His inaugural sprint car victory came at Placerville Speedway, making him one of the youngest competitors in the sport at the time. In an impressive display of skill, he clinched victory in all three categories of USAC cars in a single evening at the 2011 4-Crown Nationals held at Eldora Speedway, a feat achieved by only one other driver in history. Larson secured two silver crown race wins during that season and was recognized as the 2011 Rookie of the Year.

In January 2023, it was revealed that Larson is set to make an exciting attempt to participate in the 2024 Indianapolis 500, driving for Arrow McLaren.
