Somewhere in the U.S. on Monday, Kyle Larson was bored while travelling.
The Chip Ganassi Racing driver, fresh off his win at Michigan on Sunday, decided the solution to this problem was an impromptu Q&A session on Twitter.
Larson took questions for an hour about his past, future and flossing habits (they don’t exist).
Here’s some of the best answers from the now three-time Cup winner.
One of the most frequently asked questions around Larson is will he ever compete in the Indianapolis 500?
Larson seems pretty sure it’ll happen at some point.
I think so. Hopefully I'll get the courage in the next few years

Larson was asked what his dream track to build would be if money wasn’t an option.
3/8 dirt track. Longer straightaways with somewhat tight corners and progressive banking with a wall

The day after Joey Logano announced he and his wife were expecting their first child, the Team Penkse account requested some fatherly advice for their driver. Larson is father to 2-year-old son, Owen.
Haha sleep whenever you can!

One of Larson’s primary sponsors is Target, the retail chain based in Minnesota that has sponsored Chip Ganassi Racing since before Larson was born in 1992
Larson was asked about his shopping habits at the store.
Umm probably 800 bucks and my card declined. Embarrassing

Larson was also asked what the biggest moment of his racing career was. He chose his sweep of the 4-Crown Nationals, a USAC event at Eldora Speedway, on Sept. 24, 2011.
For my career definitely 4 crown. Most special win was my first outlaw win at chico

On whether it’s part of a driver’s job to sign autographs:
It's impossible to please everyone. We always come out looking like the bad guy if we can't sign for everybody.

And finally, who is the one Cup driver Larson wants to compete against in a race on a dirt track:
Kyle Busch would be extremely good in a sprint car so probably him
