Nationwide Appearances Mark Larson’s Post-Championship Week
Originally, Larson had planned a trip to Cabo for Wednesday, but his celebration will have to wait.
“I was supposed to go to Cabo on Wednesday, but now I guess we’ll get there Thursday night,”
Kyle Larson joked with The Racing Experts. The champion’s obligations begin almost immediately, with scheduled events stretching from Scottsdale to New York City—similar to the experiences of previous NASCAR champions, according to NASCAR officials.
Larson’s responsibilities kick off on Monday, as he prepares to attend the NASCAR Awards Banquet in Scottsdale on Tuesday evening. In addition, a public appearance in New York is planned for later in the week. NASCAR has confirmed that more details about Larson’s itinerary will be released soon. Reflecting on his upcoming obligations, Larson acknowledged the demanding start to his week, saying
“That’s scary. Yeah, I think it is early (Monday). I know that. I don’t know how long (Monday) lasts,”
providing a glimpse into the intense pace facing the new champion.
Champion Credits Team Effort Led by Crew Chief Cliff Daniels
As he addressed the media in the aftermath of the championship race, Larson credited his crew chief, Cliff Daniels, and his team for their hard work. The emotional weight of the achievement was clear as Larson reflected on the previous day.
“I think that’s probably what’s going to probably be the thing that I look back on, is just how unbelievable today was, the last 40 minutes of the race for us,”
he told The Racing Experts. Larson’s pride in his team and in Cliff Daniels’ leadership was enthusiastically expressed during interviews:
“But the work that he puts in on the team, the leadership, himself personally, is just amazing. I think he is the reason why we are champions again.”
Celebrations across the country, official duties, and personal gratitude towards his team are all shaping a memorable week for Kyle Larson. As events and recognitions unfold, Larson’s dedication and the collective efforts of his team have not only won them a championship, but have also demonstrated the demanding journey that follows such a major achievement in the world of NASCAR.
