SONOMA, Calif. — Over the last 20 days, Kyle Larson went to victory lane in NASCAR’s second tier Xfinity Series and picked up a pair of wins in his sprint car. He knocked off several podium finishes during Ohio Sprint Speedweek and finished third in NASCAR’s main event at Michigan.

Now it’s time for Larson to produce in his full-time job.

He wouldn’t mind doing it at Sonoma Raceway on Sunday.

Larson is riding a wave of momentum into NASCAR’s first road course race of the season, and he believes it could translate into his long overdue first career Sprint Cup series win. It may seem odd that Larson would choose a road course as the potential site of his breakthrough win considering his lack of experience on anything other than an oval.

But Larson is quite comfortable on the picturesque 10-turn, 1.99-mile course in California wine country.

“I really enjoy road course racing, especially here with friends and family,” said Larson, who grew up less than two hours away from the track in Elk Grove, California, and was a regular fan in attendance every time NASCAR came to town.

Yet, Larson is the first to admit, “I don’t have hardly any road course experience,” and his first real experience turning left and right on a race track came in 2013 when he made the full-time move to NASCAR.
