Reigning NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Larson recently took to Twitter to announce the auction of various racing merchandise through PristineAuction.com, which will help support his charitable organization.

The Elk Grove, California native founded the Kyle Larson Foundation in 2021, with the goal of giving back to the youth of the country.

The foundation aims to help the younger generation and their communities by working with partnering organizations. The inspiration behind the initiative came after Larson saw soccer player Tony Sanneh come up with the Tony Sanneh Foundation in Minneapolis.

The 29-year-old elaborated on the same in 2021 to SpeedSport.com and said:

"I've wanted to have a foundation for a while now, probably the last four or five years.
"I just never really felt like there was anything that really stood out to me, so now with everything that I kind of went through last year and all the support that I got from different people and organizations and communities, I wanted to give back and support them as well as supporting the communities that they help out, too."

The most recent development from the organization comes in the form of an auction that will sell equipment used by major sport speople from various fields. The proceeds will benefit the Foundation, as the Hendrick Motorsports driver went onto write:

"Our @PristineAuction in full swing. All proceeds benefit the Kyle Larson Foundation. Bidding ends Tuesday, May 31st."

See the tweet below:

The bidding for the auction ends on May 31, 2022.
