“I really appreciate the opportunity given by Niece Motorsports,” Kyle Larson said in a team release.
“I’m excited to get back into a truck at one of my favorite race tracks.”
It's not the first time the Truck Series has raced on dirt. From 2013-19, it held events at Eldora Speedway, where Larson won in 2016. Now, the 28-year-old can do it in the first race of its kind at Bristol.
Kyle Larson is no stranger to this kind of racing. He captured the prestigious Chili Bowl Midget Nationals twice in 2020 and 2021, considered the ‘Super Bowl of Midget Racing.' Last year he had one of the most dominating seasons ever, with 46 victories in 97 attempts. He also led the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series in victories with 12 in 26 outings.
