“This is before I like made a lot of money” – $12M-worth Kyle Larson once recounted awkward steakhouse dinner with pregnant wife

Kyle Larson took a trip down memory lane when he recounted a not-so-good date experience with his wife Katelyn Sweet. The Hendrick Motorsports driver took his wife, Sweet, who was then pregnant, to a date at a steakhouse and had an experience to forget.

In a conversation on the “Smoking Tire” podcast, Larson recalled that Sweet unintentionally “puked” as they ordered dinner. Interestingly, the #5 driver did not throw away the dinner but sat there and “ate it.”

“Katelyn when she was pregnant with Owen, she was going through the whole morning sickness stuff. So, we go to the casino, there’s a steakhouse in it and you know, we’re sitting at the table and just ordered our dinner and she was sitting there,” Larson began.

Saying that Katelyn suddenly started feeling unwell, he continued:
“Grabs her napkin and throws up over and under the napkin, on her lap, it’s like, the table’s full of puke. And you know this was before I made a lot of money so (it was) an expensive steak, (I thought that) I’m gonna sit there and eat the steak. It was disgusting but I ate a good steak.”

Kyle Larson is currently worth $12 million (as per Celebrity Net Worth). Him and Sweet have been married for five years. They started dating around 2014 and married in 2018. They have two children named Owen and Audrey.

Former NASCAR driver Kevin Harvick lauded Kyle Larson and his team, Hendrick Motorsports on a recent episode of his “Happy Hour” podcast following their Brickyard 400 win at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

“At the end of that race, their (HMS) strategy put Larson in position to do things that everybody else wasn’t able to do. Everybody in front of him was saving gas. They were too disadvantaged on tires. He found a very unique way to enter the corner and go through the center of the corner to put himself in position to make passes and ultimately everything fell his way,” Harvick said.

Larson currently leads the regular season standings. He has 749 points under his belt after 22 races, compared to his HMS teammate Chase Elliott’s 739. Both of them have already qualified for the playoffs this season, as have two of their teammates, William Byron and Alex Bowman.
