In a momentous tribute to one of dirt racing’s modern legends, Eldora Speedway has unveiled a life-size bronze statue of NASCAR and sprint car superstar Kyle Larson. The statue, crafted by renowned motorsports sculptor Lou Cella, captures Larson in his iconic post-race victory stance, helmet in hand, eyes lifted toward the grandstands.

The ceremony, held at Eldora’s infield stage before a packed crowd of fans and fellow drivers, celebrated Larson’s remarkable impact on the sport, particularly his dominance on dirt tracks across the country. Eldora, often called “The House that Earl Built,” has been central to Larson’s dirt racing career, hosting many of his most electrifying performances.

Lou Cella, known for statues of sports greats like Harry Caray and Michael Jordan, said Larson’s pose was chosen to symbolize humility and determination—traits that have endeared him to fans nationwide. The statue now stands permanently near the main entrance, alongside tributes to other dirt track legends.

Larson, visibly emotional during the unveiling, thanked the Eldora community, saying, “This track made me. To be honored here means everything.” The monument cements his legacy not just as a racer, but as a defining figure in modern American motorsports.
