After a rather eventful week where he missed out on the Double, Kyle Larson is back to his usual ways. The HMS driver managed to break his 10-race winless streak in the High Limit Racing Series at the Lawrenceburg Speedway. Larson led 22 of the 30 laps in the race, ousting initial pole sitter Rico Abreu for his second win of the season.

High Limit co-owner and the HMS driver’s brother-in-law, Brad Sweet finished the race in fourth place.
Following the sweet taste of victory at the High Limit High Rollers event, Larson was eligible to pick a charity of his choice to send the bonus amount of the race win proceeds.
The winless streak is officially over!

Larson seeks help from fans to find the right charity to donate his High Limit winning money
The Elk Grove native was sure about which issue he would like to tackle when given the option to pick his charity. Larson chose to help out a charity that works towards helping out Alopecia in men and women. The autoimmune disorder is something that causes severe hair loss in individuals. While there is no cure for the disease at the moment, there sure is a treatment that can help the people suffering from it.
Alopecia is a problem that affects a lot of people across the globe, but this issue also hits close to home for Larson, since his daughter Audrey Layne Larson was also diagnosed with the condition. In an interview a couple of months ago, Larson mentioned how Audrey started displaying symptoms when she was just 18 months old.
High Limit High Rollers, or in this case, a tour co-owner … @KyleLarsonRacin gets to pick a charity to send to a bonus to with his win.
Kyle says he needs help, because he wants to support an Alopecia charity, but doesn’t know the best one.

The 2021 Cup Series champion mentioned, “In the beginning, it was just little pieces that I could cover, and it was no big deal. It would grow right back. The last time that she lost her hair, she lost a significant amount. Those were the pictures that I had posted.”
The exact cause in Audrey’s case was not fully understood, but the doctors mentioned that there could have been several factors including stress due to dietary changes. Despite the challenges faced by the Larsons, they have been committed to helping not just their daughter but several other people who deal with this disorder. Previously they even launched an Alopecia awareness T-shirt and all of the profits earned from the sales were donated to the National Alopecia Areata Foundation.
