WATCH: Kyle Larson Flips Car in Huge Crash at Plymouth
NASCAR hero Kyle Larson participated in the World of Outlaws series at the 1/3-mile Plymouth Dirt Track event when a supposed technical problem on the rear axle “launched” his car into the catch fence as he was drifting sideways.
A video on X shows him chasing race leader Rico Abreu at high speed on Lap 7. But as soon as his car approached Turn 1, the rear wheel came loose, causing his car to flip and catapult straight into the catch fence.
The car then struck the ground sideways, prompting a swift response from the emergency team. Fortunately, Larson was declared safe after the incident. Speaking after the huge crash on X, he said:

“I think the right rear, axle or something broke.
“Just kinda launched me and along for the ride. Bummer, I felt really good, pacing Rico there, finally catching traffic, getting racing there.
“Glad I’m okay. Big hits but all-in-all, feel fine.”
Larson has been racing in the World of Outlaws series since September 10, 2011. The 2021 NASCAR champion hit the 30-race wins milestone last year at Federated Auto Parts Raceway in Pevely.
This shows his love for racing is not just limited to stock car racing. Last month, Larson attempted The Double by racing in the NASCAR Cup Series Coca-Cola 600 and the Indy 500 on the same day.
This was his second attempt at securing the legendary feat, but unfortunately, he failed after crashing in the Indy 500 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Newsweek Sports reported his statement after the race. He said:
“It was a bit crazy there on the start.
“I got tight behind Takuma [Sato]. I was really close to him and I think I got loose and kind of got all over the place. Yeah, so I spun. Just hate that I got a little too eager there on the restart and caused that crash. So, hate it for everybody that also got caught up in it.
“Just bummed out, so I’ll try to get over this quickly and get on to Charlotte, and just forgot about it.”
The race start was also delayed by 45 minutes due to wet weather. When Larson was asked if that was on his mind, considering that he had another race to participate in, he said:
“I don’t know. I wasn’t too focused on that.”
He added:
“When I’m sitting there for 45 minutes, it was on my mind, but once we got racing, I wasn’t really worried about that.”
