Kyle Larson Likes to Stay Behind the Wheel to Overcome the Lack of Practice in NASCAR

Most Cup weekends today feature only 20 minutes or less of practice time. "That's why I race in the offseason. I love to race, but I also use it as a kind of tool to stay sharp," said Larson, who is racing midgets this weekend at Placerville. NASCAR reduced practice times after COVID to cut costs and prevent damage ahead of races.
