Kyle Larson's wife, Katelyn Sweet, shared an adorable 10th birthday post for their son, Owen. Katelyn took to Instagram to post a compilation of the birthday boy throughout the years.

Larson is a 32-year-old NASCAR Cup Series driver under Hendrick Motorsports. He married Katelyn in 2018 about four years after their son Owen Miyata was born. The couple also share two more children: Audrey Lane and Cooper Donald.

Katelyn Larson wrote a short yet sweet caption on her birthday greetings for her son, which read:

"Happy 10th Birthday sweet boy! @owenlarson01 🧡"

Like his father, Owen Larson is making a name for himself in the racing scene.

Earlier this year, the then nine-year-old driver won his first junior sprint race at Coles County Speedway. He drove the No. 81 sprint car to victory ahead of Levi Ballard and Noah Betts, respectively.

Kyle Larson shared how proud he was of his son, saying:

“Little 0 got his first junior sprint win last night! so proud."

During the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season, the father and son duo also had a few moments on the track.

Owen ran to his father after the Hendrick Motorsports star won the Pennzoil 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The youngster climbed on top of the race-winning No. 5 Chevrolet Camaro and cheered on the crowd.

Later in the year, the young Larson sat on the door of the No. 5 car while his father drove around the Bristol Motor Speedway to celebrate the win. The victory punched the driver's ticket to the Round of 12 after a poor start in the postseason.

Kyle Larson concluded the year with a season-high six wins and led the most laps at 1,700 laps. He also scored 15 top-5s, 18 top-10s, and five pole positions.


Kyle Larson's wife Katelyn shared her thoughts on the father-son celebration at Bristol

With the Bristol night race celebration looking dangerous, Kyle Larson's wife, Katelyn, was worried for their son Owen. However, Larson reassured her he was hanging on to their son as they drove around the track.

In an episode of the NASCAR Daily Show hosted by Shannon Spake, Katelyn said:

"I was just worried that he was hanging on to the lip of the roof and I'm like 'Gosh just put your arm under there and hang on to like the roll bar or something' but I actually was nervous. I usually am not um but yeah, Kyle said 'I was hanging on to him, he was fine.'" [04:18]

She also shared the conversation with her husband that might've pissed him off after predicting a Denny Hamlin win.

"I had no idea honestly. I told him I thought Denny (Hamlin) would win the race prior to practice or anything I said 'Denny is really good under pressure' and I think that actually kind of pissed him off that I said that. So maybe I lit a little fire under there and he was like 'No he's not going to win the race, I am.'" [04:45]

While Denny Hamlin looked promising in the race, Kyle Larson came out on top to secure his fifth of six victories in the season. He dominated the race with a whopping 462 laps led after starting the race second.
