Show Notes

Kevin Harvick sits down with Rick Hendrick, Jeff Gordon, and reigning champion Kyle Larson for a wide-ranging conversation following Larson’s new five-year contract extension with Hendrick Motorsports. The group discusses why the long-term deal made sense for both sides, why Larson feels at home with HMS after winning a championship, and what Hendrick and Gordon saw in Larson when they first brought him into the organization. They also break down what separates Hendrick Motorsports from the rest of the garage, how the team has built a culture that continues to produce record-breaking Cup Series wins and championships, and what Larson’s expectations are for the 2026 season as he looks to defend his title.
