NOTE: First, sorry for any coke bottle picture quality you may experience. Second, there were a bunch more planes (like DH's all black, badass jet), but they weren't on a part of the tarmac that was really relevant to me. Third, I now realize the description for the Stewart picture gets cut off if you're not on imgur, so here's the story. -We're sitting there on the tarmac, just about to leave, and a black Tahoe rolls up. It took a double take or two, but I realized it was Stewart. He rolled down his window and started asking directions to his plane. It was awesome.

(MFW Tony Stewart asks me directions to his airplane) -There was another guy in the Tahoe with him that I talked to for a minute or two. When he told me his name it sure sounded like his last name was Helton, but I thought I was crazy. If I saw a picture of him, I'd definitely recognize him.

Long day of traveling and delayed flights. Home for about 30 minutes now off to Martinsville. — Kyle Larson (@KyleLarsonRacin) Larson is an extraordinary talent in a race car, but when it comes to the way he travels, he’s more relatable to the rest of us. “Yeah, I fly commercial as much as I can and fly with the team,” Larson said. “That’s a lot of money to be private flying, especially to the West Coast.

I’m cheap with my money when it comes to flying. And, I like to rack up the miles so I can maybe get some free trips.” Larson admitted more people recognize him at the airport now that he has two Monster Energy Series wins under his belt and a threat to win on a regular basis. “They recognize me just a little bit. I’m better now,” Larson said.

For a while, Larson flew coach. But the frugal 24-year-old figured it was finally time to break down and at least fly at the front of the plane. “I’ll purchase a first class ticket now,” said Larson. “But, a couple of years ago, I know (Ricky) Stenhouse and Danica (Patrick), obviously she’s a very wealthy person, but she doesn’t understand why I would purchase a coach ticket when coach is $120 versus first class being $500.

“I’m going to save that money,” he added. “But now, I fly first class.

And, too, Owen (his son) is older than 2 years now, so you have to purchase him a seat, which really stinks.” Larson also shared that he actually likes commercial flying over the Chip Ganassi Racing team bird. “I’ll fly commercial as much as I can, especially the west coast stuff,” Larson said. “I think commercial is better.

The team plane, you have to stop for fuel. Commercial’s not bad.” Despite a more expensive first class ticket that Larson is hesitant to purchase, he’s still able to save a few pennies by skipping out on the airplane snacks. “I sleep,” he said. “Sleep is more important than those.”.
