The Kyle Larson Foundation visor auction for Urban Youth Racing School is making its return, featuring autographed racing shields from top drivers in both NASCAR and INDYCAR, with all proceeds aimed at advancing motorsports STEM education in Philadelphia. The event brings together renowned names like Kyle Larson himself as the foundation collaborates once more with chevrolet/”>Chevrolet and Pristine Auction, gathering support from 48 Team Chevy drivers spanning the NASCAR Cup Series, NASCAR Xfinity Series, and INDYCAR.
Collaborative Efforts Expand Charitable Impact
This year’s initiative echoes Kyle Larson’s ambitious spirit, as he tackles “The Double”—competing in races at both Indianapolis and Charlotte totaling 1,100 miles in one day—while also expanding the foundation’s charitable reach. Each visor, donated for the event, will be signed by both Kyle Larson and the participating Team Chevy driver, making every piece distinctive. Last year’s auction proved highly successful and, reflecting on its growth, Larson remarked:
“Last year’s visor auction was such a success, and we are excited to do it again and to include the INDYCAR teams this year,”
NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Larson stated.
“A big thank you to my partners at Pristine Auction, Chevrolet, and all the drivers participating in this program to help support my friends at the Urban Youth Racing School.”
—Kyle Larson, NASCAR Cup Series Champion
