“Dale approached me about during the All Star weekend at North Wilkesboro and I thought it would be fun,” Larson said. “There was one other time I drove a Late Model Stock and that was at Denny Hamlin’s Short Track Showdown at Richmond. I obviously like racing on the local level. I feel like I can have an impact on the attending crowd and viewership on Flo. I hope I can go there, have fun, put on a show and compete with some drivers that I’ve never raced with before.
“I’m looking forward to it. It’s coming up quick and thanks for Dale for the opportunity.”
He will serve as a teammate to current series points leader and defending champion Carson Kvapil.
“It’s really cool that Kyle is coming to Caraway with us,” Kvapil said. “He’s a NASCAR champion and one of those guys who can drive anything and be really competitive right away. As a team, we’ve been pretty good at Caraway, with the win last season in the Old North State Nationals, and I know how our cars perform there. I’m really looking forward to the opportunity to race with him.”
