Kyle Larson doesn’t see himself competing in NASCAR past age 40

This isn’t a huge deviation from anything Kyle Larson has said before, but the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series champion still doesn’t see himself racing full-time in Stock Cars past hid 30s.

He reiterated the point when asked about it on the Kenny Wallace Show this week, with the now 31-year-old maintaining that he has a love for NASCAR but also wants to devote his later prime competitive years to achieving other goals.

“It’s hard to say,” Larson said. “Sitting here right now, I don’t see myself going to 40. But that’s not me retiring from racing. I think I’m different than others. Kevin is retiring not from full-time racing but he has the plan to go into the (television) booth.”
