- We talk about Kyle Larson's rise to fame, his fall from grace and his road back.
A resident of Elk Grove, California, Larson attended his first race with his parents a week after his birth. He began racing at the age of seven in outlaw karts in Northern California. As a teenager, he raced open-wheel cars, including United States Auto Club (USAC) midget, Silver Crown and sprint cars, competing for Keith Kunz Motorsports and Hoffman Racing with Toyota backing; He also raced in World of Outlaws sprint cars. His first sprint car race win came at Placerville Speedway, where he was one of the youngest drivers to ever compete. He won the 2011 4-Crown Nationals at Eldora Speedway, winning in all three types of USAC cars in a single night, only the second driver in history to accomplish the feat. He won two Silver Crown races that season and was awarded the series' 2011 Rookie of the Year. He holds the sprint car track record at Ocean Speedway in Watsonville, California, set in 2010. In 2012, he won six USAC National Midget races including the Turkey Night Grand Prix. Even during his stock car career, Larson continued racing open-wheel cars for midweek races in addition to going to New Zealand in some off-seasons to race.

HE DID IT!
And now, we see what he can do for the future! Here's to hoping for more than one with Larson! Thank you to Rick Hendrick for giving Larson a second shot at his dream!
@@harclos484 Oh he definitely has the skill to be up there with the greats
Mr. Hendrick is probably the best person in the world to help Kyle come back from a terrible mistake. His class and humility is second to none. Kyle Larson is seriously the most talented overall racecar driver since Tony Stewart. This is gonna be fun to watch!
Who’s here after Larson DOMINATED the chili bowl???????????
And the Coca Cola 600! Number 5 LETS GO
Let's make it an even 10 for the season with SMI Phoenix, and a cup
I’m telling everyone right now, he makes some great videos and this channel is going to grow tremendously
I appreciate, Benny. We’re so close to 1k subs.
Agreed!
@@fivewidesports you hit 1k :)
@@skiess955 Pumped!
@@fivewidesports and look now, almost to 9k!! Favorite channel on CZcams! Great work
Jeff Gordon and Mario Andretti say that he’s good
Let me say that again, Jeff Gordon, and Mario Andretti, say that he’s good
When two legends say you’re good, you’re more than good
"Larson has just set himself up for possibly the greatest career resurgence ever. He has cup titles with his name practically wrote on them already at this point." If only we all knew how 2021 was gonna go for Larson.. So far it's been wild watching him practically put everyone else in the dust.
Hopefully he brings more history to the 5.
Oh he definitely will
Just did, gave Hendrick most wins in Nascar last night
he dang sure did yesterday… one of the only two people to ever win 3 races in a row twice in the same season since Dale Earnhardt 1987 🤟🏻🤟🏻
As much as I want to see Larson come back to NASCAR and continue his legendary career, his presence in dirt cars has been every bit as legendary!
This dude made a Chip Ganassi car look like a championship car week after week....imagine what he can do with Hendrick
Cant wait to see Larson back on the track in Daytona
The new Kyle Larson is more than shacking up the NASCAR series, he is doing what we all knew he was capable of ,and good for him, the fans like me are finally rewarded for staying with Kyle. Thank You Father GOD last but not least!
i think larson if full of motivation this upcoming season, he has something to prove now that he has a top tier ride in hendrick.
GO LARSON
God reached down and gave him the it factor in racing!!!
@@melturnboo4205 Sadly he ended up on CGR and now in hendrick he is a star in tha making
@@Cee_Kaye12 Without a doubt buddy! His career just getting started with Hendrick!!
@@Cee_Kaye12 the dude is already a star among motorsports fans lol
@@acog_quarks8753 yeah but not the likes of chase, kyle or harvick
I love Kyle Larson, I know he didn’t mean too say that, like I bet some people said it once or twice but all in all Kyle Larson is underrated and should get more love not hate
It's a word..... People are so soft OMG
i was actually at that autoclub race in 2017. you would not believe the crowds reaction when he won that race, myself included. that is one of my dearest memories
I couldn’t imagine being there
Been keeping an eye on this channel the last couple weeks. Amazing content. I've been waiting for another CZcamsr on the level of slap or brock beard. Keep it up man.
Thanks, man. We’re gonna keep grinding.
He will do great at Hendrick, i can feel it!
Your comment is aging well so far.
@@richieosborn2639 Hopefully he wins the championship!
