Kyle Larson arrives at North Wilkesboro for NASCAR All
NORTH WILKESBORO, N.C. (AP) — Kyle Larson has arrived at North Wilkesboro Speedway for the start of Sunday night’s All-Star Race following a busy afternoon in which the NASCAR star qualified fifth for the Indianapolis 500.
Larson is seeking his fourth All-Star Race win, matching Jimmie Johnson for the most all-time.
Larson arrived at Wilkes County Airport via airplane, was transported by helicopter to the racetrack and then taken by golf cart to his hauler to begin preparations for the 200-lap exhibition race for $1 million.
Fans cheered his arrival into the track and he waved to them along the way.
“I’m glad to be here,” Larson said on pit row before. “The atmosphere is awesome. Hopefully we can put on a good show and win here tonight.”
Larson hasn’t turned in a lap on the newly paved track this week and will have to start at the back of the 20-car field because he wasn’t here to qualify. However, he did win the All-Star Race and the Trucks Race here last year.
