The proud and emotional tribute, Hendrick Motorsports has unveiled a life-size bronze statue honoring Kyle Larson at their headquarters in Concord, North Carolina. The statue commemorates Larson’s inspiring journey and outstanding accomplishments in NASCAR, symbolizing not only his athletic excellence but also his resilience and personal growth.
Positioned prominently on the Hendrick Motorsports campus, the statue captures Larson in a signature celebratory pose, reflecting one of the most defining moments of his racing career. The unveiling marks a major milestone in Larson’s legacy and serves as a testament to the strong bond between the driver and the organization that backed his return to NASCAR in 2021.
Larson’s journey has not been without adversity. After a suspension in 2020, his comeback was marked by redemption and success when he joined Hendrick Motorsports. That same year, he captured the NASCAR Cup Series Championship, reaffirming his elite status in the sport. His win at the Coca-Cola 600 contributed to Hendrick Motorsports becoming the winningest team in NASCAR history, surpassing Petty Enterprises.
The statue unveiling event was attended by fans, team members, and motorsports figures who applauded Larson’s discipline, work ethic, and influence both on and off the track. More than a tribute to one man, the statue represents perseverance, transformation, and the spirit of NASCAR.
For visitors, the statue now stands as a powerful visual reminder of Larson’s journey—an enduring symbol of talent, redemption, and the trust Hendrick Motorsports placed in a driver who made the most of a second chance.
