Larson wins at Millbridge Speedway against fellow NASCAR stars
Kyle Larson and several of his NASCAR friends took a trip to Millbridge Speedway in Salisbury, North Carolina, on Wednesday night.
Larson, the reigning NASCAR Cup Series champion, was on hand at the eighth-mile dirt track to compete in the non-winged 600cc Micro division alongside several other NASCAR and ARCA stars.
Joining Larson in the field for Wednesday’s race were two-time ARCA Menards Series West champion Jesse Love, Joe Gibbs Racing NASCAR Cup Series driver Christopher Bell, 2020 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series champion Sheldon Creed, two-time NASCAR Xfinity Series champion and current Richard Childress Racing Cup Series driver Tyler Reddick and multi-time NASCAR Xfinity Series race winners Brandon Jones and Noah Gragson.
With only 30 laps in the 1/8-mile dirt oval, the pressure to gain and maintain the lead was immense. But Larson, no stranger to pressure, took the lead from ARCA Menards Series West champion Jesse Love after just 5 laps. Kyle Larson led the remainder of the race, finishing in first place with Christopher Bell sliding in behind him for second.
