Kevin Harvick weighs in on Kyle Larson’s son Owen joining him in car for Bristol celebration

Kevin Harvick enjoyed watching Kyle Larson‘s son Owen join him in the car after winning the Bass Pro Shops Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway. On Kevin Harvick’s Happy Hour, Harvick reacted to Owen riding on the side of his father’s car during his victory lap.

“This is the whole scenario, and when you’re winning a lot of races and you’re talking about what you’re going to do next, these are the types of things the conversations that Kyle and Owen are having I’m sure as far as victory celebrations,” Harvick said. “Yeah, I’m sure they weren’t happy about him hanging out of the car, but it was still really cool.”

Harvick added: “So cool to be able to share those moments and so cool that he’s winning enough races to be able to be creative. With the next victory celebration, maybe Owen will drive the car.”

It was a dominant performance for Kyle Larson, leading 462 of the 500 laps and winning by seven seconds. After the race, Larson spoke to NBC Sports about celebrating the win with his son.

“Obviously I love having my family here, and I don’t really I feel like ever win when they’re here. I guess only a quarter of them were here tonight,” he said.

“But no, I got the checkered flag and we were pitted — our pit stall was on the backstretch. I was like, I’m going to drive down to the backstretch and maybe my team is on the wall and I can celebrate with them. As I drove by I saw Owen was on pit road celebrating, and I was like, that’s cool.

“I knew he went to the suite or I thought you went to the suite during the race so I thought I’d meet him in Victory Lane or something by the time it took to get all the way down. When I saw him there, I said, cool, I’m going to stop right here and have him hop on and go slow so I don’t hopefully get in trouble.”

Larson added: “No, it’s just cool building memories like that, and I’m hoping he will remember these moments for the rest of his life. Hopefully, someday when he’s winning races and has a family of his own, he’ll get to find his own way to get to celebrate with his children.”

With the win, Larson advanced to the second round of the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs which features seven other drivers. The first race of the second round will be on Sunday, the Hollywood Casino 400 at Kansas Speedway.
