Kyle Larson: Talladega Nights took NASCAR and "turned our sport into a joke"

Kyle Larson spent over 90 minutes chatting with Julian Edelman on his podcast, Games with Names, tackling a variety of topics. It was a fascinating and candid sitdown with the Hendrick Motorsports driver, who talked about everything from the Coke 600/Indy 500 double to secret driver group chats, life on the road, and racing idols.

But about 43 minutes into the interview, the subject of racing movies came up. Larson was quick to name Days of Thunder as his favorite NASCAR movie. Starring Tom Cruise, the 1990 film remains a beloved classic by NASCAR fans. Cruise has even indicated that he is open to making a sequel, even discussing it with Jeff Gordon.
