DOVER, DEL. — Kyle Larson made a quick Zoom stop Saturday before he zipped off to his latest sprint-car race: the NASCAR star had to say hello to the students at the Urban Youth Racing School.
Larson’s road back to NASCAR after he was suspended last season for using a slur during an iRacing event can be traced in large part back to his heavy involvement with UYRS. The Philly-based program that creates opportunities in racing for minorities extended an olive branch last year to Larson and a fast friendship was formed with program founders Anthony and Michelle Martin.
