Kyle Larson Cross

Kyle Larson He shared his choice for which the Indycar series pilot would like to see the Nascar Cup Series in Phoenix Raceway next year. He chose Josef Newgarden, noting that Team Penske usually runs on the track based on Arizona.

For the uninitiated, the two north -American racing series will hold a double header in Phoenix in March 2026. The track, which is often served as the end of the season, has long been Team PenskeHighlighted by three runs in a row from the championship.

Josef Newgarden is currently leading Roger Penske to the Indycar series, where he has captured two championships (2017 and 2019). It also holds close ties to the list of Team Penske's Nascar, even attending Ryan Blaney's wedding in Colorado Last year.

In an interview with Speedfreaks Before throwing the first release for Arizona Diamondbacks, Larson, which drives the number 5 of Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet, said:

“Judging by the untouchable cars of Penske in this track style, would be the perfect place for Josef Newgarden to debut in a glass car. He would probably leave there and ran the first five easily, and I will not even exaggerate that thing.”

“I don't think Roger would leave him, but I would like him to show his talent … Indycar's talents so well in that weekend,” he added.

Kyle Larson himself is not foreign to crossing attempts after he has taken Double twice. This is directing Indianapolis 500 and Coca-Cola 600 of the Nascar on the same day the Day Memorial weekend. His most prominent effort took place with a fifth initial place in Indy 500, but despite the strong qualified career, he does not yet have to break the Top-10 at the event.
