Kyle Larson's NASCAR Championship Means Parade at Home, Anonymity at Disney

• Highlights of NASCAR Cup champion Kyle Larson’s post-championship activities have included a parade in his honor in his hometown of Elk Grove, Calif. and a visit to Disneyland.

• Larson jokingly said he had hoped to create a bigger reaction among the crowds at Disneyland.

• The drier said he continues to relive the final pit stop at Phoenix, the move that propelled him to the win and the Cup championship.

Music City is Kyle Larson’s city this week.

Fresh from his first NASCAR Cup championship, Larson is a center of attention this week in Nashville, Tennessee—a country music capital and rapidly expanding international city that also has a deep history in stock car racing.

For Larson, who thoroughly dominated this Cup season with 10 victories and an impressive win in the championship finale at Phoenix, the weeks since the last race and the run-up to this week’s big celebration have been all new. And, he said Thursday, quite the fun experience.

“It’s been cool to enjoy all the championship stuff, all the interviews, all the pictures,” he said. “That’s all stuff that you wouldn’t normally enjoy or maybe get bored with, but I’m having fun with it this time.”
