Winning Quote From Kyle Larson
“It means a lot, I think, when we see the fans. I think to see all these places that are packed, see the car counts, too (59 on Tuesday). It's been since COVID, I feel like, since you've seen car counts in the 50s. ... Everybody at FloSports and FloRacing, what they do to support this series, and put on a great broadcast for you and the fans at home. I hope everybody enjoys it. We're trying our best to build (High Limit) up."
