Kyle Larson drives the No. 5 car for Rick Hendrick in the NASCAR Cup Series. In November, he claimed his second career championship in the finale at Phoenix Raceway.
And, that’s far from the only thing he races. Larson will jump behind the wheel of anything, especially if it happens to be on a dirt track.
He’s the co-owner of the High Limit Racing Series and regularly races a 410 dirt sprint car. And, when those crash, they crash hard.
Recently, Kyle Larson and Corey Day were both involved in wild sprint car crashes.
Mr. H is a regular TikTok user and his feed is apparently filled with videos of his NASCAR Cup Series driver crashing sprint cars…

Watch the video of Larson discussing his communication with Rick below.
“I saw we had a party a few days later,” Kyle Larson stated via The Driver’s Project Podcast.
“I was talking to Rick. He’s like, ‘Yeah, you crashed right?’ I was like, ‘Yeah. Did you see Corey’s?’ “
He said, ‘No, I haven’t seen Corey’s’ I was like, ‘Well, don’t go look for it.’ “
“Rick has this thing. So, he’s on TikTok all the time. He’ll send me random, the only time he texts me, is he’ll send me TikToks of me crashing sprint cars.”
“He said, ‘Good to see how safe this is. Not!’ So, he loves to send TikToks of me crashing sprint cars from like years before.”
“He’s like, ‘Are you okay?’ I’m like, ‘Rick, that was from like six years ago.”
Alex Bowman also races for Hendrick Motorsports. Bowman owns a dirt sprint car team and as recently as 2023, he also raced them.
However, Bowman was encouraged by Hendrick to stop racing sprint cars. He spoke about his retirement from dirt racing in December 2023.
