. I’m sure Wallace has used the ***** more than once toward the ****drivers. The blacks call each other ****** every day and he’ll I’m white and I get called it about it everyday. Nothing but a slang word and people push it for money. It’s a b7nch of bull. Wallace is not ***** anyway he has a ***** dad but to show him his funding would be cut. My Thoughts , Thank You
NASCAR would be ***** not to let him back in.
I know for a fact you are the very best out there Kyle Larson don’t care if nascar or dirt you do an awesome job buddy !!!! But I think I would’ve threw in a few championships too !!!!!! Just sayin
They should, everyone makes mistakes. let the person who hasn’t made any mistakes throw the first stone like the Bible says!!
Kyle Larson could fit in with any team. Just give him a pre-dinged car and send him out on the track.
He could replace Jimmy Johnson next year!
He could replace Jimmy Johnson next year!
I say lift the ban and let him race You put him in timeout it’s time to let him come back
Food for thought………..Richard Petty would not let a BEER Co. sponsor his Race car………………
It all right too be called Uncle Tom or Honky if you are white but to use the N word you can lose your lively hood. Even if said in a joking matter or privacy of your own conversation with someone. Blacks call fellow Black’s the “N” word all the time when they have disagreements.
It were ****** bubba said it none would have said a word about it
Kyle Larson…..everyone needs a second chance, hope you go to Stewart Hass Racing love to see you in a FORD now Nascar don’t screw this up, don’t let one of the best young drivers just go away because of a mistake, Nascar you’ve already screwed up bad enough don’t mess this up……Stand up a little.
NASCAR has destroyed itself and continues to do so even more with stuff like this. He made a mistake and said something that he is not supposed to say but others can say it and sing about it but for Larson he cant say it. Nascar is so wrong for suspending him for saying a word.
If I were Larson I wouldn’t give NASCAR the time of day especially Chip Ganassi. He is a great driver in any type of car and should stay where he is happy and respected.
if **** boy bubba were to say **** cracker would he be supended
Let him race he is one of the best
Stay where you are nascar is nothing more than a joke I’ve always watched nascar forever but last few years is a joke you are racing in the best stuff in the country I know cause we are doing it every weekend local tracks is where real racers are appreciated much love best of luck
Who cares about Nascar anymore.
Find out where your local tracks are.
Support your home town racers.
nascar is no different than the NBA OR MLB OR FCC ETC.
Wasn’t it Kurt Busch that beat the **** out of his wife some years ago, and was suspended. What’s worse, That or the word. Larson is gonna end up running for Stewart/Haas. Steward loves sprint cars and this setup would most likely allow Larson to run both sprinters and NASCAR. The part of this that I don’t understand is how ***** people can use the word in every other sentence and think nothing of it, and when its used by anyone ***** or not of *****, the s……hits the fan.
That was his girl friend and it turned out she was crazy as hell and she made everything up and was Exposed for her lies and yes nascar viewed him guilty before proven innocent
I think she’s in prison now for stealing from a charity she worked for
If i remember correctly Kurt was Acquitted on charges. The claims were not validated and shortly after she was exposed for many things and sent to prison.
People there’s n…… in every race, people need to learn the meaning of the word. It’s a dirty and uncultured person. This world needs to get past a word and concentrate on reading history.
Nascar is as good as dead
I think the kid should race this country has turned in to a ***+
Richard Petty should give Kyle Larson a ride
Would love to see him back in Nascar and drive the number 48 to replace Jimmie when he retires.
Jesus said forgiveness is Devine, just because others want to be politically correct and are afraid to say what they really want to. I say
Forgive him and let him race ,the bigger *****
Are the ones that can’t forgive or they are just afraid that he’s going to win more races then them.
So, if I understand this fully, Bubba Wallace made a ***** comment in anger against a ***** woman- was fined- and life went on as usual. Kyle Larson made a ***** comment – in jest- with a team member and lost his job indefinitely. Do I have that right?
