Recognized as one of motorsport's most versatile drivers, Larson has demonstrated exceptional skill across NASCAR, Midget, Sprint Car, Late Model, and IndyCar racing. His remarkable journey began in dirt track racing before making his NASCAR debut in 2012.

Larson's career peaked in 2021 with Hendrick Motorsports, winning 10 NASCAR Cup Series races and the All-Star Race en route to the championship. His 2,581 laps led that year marked the highest total since Jeff Gordon's 2,610 in 1995.

The same year, Larson achieved an unprecedented feat by winning major dirt track events including the Chili Bowl, Kings Royal, Prairie Dirt Classic, and Knoxville Nationals. He continued his success with three victories in 2022 and finished as championship runner-up in 2023 with four wins.

In 2023, Larson launched the High Limit Racing Sprint Car Series, which expanded to a 60-race nationwide schedule in 2024. He also attempted the prestigious Indianapolis 500-Charlotte 600 double in 2024, finishing 18th at Indianapolis despite weather delays that affected his participation in the Charlotte race.

Race Industry Week is a free event presented by EPARTRADE, RACER, and SPEED SPORT.
