Bio
Kyle Larson drives the No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet full time in the NASCAR Cup Series and is a two-time champion (2021, 2025). His second title came unconventionally after a third-place finish in the season finale at Phoenix Raceway. Larson, who began his Cup career in 2014 with Chip Ganassi Racing, is a 34-time Cup winner and qualified for the NASCAR playoffs from 2016-19 and 2021-25. His first victory for Hendrick Motorsports came in March 2021 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, while his most recent came at Kansas Speedway in September 2026. Just two races before that, he snapped a 51-race winless streak at World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway. He also won the NASCAR All-Star Race in 2019, 2021 and 2023 and owns crown-jewel victories in the 2021 Coca-Cola 600, 2023 Southern 500 and 2024 Brickyard 400. Larson earned Rookie of the Year honors in 2014 after winning the same award in the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series in 2013. He has 19 O’Reilly Auto Parts Series wins and four NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series victories.
