An Interview with:
THE MODERATOR: Bristol was Owen's turn. Charlotte is Audrey's turn to be able to celebrate with Dad and go collect a checkered flag. What a win. This team finished the first round of the playoffs with a dominant win at Bristol. They finished the second round of the playoffs with a dominant win here at the Charlotte Motor Speedway at the ROVAL.
Hey, Kyle, special delivery from Audrey. Here you go, checkered flag. How about that? This moment for the Larson family. Let's talk about this win for you guys. How was this to have a non-pressure-packed day for you?
KYLE LARSON: Yeah, really it's the first time in my playoff career I've not been close to the cut line, so it was good to kind of have a little bit stress-free of a weekend. I think the first time I've been here without crashing, maybe besides the other time I won.
Good weekend. Thanks to Hendrickscars.com, Hendrick Automotive Group. Obviously we're here in Hendrick's home and got so many people here from there. Going to be fun to celebrate with them.
Thanks to Cliff Daniels, Chevrolet, GM too. It's known that I don't really use the sim much, and I was in the sim this week. Huge thank you to you guys there.
It really helped me get into a rhythm I think early on and helped us kind of fine-tune our car too. Hats off to everybody there, and JINYA Ramen Bar, Prime.
It's awesome having Audrey here. We have an 8:40 p.m. flight. I think we're going to miss that probably, but we'll catch Owen and Katelyn and Audrey in Cabo. We're going to Cabo this week, and hopefully will make it there.
THE MODERATOR: You celebrated with Owen because you had a boys weekend. Did Audrey see that and say, Hey, when is my turn, Dad?
KYLE LARSON: Well, yeah. It's great to have Audrey here, but the reason why we're here is Owen was off racing this week in Oklahoma with Katelyn and Cooper, and Audrey had a baseball game yesterday. So we had to stay here for that.
It's always fun getting to hang out with your kids and getting to have these special moments. I know she was jealous to see Owen at Bristol, and glad to have this moment with her.
