Charlotte, NC – NASCAR star Kyle Larson was rushed to the hospital after collapsing during a pre-race warm-up session at the Charlotte Motor Speedway on Saturday.

According to eyewitnesses, Larson was participating in a pre-race driver meeting when he suddenly collapsed and fell to the ground. The event was broadcast live on TV, and fans were shocked as the driver’s team and medical personnel rushed to his aid.
Larson was conscious and responsive when he was transported to the hospital, but his condition has been described as “serious” by medical officials.
“We are deeply concerned about Kyle’s health and well-being,” said Chip Ganassi Racing, Larson’s team. “We will provide updates as more information becomes available.”