I would not blame Kyle if he told NASCAR just where to stick it If Bill France was still here it would damn
sure be difference…. Ron Maynard, was a NASCAR FAN SINCE THE 1960’S………
There is a difference between saying the word and using the word.
Stay were you are you will be happier I have been into nascar all my life and I hate to say it but ever since dale passed the sport has gone right into the toilet to many bad decisions by nascar on were to take the sport I only turn it on now to take a nap and now that they are all totally pc and trying to wipe out where they came from might just start watching drag racing
Like seriously so what if the kid said the word and all you hear about is BLM. So I’m supposed to tell my Kids that their lives don’t matter cause their not **** GTF out of here
get real everyone makes mistakes who are you to judge
NASCAR needs to provide a road back for this young man ( Kyle Larson) that made a mistake. Much of Nascar runs on Christian principles. A plan of redemption and grace would be the appropriate thing to do.
Cancel Culture at it’s finest while NASCAR jams BLM down fans throats. BYE BYE !!!
Well said !
Nascar is boring, the racing is 98% boring unless 2 guys are racing the last 5 laps door to door. An A Main at Knoxville there is nothing better. About 5 years ago I watch KL and Brad put on a show on this dirt track in Western ohio. Have been a fan since them. Hope he never goes back to boring nascar.
Kyle never go back in life go foward. Go to indy cars they are comming back in a big way.Nascar is run by *******.
This young man was part of NASCAR’s diversity program. He is Eurasian, Japanese and American, why cain’t we just move on. If someone said ” Gook”, “Slope”, Slant eye” or ” Jap” would all this shit be flying? Just saying stoking the fire does not help.
If Kyle is wise he would not return to Nascar but instead race in Tony Stewart and Ray Everinghams new series next year. Just keep doing what he is doing for now!!
No its not that serious! If you yourself have never made a single mistake, never said something inappropriate in a joking manner, or never regretted saying something then perhaps you can say that and congrats on being the only perfect person in the history of the world!! I’ve spent my life at racetracks involved in many aspects of the racing business and I can tell you it is absolutely one of the least ****** places in the world. Noone gets offended, its safe, fun, welcoming and respectful to all. Even an atheist would respectfully bow their head and be silent during the prayer out of respect for others. I csn tell you the pit area is no place for uptight, mundane, easily offended folks. So many people are so Hypocritical acting perfect putting on a show in front of others, and majority of the time those people are truly the worst people. Was it unprofessional yes, however he was not in a professional situation and what was thought to be in a private conversation. Other’s can completely disagree with him and they can be right because we are supposed to be a free country although many are fighting to take that away. If you choose to not like him for it great! That’s your right and I support your right to an opinion however your opinion should not dictate what a car owner or sanctioney body does. You can choose to cheer against him! Race doesn’t matter in racing, if you can win those large purses you will get the job. At one point in time that was not a racist word. How can it be okay for one race to use the word but not another. That is racist. Our current society is creating ***** by twisting everything into it. There is no true racism and what happened in the 1800’s was wrong. We can all 100% look back and agree it was horrible and wrong, but it was the norm then and it wasn’t just African Americans it started with thr Irish and noone alive today knows anyone who knew anyone that had anything to do with it. Everyone needs to quit being so offended and worry about themselves!
Why don’t they just leave Kyle alone.He did not say anything that meant anything.Bubba Wallace can bite the big one.And Richard Petty is not any better.
Replace Bowyer in the 14 car
So what about Nick Cannon. He didn’t get fired our anything.
Let Kyle Larson back in NASCAR, he is a crowd drawer. I loved watching him drive!
He,s the best they ever seem but backdoor $$$$ will keep him out. Sporr is stil corrupted
Absolutly correct…its okay to say and do what ever you want if you’re *****. There I said it for you. WLM too.
And a FLAG is just a FLAG. Maybe he actually needed to learn the HISTORY of the Confederate Flag instead of running his big mouth. He has ruined the Petty Legacy for long time “SMASHCAR” fans.