@@RockTuner HE FREAKING DID!!! 😄🎉🏁🏆
he's been kicking ass ever since he got in better equipment, I haven't had a favorite driver since Dale Jr. I'm definitely a fan of his now.
Fun fact the guy who smashed the 42 car now bought a number 5 car
His first win dedicated to Bryan Clausen makes me tear up.
Every time 🥺
Who's that guy
He’s 5’6 btw so as a fellow short guy I have to cheer for him lol
He’s a maggot also
As a fellow Asian guy, I gotta root for him and his passion
Lets Hope He Brings The 5 Car Back To Victory Lane
Not only that but won the title...
I was shocked and happy to here that Jeff Gordon ask for Larson to drive for Hendrick racing team.
Five Wide? More like I'm gonna subscribe! Great video man
Thanks, Samuel!
This channel is as good as Kyle Larson. Spoiler alert. He's REALLY good.
After Sundays race, man... this guy can still be the face of nascar in the future. He is fun to watch.
I Loved being in attendance to see his first win! Then was there in 2017 when he won again! Huge Larson fan!
These videos... you are awesome at this. Please, do not stop.
He's still so very young and yet he's high on my list of all time favorite/great drivers. I've always believed, that despite his faux pas last spring, Kyle Larson has always shown a high moral character. Take note; @7:37 the first thing Kyle said was remembering his "old" friend Brian Clausen as well as using the phrase which Brian made famous "we parked it for him." I hope the racing nation would join me when I say "Kyle, let go, let God" and continue on your path to Racing Greatness. PS; I really loved your video and the way you rapped it up! Nicely done.
Thanks Tim!
Crazy, we give so much power to a single word
Man I'm so glad to hear someone else say that it's like very few of us have that line of thinking.
Underrated!! 100% earned my subscription! Good job man!
Thank you, Cory!
Lol underrated. Keep talking shit for likes.
Thank you guys so much for 1000 subs!
This is a good chance to reprove himself, and has more teammates to talk to
You deserve way more subscribers than just 1000. Keep putting out the great content.
Would you be willing to put in the work to make a redemption video now. Clips of last year and this year's dirt, plus the Nascar wins obviously. You do good work. I don't have the resources nor skill.
You where spot on and I knew this would happen tearing up nascar in a Hendrick car
this channel is great, keep up the good work man, I love your videos
We will. Thank you!
@five wide sports please do a video on Jimmie Johnson’s Career please this would be so good.
Great video well made! I became a fan of Larson when he won at Rockingham. Always will be!
Watched this kid ever since he won his first sprint car race at placerville speedway! He was 15 and talent this kid has is crazy!!!!
This was awesome man, great work!
Thank you!
Without a doubt he can win in anything he drives and he's proved it...... Pure talent!!
Absolutely
So I was going to go with Kyle Busch as my go to nascar driver since I've just started to get into nascar again and seen your video but I'm gonna go with Kyle Larson after watching this. Gonna check out some highlights and plus he is younger than some so I could say I was here for most of it. I see he is doing really well too. Who knows this could change again.
Your work deserves an Oscar, you are incredible at what you do. Can’t stop watching.
Great video man! Would love to see a video on Keselowski! Keep up the good work!
GOAT nascar CZcams channel
Another great video! Very well done. Editing and music is top notch!
Thanks, Rob!
I like how he almost entirely benefited from the incident
Rappers who say the N word religiously get sponsored all the time, Kyle Larson says it not knowing he is being streamed and gets black listed... I am rooting for him in 2021!
there's an obvious difference in that lol
Kyle's family bought my championship kart and I'm glad he put it to good use he got to where he is.
Hey that’s actually awesome
Awesome video I watch you all the time!
great channel... Larson is an amazing driver. Probably the most talented we will see in our lifetime
Thank goodness that at least Hendricks has enough common sense to sign that kid up. Obviously Gnassi isn't so smart to just drop him that quickly.
It had nothing to do with "smarts". Larson's sponsors were dropping left & right, and a race team is extremely reliant on those sponsors for $$$. Hendrick Motorsports would've done the same thing.
Don't be so naive.
@@nascage Hendrick signed Larson without any sponsors lined up. Hendrick sees the future potential in this talented driver. No one can dispute Hendrick's track record of picking top notch talent.
@@artz9643 Larson is definitely a top talent ... no one is denying that. I just took issue with you saying Ganassi Racing lacked smarts because they dropped Larson. They really didn't have a choice. Any team would've done so, despite Larson's future potential. That's all I'm saying.
