Dale Earnhardt Jr. recently reached out to Kyle Larson following the Atlanta race to praise his impressive performance on the superspeedway. During the latest episode of the *Dale Jr. Download* podcast, Earnhardt Jr. revealed that he texted Larson, telling him that his driving style at Atlanta reminded him of classic superspeedway racing from past eras at Daytona and Talladega.

Larson, who has historically struggled with superspeedway racing, responded with enthusiasm, saying, *”Man, today was fun as hell.”* This reaction suggests that Larson may be turning a corner in his approach to these types of tracks, which have often been a weak spot for him in the past.

Earnhardt Jr. highlighted that Larson’s newfound confidence and adaptability could make him a serious contender on superspeedways moving forward. Given that Larson was in the mix for the win at Atlanta and secured a strong third-place finish, his competitors should take notice.

With this improvement, Larson could become an even greater threat in upcoming races at Daytona, Talladega, and other high-speed ovals. His ability to navigate the draft and make bold moves late in races might shake up the NASCAR field, making him one to watch closely this season.
