Anybody with updates ?

Sheppard and Larson on front row

[dirtSLMracing]

Also Kyle Strickler's car was a bare frame on Monday.

[TerryM]

Doing some track prep before the B-Mains. Scraping the cushion off.

[TOPSIDE TIMMY 39FAN]

Also Kyle Strickler's car was a bare frame on Monday.

Yea he was at longhorn updating car i believe.

[Rajflyboy]

Shepp and Larson. Could be exciting.

[TerryM]

So far, pretty much every SLM race tonight has been decided in Turns 1-2 on the first lap. After that, it mostly looks like a Cup race at Pocono, with a big gap between positions. Hopefully the feature will provide a wider track and lapped traffic will come into play. The initial start will be huge, and Larson has already shown he’s not afraid to slide ya. And of course, this isn’t a points race for BShepp, so neither has anything to lose by driving a little wild. Should be interesting!

[Rajflyboy]

I hate the first turn races but seems to a trend as of late

[dirtSLMracing]

Yea he was at longhorn updating car i believe.

The announcer on Lucas Oil TV said it was "a bare frame on Monday" 312 times in the last 3 days.

[TerryM]

Deck height violation for Owens. He has to start on the rear.

[Rajflyboy]

Deck height violation for Owens. He has to start on the rear.With the Larson boy in the house was this #20 penalty a NASCAR like deal?

[JDawg4343]

The announcer on Lucas Oil TV said it was "a bare frame on Monday" 312 times in the last 3 days.

I thought we were gonna get a break from Bob Dillner, and actually have some good announcing.
Besides "bare frame", the guy is also stuck on "close quarter racing" and "he slightly brushes the wall"

[drich24]

Wish Huddy would get out of the way.

[TerryM]

Larson wins!!!!

[fryefan]

Young Money leads all 50 laps!!!

[grumfan]

Larson beats Shep by .5 sec, then Satterlee, Fergie and McCreadie

B Shepp and Jimmy Owens are going to teach the youngster about racing full body cars and then. Then It won’t be long before Larson will be working out at that CrossFit Overton place trying to catch up to the real competition 👍

How'd that work out for you Rajflyboy ? LMAO SMH !!

[BTExpress]

.....How many on this board said it couldn't be done????? Folks you are witnessing greatness in the summer of 2020......Congratulations to Yung Money!!!!!

[GottaGoFast]

Hey moderator, can you please ban all the dumb effer's on this site that said this was not going to happen. Constant yapping about how we were all delusional because we knew he had a chance to win. Ha ha ha. Seriously though. Go away forever. You clearly know nothing about dirt racing.

[BTExpress]

It is actually good for DLM racing that Larson won tonight. The spotlight will be on the sport all over the country tomorrow.....

Post of the month ! I swear they talk just to hear themselves .

[lurker]

Glad I got to see two of his wins in a midget, and glad for those in attendance at Port Royal.

[Bill31]

Lot of crow for dinner tmrow from a lot of posters lol

[WisWildManFan]

I just hope he wins in that 14 car otherwise it makes dirt racing look like a joke. Kind of like when bloomer finished 2 laps down in a KBM truck at eldora. Anyways Kyle Larson has to be the most talented I’ve seen on dirt. Unreal.

[CIRF]

Which is it boys? Are late models a little easier to drive than we've been led to believe or is Larson that much better than the guys driving those late models? You boys make the call!

Larson just kicked ass and took names against the best generic dirt late models have to offer. Sheppard, who is arguably one of the 2 or 3 best drivers in the country had nothing for him.

Let's see here, Larson has won races driving:

1. Midgets
2. Wingless sprint cars
3. Winged sprint cars.
4. USAC Silver Crown Cars
5. Asphalt super late models.
6. NASCAR Trucks on both dirt & pavement.
7. NASCAR Xfinity series.
8. NASCAR Cup series.
9. Daytona Prototype sports car.

Am I forgetting any?

The Kentucky Derby is coming up soon. If he gets a ride in that I'd bet on him to win it, too! LOL!


