Larson reflects opportunity offered by Philly race school

PHILADELPHIA — Kyle Larson tried to explain the feeling of his role as the public face of the Urban Youth Racing School when a fan — one of many — wanted a second of the 2021 NASCAR’s champion’s time.

“Yo, Kyle, can I steal a selfie,” he asked.

Larson obliged the request and flashed a smile, just a few seconds out of his day, but a moment years in the making as part of his role with the Philly-based program that creates opportunities in racing for minorities.
