Hendrick Motorsports' president has publicly rejected what he described as "wild social media theories" surrounding driver Kyle Larson, stating "I did not get that memo" in response to unspecified online speculation.
The comments come amid ongoing discussion about Larson, who drives the No. 5 HendrickCars.com Chevrolet for the team. Crew chief Cliff Daniels was photographed conferring with Larson during qualifying for the NASCAR Cup Series Ally 400 at Nashville Superspeedway in Lebanon, Tennessee, on June 29, 2024.
Details of the specific social media theories were not disclosed in the statement. Hendrick Motorsports, one of NASCAR's most successful organizations, has not released further clarification on the nature of the online rumors or the president's full remarks.