Drink it in folks. This kid is making history every time he takes a green flag.

The only option is A: We’re watching a generational talent.

My wife and I have been cheering him on every lap this weekend and, thanks to FloRacing, a whole lot of sprint races since early June. He’s just a special talent, and a really fine young man. Can’t wait to get the shirt I ordered yesterday lol.

[intel8]

I'd have to see him do 100 laps at Cedar Lake or Fairbury before I crown the King! Lol....

[chathamracefan]

If someone gave him an indy car ride I’d be at the Sportsbook as soon as possible to bet on him to win next years 500.

[TDRacin®]

Welp. Not sure what else he can do to prove to the world he is the baddest mfer in a racecar right now. Unreal!

[weatherman85]

Congrats to Kyle Larson on the win!!! Dude can flat out just drive anything.

[15b24fan]

I would love to see Larson run the Indy 500 and really round out his resume. Kurt Busch and AJ Allmendinger didn't embarrass themselves when they ran it. Give Kyle a good ride and I think he could do ok. I still believe he will be back in Nascar because of the money, but I sure he keeps kicking up dirt when he can!

[CIRF]

I'd have to see him do 100 laps at Cedar Lake or Fairbury before I crown the King! Lol....Still don't believe, do ya'. Or maybe you just don't wanna' believe!

He just did 100 miles/laps about a week ago in a type of racecar that he hasn't driven for 9 years. Yep, he won!

I watched Larson race a midget 100 laps (actually it was 98 laps) at Perris, California in the 2012 Turkey Night Grand Prix against the likes of Tracy Hines, Bryan Clauson, Jerry Coons Jr. among others. Yep, he won! Do you see a pattern here?

What makes CL and Fairbury so tough? They're both just another dirt race track. Larson raced with the WoO's at Fairbury twice. Finished 2nd in 2018 and won in 2019.

There is little doubt Larson could win at either one of those tracks.

I'd give odds the best and brightest dirt late model drivers and crew chiefs are scratching their heads right now wondering what the he!! makes this kid so good.

Me too 15b24fan. Larson could not only win the 500 in a competitive car but he'd be the most popular and anticipated driver to race in the Indy 500 since Rick Mears. I've gotta' believe there are many people among the Indy Car ranks that have thoughts right now of attempting to entice Larson to race in the 500. Roger Penske knows better than anyone how much attention Larson would bring to The Speedway during the month of May.

By GOD, All of the touting the last few years about this kids INCREDIBLE talent and I will be the first to step on up and admit that you in your great wisdom was SPOT ON ! ! ! ! I have a feeling that if the phenom can win in an awkward looking and " slow cumbersome " dirt late model , then he can win in ANYTHING !! Whats next ? Oswego super mods ?

[intel8]

CIRF, He started on the front row, Lucas Oil has to love this exposure to stick it to NASCAR. Still gotta see him on a bullring to see the talent.

[BirkyTime15B]

All the haters are missing in action. Lol. Wow!!!!

[fryefan]

Those of us that have seen him win numerous times in midgets, sprint cars, etc. are NOT the least bit surprised that he won in his 2nd night in a late model.

[CIRF]

Ahhh, I see. It was easy and Sheppard laid down and let Larson win. Okay. Have it your way! You'd better hurry and eat up so as you don't let your crow get cold. LOL!

Do bullrings require exponentially more talent, skill and bravery? If so what makes you believe Larson couldn't win at Fairbury, or Macon? Splain it for us uninformed.

We've all watched Larson race on a maybe the toughest bull ring of them all in the biggest, best and most competitive dirt race year in and year out. He won it just last January. It's called The Chili Bowl.

Larson is without a doubt the best dirt racer in the world today. Maybe ever! You don't have to admit it to know it's true. LOL!

[CIRF]

All the haters are missing in action. Lol. Wow!!!!All but intel8. He's stickin' around 'till the bitter end! It's gotta' be a tough pill for him to swallow! LOL!

