Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Makes Kyle Larson Fall, Hit Stage Hard In Las Vegas
Everybody plays pranks on their friends. But if you and your friend both are NASCAR drivers, that leads to some very public embarrassment. Kyle Larson received a brutal reminder of that Wednesday in Las Vegas. The Chip Ganassi Racing driver was set to take part in a live Q&A on Wednesday.

Jamie McMurray Proves NASCAR Drivers Are Athletes, Once And For All
Share this: The notion that NASCAR drivers should be considered “real” athletes often is met with a chorus of laughter — which is extremely unfair. Don’t believe us? Let Chip Ganassi Racing driver Jamie McMurray hit you with some truth: From a logistical and competitive standpoint, a NASCAR race and a cycling race have virtually nothing in common. But as McMurray shows here, the physical tolls these events take on the human body are eerily similar. Temperature and heart-rate statistics aren’t the only evidence you need to know that NASCAR is filled with great athletes. Jimmie Johnson, like McMurray, is a hardcore cyclist, and Danica Patrick perhaps is the most fit driver in the sport. And these two, like every NASCAR driver, need to stay
