Kyle Larson is not your typical NASCAR driver.
He is Japanese-American, does victory burnouts without a steering wheel, and has been compared to some of the best drivers in the sport.
This past weekend in Fontana, Larson opened a lot of eyes with his first Nationwide Series victory and a strong finish in the Sprint Cup race.
He is NASCAR's next big superstar and may be the driver that can bring non-racing fans to the sport.
Larson's mother is Japanese-American and her parents spent time in an internment camp during World War II.

He nearly chose IndyCar's open-wheel racing over a career in NASCAR because the cars are 'really cool' and the better development system.
