Larson...Better than Good, Elite is the Word

[MUD MAESTRO]

Made these LM guys scratch their heads.

[NeedforLM$peed]

Doubt it. Maybe if he was running full time.

[TerryM]

LOL ... you knew at least one thick head would disagree.

[francisfan]

Won by 15 seconds .. crazy .. he is good ..

[50Dixon50]

Unbelievable laped up to 8th place 15 second lead

[MUD MAESTRO]

I saw AJ Foyt on dirt. Larson may be his reincarnation.

[ZERO25]

Lets not put him in the hof just yet.......hes only won on big slick momentum tracks!

[Rajflyboy]

Lets not put him in the hof just yet.......hes only won on big slick momentum tracks!Yep. This track and only 50 laps made it his from the get go. I don’t think the regulars are that worried. Speed weeks is mostly testing for them anyways.

[ZERO25]

He's extremely talented but I need to see him on some get up on the wheel tracks like Macon, Pevely, or Eastbay!

[WisWildManFan]

If you can’t see he is on another level you’re nuts. He just beat the beat guys in the country by 2/3 of a lap. I can’t wait to see him bang the cushion at fals!

[Rajflyboy]

This is man crush city 😜

[WisWildManFan]

He's extremely talented but I need to see him on some get up on the wheel tracks like Macon, Pevely, or Eastbay!He won the last time I was at i55 along with setting the track record the night prior. Heard he might run late model at dome next year that should suffice for ya lol

[TUTY]

He definitely was on another planet tonight. But it is true he’s not nearly as good on the smaller tracks.

[PAbigbear]

The Chili Bowl was a small track.

[NeedforLM$peed]

All Tech configuration is more for Sprint car and big block modified racing.

[BloomerWon]

All Tech configuration is more for Sprint car and big block modified racing.

He should do ok on them tracks configured for super LMs then... 🙃

[MUD MAESTRO]

All Tech was slick racy just like the best LM guys like.

[EvelB7]

The guy is truly talented, then you put him with Kevin Rumley.....15 second win!!!!

[ZERO25]

He won the last time I was at i55 along with setting the track record the night prior. Heard he might run late model at dome next year that should suffice for ya lol

In a late model?......thank ya!

[ZERO25]

Bingo........now the search is on for Rumleys newest gadget!

[NeedforLM$peed]

Didn't take my stalker long to respond. 13 mins.

[Kryptonite17]

The Rumley 6 is a great ride no doubt, BUT there is NO other race car driver on this planet, be it nascar, Indy car, formula 1, open wheel etc etc who can climb into that car and beat that stout of a field. Let alone do it by 15 seconds. You better put some respect on that mans name. This is great for the sport, embrace it, enjoy it and be glad you’re alive to see it. The best part about it is that you can tell he is loving every second of driving these cars.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

Doubt it. Maybe if he was running full time.Dude. Give credit where it is due. He is very good, even better than I thought. You want him to win a Lucas or WoO Championship this year or next if he ran? Which won’t happen since the devil himself Mr Hendrick picked him up.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

This is man crush city Absolutely is becoming that. It’s before your eyes, he is that good.

[NeedforLM$peed]

This is man crush city 

I can think of a few here that definitely have one...

[intel8]

Again! Until he runs a Cedar Lake, Fairbury, I 55 not gonna crown him as the best, he is very good.

[fryefan]

Him and Christopher Bell are by far the best wheelmen in racing. They win whether they are running midgets, sprint cars, etc. I hope Christopher gets into a late model at some point.

[B_K]

I’m not saying he’s the best SLM driver I’ve ever seen, but I struggle to name anyone I’ve seen that’s better on dirt. If you don’t see it, it’s only because you don’t want to.

[dirtcrazy4u]

Kyle Larson is one b*d *SS mother f**ker. Going to miss him on dirt. When the 49 shot past him on that restart I thought good let's see if he can run him down. I figured he got schooled. He did. On that next restart he just showed I'm not here to run for second. Credit has to go to Rumley there is no doubt, but with the track being what it was it took a lot of driver input to do what he did. Don't go kid kyle don't go. Nascrap, blah.

[Rajflyboy]

Shep and Jimmy were fast but just did not qualify well.

[3 wide]

It don't matter whether it's a midget sprint or late model he is bad news on dirt look how many sprint races he won last year against real stiff competition those woo guys are serious.

[Rollover]

He just beat some of the best LM drivers in the world by 15 seconds, you doubters have NO argument

[kazual]

I’m still surprised to see Hendrick allowing him to drive on dirt at all. If he’s running East Bay next week it just sold out. First two spots to Longhorn, may have been some post race head scratching going on at the Davenport and McCreadie super alliance group.

[nc mudcat]

.....Going to miss him on dirt. When the 49 shot past him on that restart I thought good let's see if he can run him down. .....

Why are you going to miss him on dirt? He just announced he would run 20 late model shows and over 30 open wheel shows this year. That's more than most full time dirt guys run.