It'll be interesting to see who'll jump onboard the #5 as a sponsor. I don't see it initially being a household name sponsor.
@@nascage That's fine. We'll just have to agree to disagree. 🤷♂️
@@artz9643 Yep. Btw, I like Larson and wish nothing but the best for him. He made a huge mistake and has already slept in the bed he made, so to speak. It's time for us all to move on.
I'm looking forward to seeing him run the Chili Bowl this weekend.
Hey! 1k nice!
I love these types of videos great content can you do one like this on carl Edward's or Kasey kahne something thats similar to this one ?????
Awesome video!!!👍👍👍👍👍
Please keep making nascar vids. These are very good
Absolutely
Good Stuff! Larson future Nascar Champ! Hunting the Front #5
Damn...great video!
Thanks!
This is a well made video. Good content
Thank you!
This is a very emotional documentary coming from a Larson fan. I have been a fan of his since 2017 and when he said the n-word, I was so disappointed and angry at him and almost stopped supporting him all together but seeing what he has done over the last couple of months made me a believer in him again. Can't wait for the 2021 season!
That first win came right after the tragic passing of Brian Clauson.
HE HAS 1000 SUBSCRIBERS YES 🎉
Yes!!
I've been subbed since you had around 250-300 subs so I'm happy for you
@@murky_0115 Thank you!
You do great docs man!...gotta do something about the music on this one though, my only critique
Great documentary.
Many thanks!
Who tf Destroyed the Diecast, Those are expensive AF
GG to 1k subs 👍
Thank you for being one of them all the way in Germany!!
@@fivewidesports Yeah bro. No problem. I love racing and you explain soo much about this sport, that even i can understand the stuff behind it. I mean i watched some races here and there but its hard to follow the series here cause of the start times. Some races are at 3am here so its tough to see much of the races. But this year i will watch as many as i can and i hope that there will be many cool videos. So keep it up 👍 but always think about the words "quality over quantity"
Can’t wait for Kyle to pass the field on the high side in that Hedrick 5. Rick has the best lineup as far as salary to talent ratio and it will soon hold great dividends. Kyle is going to show them what talent can do in great equipment, 4 wins this year Bristol dirt Atlanta one of the two homestead and Kansas.
Lets check your predictions:
Bristol - Started on Pole, Finished 29th due to crash
Atlanta - Started 6th, Finished 2nd
Homestead #1 - Started 17th, Finished 4th
Kansas - Started 32nd, Finished 19th
BUT in the next 5 races since Kansas he got 3x 2nds then 2x Wins
So far in 2021:
16 Starts
4096 of 4291 laps completed (95.5%)
1162 lead laps (28.3%) of completed
569 fastest laps (13.9%) of completed
3 wins (18.8%)
11 Stage wins (35.5%)
9 Top5's (56.3%)
11 Top10's (68.8%)
Combined stats average 109/150 (72.6%)
2nd in Season Points 617 (47 points behind Denny Hamlin)
1st in Projected Playoff Points 2036 (13 ahead of Martin Truex Jnr)
@@DukeOfTwist lol how'd he do?
@@hacksawjimthuggin7411 Obviously right up there as a championship contender for Hendricks.
Ended up being the best thing he ever did.
This video aged like a fine wine
Go Larson!
Larson is gonna be my driver after harvick retires this year😢 i tell you what larson is one hell of a driver. He dominates behind any wheel
I agree
Just subbed
Thanks, Vinny
As a black nascar fan I was pretty hurt by the slur. So shocked in fact that I watched the video over 5 times. Though it was wrong I believe everyone deserves a second chance and he clearly has put in the work to repair his image. I hope he has incredible success in the future
Are you a fan of him or do you appreciate that he is back but approach with caution?
Good thing he didn’t voice any characters in Cars 3 because Disney would probably censor the movie and take his parts out after the incident happened
He called a buddy the slur, while not right... context does matter. He didnt deserve a 32 race suspension. M. Harrell of the Clippers called a white player slurs in a game in a hateful manner and never missed a minute. Double standards suck.
The fall will always lead to better days. It’s proven with Kyle larson
hailie deegan said it too i dont see her getting dropped...
She said Retard not the N word...
I’m here because he’s in the Championship 4 this year.
Im not crying you are
this aged well.
Larson’s like a mixture of Jeff Gordon and Tony Stewart. Hendrick was the best thing to ever happen to him.
