The 2023 NASCAR regular season kicks off Sunday with the 65th running of the Daytona 500 (2:30 p.m. ET, FOX, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio), but before that, 2021 NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Larson will appear on the next episode of the “Stacking Pennies” podcast with Corey LaJoie.
The 30-year-old driver of the No. 5 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports will look back at his offseason as he prepares for 2023.

Drawing from his 10-plus-year tenure in the Cup Series, Larson will also talk about what he noticed in the Next Gen car coming off his 2021 title season. With Larson also participating in the Indianapolis 500 in 2024, the NASCAR Cup driver will be eager to prepare for the process in due time.
“I’m pumped about that,” Larson said on the podcast when discussing the Indy 500. “I’m happy it’s going to be next year and not this year because May is not that far away, and I would feel not prepared come 500-time [to do] it this year, so yeah, I’ll get to do as much studying as I can this year.”
The episode is set to release on Wednesday afternoon.
