Racing fans love a good rivalry, but when it comes to the next generation of drivers, some names are already making waves—especially among the kids of current NASCAR stars. One name that keeps popping up is “Bratson” (a playful take on Carson Kvapil’s name), a young driver who’s been turning heads. But let’s be real—some fans think the kid needs to dial down the arrogance a bit.

And then there’s Owen Larson, son of NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Larson. Owen’s been quietly building his own reputation in the karting world, and many believe he’s got even more natural talent than Bratson. While both young racers have plenty of time to develop, the early comparisons are already heating up.
Bratson’s Rise and Confidence—Or Cockiness?
Carson Kvapil, aka “Bratson” to some, is already making noise in late model racing. He’s got speed, aggression, and a lot of confidence—maybe a little too much, if you ask some fans. His performances have been solid, but the attitude? Some say it borders on arrogance. Of course, confidence is key in racing, but there’s a fine line between self-assurance and rubbing people the wrong way.
Owen Larson: The Silent Assassin?
On the other hand, Owen Larson is following in his father’s tire tracks, steadily developing as a young racer. Kyle Larson is one of the most naturally gifted drivers of this era, and it looks like Owen might be inheriting that skill. Unlike Bratson, Owen seems to let his driving do the talking. Fans who have seen him race say he has smooth, calculated moves—just like his dad.
Who’s Got the Edge?
It’s too early to say which of these young talents will make it big, but if we’re talking about raw skill and pedigree, Owen Larson might have the upper hand. Bratson’s confidence can be an asset, but if he’s not careful, it could also turn people against him. In the long run, the ones who stay humble and keep learning are usually the ones who go the farthest.
So, what do you think? Is Bratson’s confidence justified, or does he need to tone it down? And will Owen Larson be the next big name in racing? One thing’s for sure—the future of motorsports is in good hands.