Kyle Larson can and will redeem himself and that redemption has nothing to do with wins. I believe he is contrite.
He did it! He’s champion now!
LAR
SON
Should’ve updated the 5 in the intro to be Larson’s 5
The only reason larsonwas fired and suspended is because one driver made an issue about his comment . The same driver would rage quit while being paid to race in i racing.
Now it’s time to see who wins the most championships in the next 20 years. Larson or chase
Wow people destroyed his stuff after he said a word what crybabies
he was not fired from world of outlaws
I’ve raced with him on iracing, he should stick to real life lol.
Same with Chad Knaus
Kayle Lahrsen
Kyle would not have been in the lime light nothing would have ever become of the iracing incident. Am I saying it is right for him to speak like that ? NO. But is it right for anyone to use that language no matter the color of their skin or their race? NO It is bad no matter how you look at it, but at the same time people of African decent should also be held accountable for using the same word even when it is to each other. So if you are to call me out or anyone else for using the n-word then they should be called out as well. what is right for them is right for me and what is wrong for me is wrong for them. If you want to call me racist for telling the truth then do so. Otherwise I really don't care what people think I am only I know the truth there.
Forgive the man for what exactly?! Oh you mean for saying a word that ever black man in the rap world that make millions of dollars on their music say in every album they produce,give me a freaking break people. I dont have a racist bone in my body and would love to know why one race of people can feel free and ok to say one word but to the rest of the world it's the world's largest sin! I'm so over this shit every single time I hear about it.
I love nascar. I will never go to or watch a nascar race ! Larson was
That music bro holy crap
I spend about an hour alone trying to figure out the best music for a video.
Kyle has been in not all that good equipment his whole cup carrer I'm glad hes going to Hendrick Motorsports and I have confidence that he will win plenty of races this year hell maybe he might win the championship this year, you really never know
I wouldn’t be surprised to a see a championship 4 appearance this year at all.
Agreed I think that Larson has without a doubt made up for his mistake he proved that he was sorry for it and I think he will find sponsorship soon
Hailie Deegan just said a slur and has to do the same thing Larson did but only until the season begins.
Difference is her sponsors didnt leave her
Plus it was inappropriate slang vs racial slang that Larson used. Plus she already apologized for it. Put it to bed already

Hey the stupide German guy Again. I have some questions. Why do you guys start on dirt tracks? Here in europe we only drive on Tarmac. We stat at at age 5-6 with gokart racing and we stay on Tarmac. Is there any benefit from racing on dirt? Maybe you get a better car control?
Btw nice Video bro 👍👌
I think dirt provides a very large challenge since it’s hard to do well on it. Young drivers go to dirt to prove that they have talent in something incredibly challenging so they get noticed. I don’t know for sure, but that’s what I think.
I'll try answer this; I raced karts as a kid on circuits in Australia, never had an interest in ovals at that time as it was all just about formula 1 not NASCAR haha.
I havent had much experience on ovals, but a tiny bit.
It is because racing karts on circuits is just completely different to racing an oval, dirt oval racing is similar to tarmal oval racing.
I'll describe it, this is how dirt ovals and tarmac ovals are similar;
The way you make speed on an oval is unique, there is no apex to hit, and taking a wide line to the apex will just add more meters to your lap (a very very short lap), you are also not putting the absolute maximum load on the tyre throughout the radius of the turn. On an oval, you want to have 100% load on the tyres from turn in, to mid corner, and letting load bleed off natrually as you exit. That means your turn in speed, mid corner and exit speed are all maximised. Okay so now we know that, the optimal line through the turn should be consistent with the radius of the turn, to maximize the pressure on those tyres throughout the radius of the turn.
Oval tracks are very wide, through the turn, you could position your racing line as you please from the bottom to the top. Running the "low line" would be to run the car down the bottom of the corner, this is the shortest way around the track but also the corner will have the tightest radius. If you were to run the "high line" or the top of the track, you would have to travel further in your lap, but the radius of the turn is not as tight as down the bottom of the track. Theoretically, the more speed you could carry, but the further you need to go. I hope that makes sense.
Next up then, is racing lines and track conditions.
On an oval, no matter if it's tarmac or dirt, the optimal line around the turn is changing rapidly. To give examples of how this is on a tarmac circuit, different tarmac mixtures and surface finishes are intrinsic to the road base, there are many types of mixtures and surfaces on tarmac ovals, and they all react differently with the tyre. This itself doesn't change a lot, but how much oil breaks out of the surface of the tarmac base, how much rubber is being laid on the tarmac and where it is being laid.
