Full episode links " " The Drivers Project (@thedriversproj) December 7, 2025 So it makes all the more sense that Rick Hendrick is worried about Kyle Larson's sprint racing passion. At the same time, Hendrick cultivates his TikTok-watching habits, something that Gen-Z people usually do. Larson talked about a party where Hendrick asked him if he had crashed recently. Corey Day was also involved in the Hangtown 100 mess, and Hendrick was even more concerned. "I was talking to Rick. He's like, "Yeah, you crashed, right?" or whatever. "Do you see Cory's?" "No, I haven't seen Cory's." "Don't go look for it," Kyle Larson said. "Yeah, he loves to send TikToks of me crashing sprint cars…...

Stenhouse, furious after being wrecked early, threw the opening punch while Busch appeared more interested in cooling tempers than trading blows after the race. But according to Kyle Larson, Stenhouse hardly needs a provocation. In Larson's eyes, Stenhouse simply has a punchable face. That remark surfaced long before last year's mayhem, during Larson's 2018 appearance on Jeff Gluck's 12 Questions series. When Gluck asked which driver carried the most punchable face, Larson admitted he had already warned Stenhouse his name would come up. "I was telling Ricky Stenhouse, "Ah, there's a question about who has the most punchable face, so I'm gonna say you,'" Larson recalled. His reasoning went…...

Verstappen, winner of more races (eight) than any driver this year, triumphed in the season-ender with McLaren's Oscar Piastri second. Norris, who became Britain's 11th Formula One world champion, ended the season with 423 points to Verstappen's 421 and Piastri's 410.

27+ min ago (570+ words) Kyle Larson has always been a close-edge person, whether he's strapped into a Cup car or pitching a sprint car sideways on dirt. Wrecks have followed him through every stage of his career, from scary flips on local bullrings to bruising accidents on NASCAR's biggest stages. Even now, while balancing championship pursuits with his love for grassroots racing, Larson still dives into the dirt world. And with every one of those tumbles, one person seems to lose more sleep than Larson ever does, team owner Rick Hendrick, who keeps sending him TikTok reminders of just how violently sprint cars can bite. Larson's dirt exploits in 2025 alone offered Hendrick no shortage of ammunition. In June, a broken axle launched Larson into a vicious end-over-end crash at Wisconsin's Plymouth Dirt Track, leaving the car mangled in the catch fence. Months later, in…...

Frank Sinatra's words may as well have been ringing in Lando Norris' helmet as he crossed the finish line at Yas Marina. Because in the end, Lando Norris became world champion by doing it his way. The McLaren star sealed his maiden Formula 1 title with a calm, controlled third-place finish behind race-winner and title rival Max Verstappen, and teammate Oscar Piastri. But the result was only one small part of the story. "I did it my way' For years, critics have questioned whether he lacked the ruthlessness required to beat drivers like Verstappen in wheel-to-wheel combat. Norris never bought into that idea " nor did he change who he was to chase the title. Even on Sunday, with everything at stake, he stayed true to…...

1+ hour, 20+ min ago (398+ words) All good things come to an end " and on Sunday night in Abu Dhabi, Max Verstappen learned that even dynasties have a finish line. The Dutchman won the battle at Yas Marina, taking the chequered flag in the season finale. But the war? That belonged to Lando Norris, who clinched the 2025 Formula 1 Drivers" Championship with a nerveless third-place finish " just enough to finally halt Verstappen"s furious late-season charge. Verstappen"s comeback had been the stuff of legend. A 104-point deficit carved all the way down to just two. A run of relentless form from a four-time champion refusing to bow. Heroic? Absolutely. Enough? Barely not. And in the wreckage of that near-miracle, one person felt the weight more than Verstappen ever would: Mercedes rookie Kimi Antonelli. The 18-year-old, who was brutally scapegoated after last week"s Qatar Grand Prix,…...

Taking his title disappointment on the chin on Sunday after finishing runner-up in Abu Dhabi and third in the championship race, the Australian star reckoned he was ready to use any sense of anti-climax to fuel a push to become a world champion of the future. With McLaren team boss Andrea Stella adamant he could go on and win the drivers' championship "multiple" times, Piastri admitted there had been times in the season, as he had powered 34 points clear of his teammate and new champion Lando Norris, when he felt just about invincible. He won seven races in all and only…...

"I feel like I have just managed to win it the way I wanted to win it, which was not by being someone I'm not. Not trying to be as aggressive as Max [Verstappen] or as forceful as other champions might have been in the past " whatever it may be. My style of just trying to be a good person and a good team member." The 26-year-old Briton did a…...