[intel8]

Relax CIRF, I'm just saying it's one race, That being on a half mile paperclip track. I am a fan, but not crowning him king yet.

[King1]

I’m not the least bit surprised. You could see how disgusted Sheppard was. But you know what, just because that’s the only car you’ve ever driven doesn’t mean you’re the best in that class.
You guys are forgetting that Larson has waaaaaay more experience and felt waaaaaaaay more things in a race car than anyone in the field tonight.
Larson is a race car driver, get over it.
I’m sure everyone in the field will now (in their mind) put an asterisk beside any win they get going forward, because they’ll wonder what it would’ve been had Larson have been there.

[racingfool32]

Beginners luck. 😉

Someone get him a USMTS mod ride to round out his dirt resume’.

[Rajflyboy]

With Overton Not there and the 20 Forced to start in the back and the fact that it was only 50 Laps .. all contributed to the win although B Shepp is strong.

[dirtcrazy4u]

He got it done, period. I said by Saturday he had a chance. After all the rain port royal had a great track come feature time. They were running different lines all through the corners. Shep said he was saving tires and I was surprised to hear Larson say he ran it hard for a couple laps then back down so as not to spin the tires. If anyone didn't like that race your lost. We must give credit to Rumley to because neither he nor KL expected the win. I liked when he said the 6 car may have a few more races planned with Kyle. Interesting, I sure hope so. We now understand who made JD king. Impressed by many last night in oh so many ways. Some guy over at hose heads forum had a open letter to Roger Penske saying you better sign young money up American driver winning indy. Go for it Kyle, give us fans that love to see you on dirt more opportunities then if you went nascrap racing.

[Rajflyboy]

Rumley is impressive to say the least. He put this Larson deal together and brought a very good race car for him to drive. Why did JD leave that car a few years back?

[GottaGoFast]

Rajflyboy,So what you are telling us all is that 80% of Sheppard's, Overton's, and Owen's wins this year mean nothing this year because they started on the front row? Oh okay. Oh and that they mean even less because out of all those victories only 20% of them were with all 3 of those drivers entered in the same event. You are so smart. Wish I was as informed as you are.

[Rajflyboy]

I just enjoy more passing. Is that ok? This is racing right? I just don’t want too many rules in big time slm racing. We don’t need all the cars being too close in lap times. Larson is good but he will move back up to the big leagues and things will get back to normal here. Why did JD and a Rumley part ways? That was a very special combination.

[Jking24]

While I'm not the least bit surprised larson won. Im a fan but i do think this was a little bit of a Cinderella story. I don't think Sheppard was bothered by the fact that larson won i think he was bothered by all the cautions. He clearly had a better car in the long runs and in the early part of the race was just pacing larson to take care of his tires. I think he was so disgusted in victory lane because he could've passed the guy earlier but didn't push the envelope beings it was so early in the race.

[Highside Hustler25]

Just sent Kyle a P.M. to see if he wants to drive my hornet at Peoria next week.

[weatherman85]

JD and Rumley’s split because the Rumley’s wanted to scale back and not run a full national tour. They’d went out and proved what they wanted to prove with JD. JD wanted to keep going after championships.

[TeNfOMaFiA69]

Enjoys more passing...

Lives in the south....


Lol

[BloomerWon]

Just sent Kyle a P.M. to see if he wants to drive my hornet at Peoria next week.

Great choice! He couldn't do any worse then you... :p

[BloomerWon]

Check them there tars!!!

[BloomerWon]

JD was experiencing toxic poisoning from tire fumes. He's now experiencing withdrawals...

[b1eagle]

That is right we need talent like that

[ZERO25]

Larson is without a doubt the best dirt racer in the world today. Maybe ever! You don't have to admit it to know it's true. LOL!

Except for Thursday nite!

He's not quite ready to take the goat crown from the Zero!

[Highside Hustler25]

Great choice! He couldn't do any worse then you... :p

250 to win on the 19th. I'd split that purse with him.🙃
