After 16 months and 51 races without a win, Kyle Larson does not consider his drought to be a major concern. The driver, current NASCAR Cup champion, believes that his team and he have been working constantly to get back on the path to victory.
His response to questions about the drought was direct: «Back to what?» Larson acknowledges that, although the team has been competitive, they have faced many obstacles throughout the season. «We have been building towards a return to Victory Lane,» he asserts, demonstrating confidence in the potential of his car and the team.
After starting the decisive phase of the championship with a standout performance, Larson has chosen to remain calm and not give in to pressure. «I didn’t feel that burden. Every week I felt that the number of races without wins was not so large,» he comments, reflecting his belief in the team’s capabilities.
The driver has recently performed notably, consistently finishing within the top 5, and currently occupies second place in the overall standings, just behind Denny Hamlin. His calmness in the face of adversity is based on the support he receives from his team, and he trusts that their joint work will soon bear fruit.
Jeff Gordon, a key figure in the team, has praised the work of chief mechanic Cliff Daniels, who has kept the team united and motivated despite the challenges. Gordon has emphasized the need for improvements and adaptations in race strategies, highlighting that the season has been long and that promising results have begun to emerge recently.
Now, with attention focused on the upcoming races, Larson does not see himself as an underdog, despite his lack of recent victories. He acknowledges that external perceptions may not be favorable, but he is focused on doing his best in every race, aiming to regain his peak performance.
