Former NASCAR Cup Series driver Kyle Larson is set to race for the first time since his firing last month for using a racial slur during a virtual race.

Larson will drive for his own sprint car team in Friday's World of Outlaws event at Knoxville Raceway in Iowa. The dirt track race, which will be closed to the fans, is the first since the series was shut down in February due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
