2014 Rookie of the Year: A Look at the Eight Contenders
By Katie Copple
Kyle Larson: With just one season in NASCAR’s lower series, 20-year old Kyle Larson will take the wheel of the No.42 Target Chevrolet for Chip Ganassi Racing. Although he has just a little experience racing in NASCAR’s highest levels, Larson could do very well in the Sprint Cup Series. Being young and willing to learn, Larson has proved that he can drive just about anything you put him in. The one big question lingering over him are those wondering if he moved up too soon. 2014 will be a learning experience for this young driver but give him a few years and he may just be the next generations Jimmie Johnson.
