Why are fans doubting Kyle Larson?

Some fans, dubbed 'NASCarolinas' by the author, are quick to write off Larson after a few poor results. They argue that his aggressive style and attempts at other racing disciplines, like the Indy 500, have 'scrambled his brain.' However, Larson’s approach is what sets him apart. He races to win, not just to finish, and that mentality has made him one of the greatest drivers in NASCAR.
