Speaking in an exclusive by the NASCAR enthusiast, Nathan Solomon, the ace Hendrick Motorsports driver revealed his thoughts.
“I honestly think this week is this week was very emotional, I guess. I’m not an emotional person but when you really sit back and think about it, yeah,” said the driver. Larson further added how grateful he was after the race in Talladega, “I mean like I could’ve been very seriously been myself hurt on Sunday. Thankfully, you know, I wasn’t.”
Further, Larson mentioned people reaching out to check on him while predicting an inevitable episode coming for him. “Denny was texting me this week and I appreciate the concern but they all say odds will eventually catch up to guys like me who race dirt. But yeah, I feel like the odds are more going to catch up to me eventually on a superspeedway,” said the ace speedster.
