Old beyond his years, young Kyle Larson is poised to become NASCAR's next breakout star.
Kyle Larson is a racing machine. NASCAR's latest wunderkind climbs into his firesuit for hot laps at Williams Grove Speedway, a historic Pennsylvania oval that's been a fixture on the dirt-track circuit since 1939. Four hours earlier, Larson had been nearly 150 miles southeast, pounding around the high banks of the Monster Mile, a.k.a. Dover International Speedway in Delaware, during practice for the Nationwide stock-car race. Tomorrow, he'll be back at Dover, qualifying for and then racing in the 5-Hour Energy 200. But his Friday-night schedule was empty, so he thought nothing of braving three hours of rush-hour traffic to make the sprint-car show at Williams Grove.
