While he has remained a championship contender and qualified for the 2026 Chase, the lack of a Cup victory has given Audrey plenty to throw back at him.<\/p>\n<p>Larson&#8217;s children have become increasingly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/nascar\/news-kyle-larson-starts-new-dirt-track-series-sprint-cars-2023\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">involved in dirt racing through the family&#8217;s KLR operation<\/a>. Kyle Larson Racing, with Paul Silva heading the program and Clinton Boyles running the team&#8217;s micro-sprint efforts, also provides a platform for young racers to develop. That includes Larson&#8217;s own children, who have continued racing throughout the year. Audrey and her older brother Owen have already gained experience at major micro-sprint events.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/nascar\/news-kyle-larson-s-daughter-audrey-gets-love-kelley-earnhardt-budding-racer-competes-tulsa-shootout\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">both competed at the Tulsa Shootout<\/a>, with Audrey racing in the Junior Sprint division and Owen competing across multiple classes. Audrey, now eight, has balanced her racing with ice hockey while continuing to compete in Junior Sprints, while 11-year-old Owen has accumulated more experience across different micro-sprint divisions.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2>Kyle Larson recalls Knoxville banter with daughter Audrey<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"image\"><noscript><\/noscript><img class=\"lazy-img\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1279\" data-img=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2026\/08\/f42b5-17876923488077-1920.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2026\/08\/f42b5-17876923488077-1920.jpg?w=190 190w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2026\/08\/f42b5-17876923488077-1920.jpg?w=720 720w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2026\/08\/f42b5-17876923488077-1920.jpg?w=640 640w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2026\/08\/f42b5-17876923488077-1920.jpg?w=1045 1045w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2026\/08\/f42b5-17876923488077-1920.jpg?w=1200 1200w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2026\/08\/f42b5-17876923488077-1920.jpg?w=1460 1460w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2026\/08\/f42b5-17876923488077-1920.jpg?w=1600 1600w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2026\/08\/f42b5-17876923488077-1920.jpg 1920w\" alt=\"Kyle Larson with his daughter, Audrey Larson, at the Charlotte ROVAL.

A rain delay in Iowa gave him a chance to make the race, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/nascar\/news-that-stuff-goes-long-way-kyle-larson-s-knoxville-nationals-triumph-delivers-rare-bright-spot-hendrick-motorsports\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">he eventually won his fourth Knoxville Nationals title<\/a> after leading all 50 laps of the championship feature.<\/p>\n<p>The result also gave Larson an edge in his trash talk with Audrey. After his Knoxville run, he was able to turn the argument around. Speaking on <em>Door Bumper Clear<\/em>, he added (1:19:45 onwards):<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cBacking up to Knoxville, the week I was winning, because all this time I&#8217;ve been, she&#8217;ll have a tough race or I&#8217;m just hard on her to be hard on her.

You&#8217;re going to have to win to catch me.\u2019 So, yeah. No, it&#8217;s good. I like bantering with her, and she can take it, and I think she&#8217;ll give it back, and we&#8217;ll be kinda joking.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Kyle Larson also explained that there are moments when he has to remind her that their conversations are not always a joke:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cShe&#8217;s tough. But she&#8217;s good because she can, like, she&#8217;ll be going a little bit too much at me, and she&#8217;ll think we&#8217;re joking, and I&#8217;m like, \u2018No, I&#8217;m not f**king (with you) right now.\u2019 She&#8217;ll be like, \u2018Okay, sorry.\u2019 It&#8217;s good.
