Recently, there were reports of Kyle Larson turning up in Philadelphia. It is worth noting that a lot of top NASCAR figures are present in the city for a meeting regarding the Urban Youth Racing School. Larson is in no way involved with the school. Instead, he has a different subject to discuss- his potential return to the sport.
Talking about the school, it was founded in 1998 with the aim to provide education for underprivileged children. Aside from racing and NASCAR ties, it also focuses on imparting education in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The school largely caters to children between the ages of 8 to 18.
The school boasts of more than 6,000 students participating in UYRS programs. As a further incentive, high-performing students earn trips to a New Jersey track with go-karts and other smaller vehicles.

Can Kyle Larson successfully petition NASCAR for a return?
Larson has been out of action for more than six months, as he is serving a suspension. Larson got into a heap of trouble with NASCAR for using a racial slur during an online race.
NASCAR clearly did not appreciate that, so they slapped him with a suspension. His employers, the Chip Ganassi Racing team, went a step further and fired him on the spot.
Since then, the repentant 28-year-old has been trying to earn a seat back in the sport. NASCAR has confirmed that they are in talks with the driver for a potential return. So it only makes sense that Larson has turned up at Philadelphia to try and convince Phelps to get him back to the sport.
So far, there has been no formal request for his reinstatement; however, there are discussions surrounding his potential reinstatement. He has kept himself occupied with sprint car races so as to hone his craft during these tough times.
