NASCAR Cup Series driver Kyle Larson's self-deprecating humor was on full display as he recently trolled himself on social media.
Former Cup champion Kyle Larson is set to make his NASCAR Xfinity Series return this season which will see him drive the No. 17 for Hendrick Motorsports. After a 13-year hiatus, the latter announced its return to the Xfinity Series in 2022 and has made consistent appearances in the series in the past two campaigns.
For the 2024 season, Daytona 500 champion William Byron will kick off the series at the Phoenix Raceway in March, with other drivers like Chase Elliott and Alex Bowman also taking turns behind the wheel.
Notably, Larson will only compete in a handful of races, with his first appearance scheduled for March 23rd at Circuit of The Americas.
However, when Hendrick Motorsports took to X (formerly Twitter) to announce their schedule for the season, former Cup champion and last season's runner-up Larson pointed out a hilarious detail in the graphic.
In the graphic, that features all four Hendrick drivers, Larson appeared to be of equal height to his teammates, despite the notable height difference in reality.
Standing at 5'6", the 2021 Cup Series champion humorously noted that he appreciated being depicted at the same height as his 6'1" teammate, Alex Bowman, with a lighthearted emoji-laden comment.

"I appreciate the equal height 😂."
