Larson relieved to be granted waiver that keeps him in NASCAR playoffs

Kyle Larson was finally granted the waiver this week he needed from NASCAR to remain eligible to race for a second Cup championship.

Now that the ordeal is over, Larson would prefer if the topic just went away.

“I think there’s definitely relief on my end,” Larson said Saturday at Sonoma. "There was a lot, I'm sure, discussion that went into it on NASCAR's end and a lot of discussion. I'm appreciative of it, for sure, and look forward to hopefully not talk about waivers again.

“Thankfully nobody has to deal with the drama going forward.”
