It’s common practice these days to do a few burnouts after winning a race. But Kyle Larson capped off his first-ever Nationwide Series victory with a twist on the now-standard celebration: He did his burnouts while holding the steering wheel out the window of his No. 42 Turner Scott Motorsports Chevrolet.

As it turns out, it’s not the first time that Larson has made the donuts in that particular fashion. In fact, he’s been doing that since his open-wheel, dirt-track days.

“The history behind it – in the Outlaw cars that I grew up racing, everybody did them,” Larson said after winning today’s TreatMyClot.com 300. “My sister’s ex-boyfriend probably did them the best, so she doesn’t really like to see me do them.”

“But nobody did them in stock cars, so once I got here, I did it when I won the K&N championship at Rockingham [and] I did it when I won the Truck race at Rockingham.”

After doing the no-wheel burnouts last year in the aforementioned Camping World Truck Series race, Larson says NASCAR had a chat with him about not doing those anymore.

Obviously, however, Larson couldn’t resist this afternoon as he ripped through the infield grass.

“I just won my first Nationwide race, so I’ll do whatever I want,” he said. “And if I win the Cup race, I’ll probably do the same thing.”
