  Larson's Double Do-over

  Aug 19, 20261h 17m

  While the rest of us were heading home from Richmond or going to sleep on Saturday night, Kyle Larson was aboard an airplane heading to Iowa for the biggest sprint car race of the year: the Knoxville Nationals. He'd complete the miraculous double by leading all 50 laps of the crown jewel dirt race, capturing his fourth career title in the esteemed event. Motorsports reporter Jeff Gluck invites Kyle to the Gluckcast this week to chat about his Saturday night and his sprint car career as a whole. Jeff also sits down with fellow reporter Bob Pockrass ahead of the Freedom 250 IndyCar event on the streets of Washington D.C. Finally, Jeff chats with Front Row Motorsports General Manager Jerry Freeze about the recent contract extension for Noah Gragson, their developing Cup roster and future of their Truck program.
