Kyle Larson will be competing in two races at Nashville Superspeedway. Larson will drive the No. 88 car for JR Motorsports in the NASCAR O’Reilly Series race at Nashville on Saturday night, the entry list revealed. The Hendrick Motorsports driver replaces Alex Bowman, who was scheduled to drive the JR Motorsports entry.
Bowman was also supposed to race the No. 88 car at Darlington Raceway, but vertigo knocked him out of the event. There are no reasons given as to why the Hendrick Motorsports driver isn’t driving the entry, but it is fair to assume that his focus remains on the Cup Series and his personal life.

Larson hopes to continue JR Motorsports’ incredible stretch of races in the O’Reilly Series. JR Motorsports is coming off a win at Charlotte Motor Speedway after Ross Chastain won a rain-shortened event. Now, Larson hopes to secure another victory for the organization in 2026.
