At 16, the young racer with big aspirations found himself behind the wheel of his first racecar walking away with “Rookie of the Year” honors his first season and winning a ‘Track Championship’ in the ‘Super Stock’ Division the following season.

Over the past decade Larson has accumulated an impressive list of racing accomplishments including numerous Track Championships in multiple classes with over 60 Feature Wins to his credit. Of all his accomplishments, when asked which are most memorable, Larson describes the past season as the most memorable and rewarding. “We fought tooth and nail, down to the wire, to the very last race, needing a feature win to earn a one point margin of victory. Without a doubt, our team winning the DTRA Championship was one of the most rewarding accomplishments of my racing career.”

The Larson family currently resides in beautiful Lake Elmo, Minnesota. At home, Brent’s passion is for and his family, where he and wife Nena are the proud parents of Madeline 4, and potential future racer Matthew, age 2.

In light of all his success, you might think Brent would be a hard guy to find. Not the case, at the completion of any given race, win, lose or draw, it’s easy to spot the outgoing Larson, his wife and family. They can usually be found in the pits serving up pizza and talking with race fans, crew members, and friends until the early morning hours....it’s the Larson family way.
