Kyle Larson set to drive Kaulig Racing’s number 10 car at Darlington Raceway

The 2021 NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Larson will pilot the Kaulig Racing’s #10 Chevrolet in the NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Darlington Raceway on Saturday, May 13, 2023. Larson has already secured two Cup Series wins this season and will make his first Xfinity start of the 2023 season.

Larson stated that the 1.366-mile Darlington Speedway is one of the top tracks on his list and is looking forward to having a chance to reach Victory Lane. He is yet to score a win at this venue in either the Cup or Xfinity Series.

In a statement released by the team, Larson said:

“I’m looking forward to competing in the Xfinity Series race at Darlington Raceway in a few weeks with Kaulig Racing and HendrickCars.com. Darlington is a challenging track and definitely one on the top of my list that I’m eager to get a win at."

"The Kaulig Xfinity cars have been really fast this year, too, so I’m thankful for the opportunity to run double-duty and hopefully we’ll have a good shot at a win.”

Kyle Larson competed in three Xfinity races last year, winning at Watkins Glen International Speedway. The California-born driver has clinched 13 wins, including five poles, and 78 top-10 finishes in 111 starts in NASCAR’s Xfinity Series.