[dirtcrazy4u]

Larson ran a true outlaw schedule. I'm old, I'm used to seeing guys do that. Today the woo doesn't allow guys to run outside there schedule. I hope kyle has a tremendous year on dirt. As for the taxi can racing. Blah, but my wish for him. He dominates the taxi circuit.

[Highside Hustler25]

kazual, no East Bay. Believe he's done till March.

It will be interesting to follow Rico Abreu in the Paul Silva #57 this year. Will Rico be able to come close to the success that Kyle had in that equipment. We know it's a top notch ride. Was it all Kyle or was the ride that good. Time will tell.

It's not Paul's car somebody else owns it

Easley found just look in the driver seat!🤫

[Hoosier_Dirt]

Given time, he'd be one of, if not the best. At Portsmouth and Charlotte last year he seemed lost and out of place. Now if he were to go back to those places, he'd probably be better. I'd like to see him at some bullring like Pevely and Fairbury to see how he'd do. Again with time, I'm sure he'd adjust. The guy is undoubtedly a tremendous talent, and with Rumley turning the wrenches, they are a awesome combo.

[TOPSIDE TIMMY 39FAN]

No east bay for k larson. All-tech was only race for speedweeks for him

[dirtcrazy4u]

I thought east bay was originally on his schedule ? Whats up with that ? I know, I know. JD cried because his car was junk and he wants the magic man in his pit at east bay. Let's see if they share info now.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

Let's see if they share info now.Because of NASCAR and Daytona and Covid, All Tech was all he was able to do. Was on DoD I think, read it somewhere about a week ago I think.

[Dlmfan123]

He said in the dod recap he is gonna try and be able to run at volusia a couple nights

[ZERO25]

The spelling of easily is the 2nd question on the GED test. Right after the correct spelling of your name at the top of the page.

Back in the day when the IMCA was king. The Star drivers would race under assumed names so they could make a living under those strict rules. Of course they were found out and suspensions were handed out. Id bet 13 time IMCA champ Ernie Derr would have had 100 or more victories accredited to his resume.

JD is happy. Said for the last 20 laps he was running equal times to Larson.

[swartzguy]

Now that's just funny!

That was spell check but not the same as what i meant lol

Your spell check must have meant Kenny Easley, former defensive back for the Seattle Seahawks. I know this because I'm old.

he was next to get lapped, kyle didnt have any tear offs the last 20 laps and im sure rumley told him to ease up on it lol

ya think Kev called him or just sent a text:confused:

[TOPSIDE TIMMY 39FAN]

He used messanger thru FB.

[weatherman85]

Wonder how many cars would have finished on the lead lap had Kyle started on the front row.

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

Wonder how many cars would have finished on the lead lap had Kyle started on the front row.

I think he would have gotten 3 or 4 more, based on my napkin math.

[TS FAN]

The facts are on the track. He adjusts as fast as anyone I have seen in 70 years. Very few drivers can claim that. I am thinking with the one day Nascar shows, He may drive at the Big E the week of the dream. When he said 20 LM races, I forgot about the several one day Nascar shows this year.

This is just a guess, but one reason HMS may allow him to race Dirt, Attract sponsors. Still need sponsors for his Nascar ride and once the gutlessness of Corp sponsors subsides, he will attract plenty IMO

[TeNfOMaFiA69]

he was next to get lapped, kyle didnt have any tear offs the last 20 laps and im sure rumley told him to ease up on it lol

I don’t think he did... Kyle said after Port Royal that he doesn’t have a person with sticks, and only would communicate with Rumley by hand gestures under caution... and there was no cautions at AllTech so....

[TOPSIDE TIMMY 39FAN]

^^^ this is correct as they dont use signals w the sprints ^^^

[Billy_the_kid]

is shepp out as the best driver?

[Rajflyboy]

300.. 400 laps... NASCAR race Those crew members will be bolting on new right rear sheet metal rather often (that’s my prediction)

Yep. This track and only 50 laps made it his from the get go. I don’t think the regulars are that worried. Speed weeks is mostly testing for them anyways.





I disagree. Larson has extensive experience with managing tires and saving them. A 100 lap race plays even more to his advantage.

[King1]

Why does Larson have to win at Macon and Fairbury in order to gain your respect??? Bloomquist is labeled the goat and he didn’t make his living at fals and Macon.

There’s something to be said about a guy that can navigate a slick race track and a guy that can build a setup to rotate perfectly through the black stuff.

Is bangin the cushion in a wingless sprint or a midget that is a much less stable car not good enough for you? You act like DLM’s are the epitome of difficult cars. If anything nowadays it’s tougher to get grip in the setup than it is for the drivers to drive a gripped up car.

Put everybody in a 99 model car on a set of twin tube Carreras, one spring per corner, 430 18* motor, and a set of 55’s on east bay at the end of the week and You’ll find real quick that half of these jokers that are up front now aren’t near the driver you think they are.

There’s a reason I haven’t watched a dirt race since September, I just remembered why.
