Hendrick signs 2 sponsors for Kyle Larson's return to NASCAR

By Jenna Fryer Feb. 02, 2021 02:43 PM EST
Hendrick Motorsports signed its first two sponsors for Kyle Larson, a promising sign as the driver attempts to rebuild his image after his use of a racial slur...

FILE - NASCAR driver Tony Stewart takes a ride on Jeff Gordon's race car in the pit during the Nextel Prelude to the Dream at Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio, in this Wednesday, June 6, 2007, file photo. Tony Stewart wants to set the record straight about two misconstrued recent business decisions. Fans have been critical of Stewart since the Truck Series was dropped from Eldora Speedway and because he didn't sign Kyle Larson to his NASCAR team. Stewart is adamant that he tried to sign Larson but couldn't get partner approval on the driver suspended for using a racial slur. And he insists he dropped NASCAR after he felt slighted that Bristol Motor Speedway was given a Cup race on dirt. (Teesha McClam/Dayton Daily News via AP, File)
