Kyle Larson and Kevin Harvick criticize NASCAR race lengths on TV

Kyle Larson and Kevin Harvick have voiced concerns about the length of NASCAR Cup races during a recent discussion. Larson, who experienced an early exit at the Brickyard 400, believes that three-hour races are too lengthy and fail to keep fans engaged. Harvick echoed this sentiment, suggesting that race procedures need to be streamlined to save time without reducing race distances. So far in the 2026 season, 13 of the 20 Cup races have exceeded three hours, with some surpassing three and a half hours. Both drivers have called for NASCAR to evaluate its processes to ensure more efficient race completion.