A total overreaction!! He apologized, Until we stop hearing that word in music all the time and in public places where it doesn’t seem to offend lots of *****, it honestly shouldn’t be this big of a deal. Bubba could have said it and it wouldn’t be a problem!! Hell, he did worse and got a personal sponsor deal out of it!! Are we a selective 1 strike and your out country now? Seems that way… Been a fan since 1972…. Done for now!!!
Kyle has served his time for saying something that is so controversial but yet used on daily bases by certain people. If the word offends people then it should be banned by EVERYONE not just selected people. Bring Kyle Larsen back! The sport needs him, especially Team Chevy!
Y’all are all over NASCAR for him losing his job. His sponsors fired him! They drive the bus. NASCAR will let him back, but who’s going to sponsor him now?
It was SUPPOSED TO BE ON A PRIVATE CHANNEL…. it was def public
I think the whole thing is ridiculous guy loses all that for saying something I have heard ***** people say all the time get real
His suspension was justified for a time but not for this long . Ive pretty much gave up on NASCAR haven’t watched a race for awhile and probably won’t until Kyle is back
Bring him back to drive the 43 they could use a winner.
Isn’t that kind of *****, not lifting his suspension.
BRING HIM BACK HE JUST SAID THE N WORD LOOK AT ALL THE TROUBLE BUBBA DONE HE IS A SORRY DRIVER
If I was him I tale NASCAR to stick bubby up there
Its a color. Thing. No guts nascar had addopted the flag banning 5 years earlyer never inacted it. Along comes the only half black driver in nascar. Who demanded the flag be removed from all events. Nascar jumped on the banning of the flag. Makeing bubba the bad ass. Nascar in now being run by many weak minded people. Why was this not inacted afew years back.
Could it be the loss of revenue would of hit you in your profit . Shame on you for allowing this to happen. Allowing a car with the blm logo on it was raciest as hell. For bubbd being half black and white his dam car should of read ALL LIVES MATTER period. Also weak minded nascar leaders your harsh action on kyle larson is just another dumbass move on your part. With the flag- kyle larson stunt hows your profit now? ??? with nascar!!!!
Kyle stay where you are Nascar’s gone down the the drain3
I think NASCAR should allow Kyle to come back to racing.He is a great driver.So he made a bad choice in his words,but am sure Wallace has said some pretty ugly things also ,NASCAR just has not caught him yet.Kyle works hard at racing and I think NASCAR was just to hard on this young man.Nascar needs Kyle Larson.
I believe that what has happened to this man is way out of context!! Should have been a suspension. NOT A TERMINATION !!! NASCAR needs to give this man another chance. Awesome driver and competitor!!! WWJS… Forgive!!! As for the flag. They are not waved to make a statement against ***** . It’s part of American history, Just as what’s happening today will one day be history ,….
Who cares anymore. Been going to Nascar races since I was ten yrs old at Darlington. The races suck except restarts and last 30 laps. Has lost its roots. Racing is for people who can bring sponsors not who is the best driver anymore. Danica Patrick and Paul Menard are some of them. Days of old was great racing when stock cars where real not designed by Nascar. oh yeah I am now 64
Says my comment is awaiting moderation does that mean it has to be approved by Nascar
I haven’t watch NASCAR since they booted Larson! and since they banded the confederate flag . I will not watch NASCAR any more! I have been a fan since the late 60s ! Sorry to say that NASCAR is going to lose their *** over this ****!
After everything that NASCAR has done in the past couple months has ruined the series. Soooooo many people have stopped watching NASCAR because of all of the stuff that’s happened with NASCAR, it all started with Larson for a ***** reason. NASCAR is DEAD!!!!
Must be nice to have never made a mistake. How’s the air up there in the land of the perfect? Not defending the action… but I know damn well that if it weren’t for 2nd chances no successful person would be where they are in life. Obviously you are the exception to that…
