No way on the most diverse resume. Mario Andretti has that 100 times over Larson, no matter how many Nationals or Royals he wins.

When I made that comment, Mario came to mind. However, I can't speak for Mario's accomplishments----I never got to witness them. Kyle can't win the events Mario did because many of them don't exist and haven't for decades. He had a lot of diversity in his wins because that's what drivers did-----they raced non-stop. Kyle is doing this in a completely different era. I don't disagree with you----comparing eras is tough for me because it's apples and oranges.

I never liked Tyler Walker, but that doesnt change the fact the dude could wheel a winged sprint car. And do it very well. But drugs and being a idiot sorta ruined that for him. Hope Kyle doesnt do something stupid like that.

Nor the F1 championship, Indy 500 or Daytona 500 wins.

One thing that I thought about the other day while youtubing some old races is what about Indycar being a potential option for Larson instead of Nascar? Granted, I think that it might be a year or two before anything happens as far as a full time option if not longer. I am not sure what Indycar sponsorship or the owner make up is like but it seems they have more 1 off races for drivers than Nascar. Not an exact comparision but I remember AJ Allmendinger running the Indy 500 while making his comeback, Kurt Busch was already in the 41 but it was his first year in a decent ride, and I believe Shane Hmiel was trying to get into Indycar after his issues. Larson has express desire to run the Indy 500 in the past and if he keeps his pace up in sprint cars, maybe an owner that has sponsorship takes a chance on him. Be kind of neat to see him in an AJ Foyt car. No matter when he makes his return to any series it will be a topic of discussion but maybe it will be different if it was just one race as opposed to a full year