Is the rubber on the surface sweating it's oils? is it damp? These are all factors that create changes in the optimal line, and even finer condition changes, track temperature being the most important, air temperature, air density etc have an effect on the optimal line. Car setup usually follows the line that it is most suited to on the day. Sometimes the difference is clear, and either the low or high line is a lot faster than the other, but for different cars, different setups, different conditions, the difference could be minescule between the low line and the high line.
On dirt tracks, well, you know how I said that on tarmac, the characteristics change rapidly?
Times that by 1000 and you have dirt track racing, dirt tracks can change so fast, that you could go through a turn once, and it will feel completely different 15 seconds later the second time you go through it...
Think of a dirt oval surface as clay (literally), this clay could come in any state, it could be dry, it could slightly damp and tacky, it could be completely soaked and look like slippery orange slime. As you can imagine, dry dusty clay and muddy clay sounds very slippery to drive on, let alone unpleasant. Obviously the fastest is the grippiest form of clay, the tacky damp clay. Every different dirt track has a different style of surface, and none of them really feel the same. They are all prepared differently, some are very well prepared and some are terribly prepared.
The real magic happens when you start racing 10-15 cars on the oval, you have cars flying through turns, spinning their rear wheels while trying to smash that rear tyre into the surface harder and harder to get optimal drive (grip).
You can imagine, on a dirt surface, that is going to change the characteristics of it quite a bit in just 1 lap, let alone 30 laps.
The optimal line is changing from bottom to top depending on how the surface is, the cars are constantly changing it.
So you can see, the way you make speed, and the ever changing track conditions are very similar between dirt ovals and tarmac ovals, for kids to grow up dirt oval racing, they become very adaptive drivers to their conditions, feeling where the grip is and where that optimal line would be on the oval. This is just invaluable experience when they go to tarmac ovals (I must imagine tarmac almost feels boring to them as they are so on top of what's going on).
Overtaking is pretty much the same philosophy between the two also, you can sacrifice exit speed for entry speed and vice versa but it becomes almost minescule on tarmac, it is very hard to stage an overtake on tarmac and usually utilises multiple different techniques to work together.
So I hope that helps you understand how different it really is driving around an oval compared to the racing on left and right hand turns and the relationship between dirt and tarmac ovals.
Hope you have fun watching oval racing!
Dirt gives you a unique ability and comfort in controlling the out of control. Cup cars move around a lot and require a good bit of correction to wrong every bit of speed out of them. Dirt is also the most popular hometown attraction so it’s just what people grow up doing. Randy Pobst actually has some arguments against kids going straight from cars with no suspension to race cars with suspension because they tend to setup the cars way too stiff and their feedback to the chassis guys is always making things stiff. Dirt relies heavily on suspension and making adjustments as track conditions and the tires develop. If you listen to radio chatter, a good driver can tell you they want more spring in one corner, more wedge, or less air pressure solely by feel.
@@user-me8hc3bs7i Yeah man this makes a lot of sence. Thank you for your explanation. We dont race on dirt here in europ (exept for demolition derbys or stuff like this) so its hard to understand for me why you drive on dirt. But the suspension thing makes a lot of sence. Thank you 👍
@@the_notorious_tj2600 Look up anything with Dale JR talking with Mark Martin. It's really eye opening to some of the wild setup stuff. Slapshoes on youtube also has a 5 part series on Mark Martin and the man is a setup wizard, really liked out of the box things.
Kyle didn’t need you anymore Chip Ganassi adios and good riddance.
Haha Kyle Larson is the champion that was actually a true blessing 🤣😊
should never have been suspended
Same racial slurs said in some communities & they’re okay with it being said, double standards for ya!
When you spend as much time as him in the Aussie dirt world, it's bound to rub off. The derogatory insults you sling at buddies in that part of the of the world has a completely different context there. Still no place here but I can assure you thats where it came from. Not saying it's ok or right, hopefully he can keep his nose clean.
I agree. He even stated that’s where he picked it up unfortunately.
This has to be satire?!? You pick up slurs like that by being a racist piece of shit.
@@dunnyzed6953
Not really but thanks for trying.
You need more notability
It’s coming. Thank you.
Kyle Larson deserved the 5 car and I forgive him for last year. Still, what he did last year was horrible but Kyle Larson did nothing compared to what one of the editors of Attack On Titan did, he killed his own wife.
