Larson will race this weekend in a Late Model
I seen some practice laps on a video,,,I think he will be just fine...
We find out tomorrow
Sure, I'll say it........he wins the first race.
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 👍
Tony Stewart had no problem adapting to a late model, why would Kyle?
I have read alot of talk about Larson not being use to a full body car. He won races in a Super Late model on asphalt... full body car. Won races in Nascar in a full body car. Why is this being a topic?
I guess we will see starting tomorrow night fellas . Keep in mind all 3 nights are short race’s. That will actually help Larson.
Idk... Donny Schatz has not shown to much in his Late Model.
Larson>Schatz
Test today went well too
For Thursday night Im expecting him to qualify around 18th out of 30 in his group which would put him starting around 6th in his heat... probably finish in the 5-7 range. Run the consi and finish 4-5 missing the feature. Then with laps under his belt and car adjustments make the show one or both of the next nights.
I like DS. But, he is no kyle larson, kyle has shown he climbs in any type of open wheel machine. Open karts at millbridge to a usac champ car at the Hoosier 100 and he wins. I don't think DS can do that as fast as kyle adapts. Let's not forget the crew chief that will be in his pit. Today's SLM wants and likes to be driven hard and I think that's right up young monies style. Can he win ? O heck yes. Will he win ? Will see, not Thursday, maybe Friday and by Saturday it would not surprise me at all.
The sawblade 6 car will be the fastest car at the track this weekend.........up to Kyle to find out just how fast,and I think he will.
The whole thing just feels right anyway.
It will be an exciting 3 nights of Dirt late model racing (hopefully hurricane after affects will not drop rain on central PA during this event). This will be a good test for Larson with good competition.
Good competition is the understatement of the year.......that's getting thrown right into the fire right there.
I wonder if he’ll run with supers like run Lucas shows or if he’ll just run every once in awhile meaning switch up between 410s an supers but run sprints mostly.
He will be back in NASCAR soon. They need talent badly.
They need MILLIONS of $$ more badly! Talent isn't that much of an issue. Larson in a Super against this competition level, I'm afraid will be very tough. A week ago with the Summer Nationals would be a much different story. Like a lot of situations, a timing issue.
Does the Cornett engine have enough power to put Kyle Larson up front ? That is the question !
Kyle Larson will learn a lot this weekend. He is extremely talented and has proven he can win in anything. With that being said it appears there will be 50-60 cars there and it will be the best of the best. Being realistic I think Larson will struggle to make the feature tonight, he will make it and run Top 10 Friday, and he will run Top 5 on Saturday.I would not be shocked if we won one night, but I would be surprised.Now the important part - can you buy a Kyle Larson Late Model t-shirt online? And if so, where?
Kyle Larson is simply not talented enough to beat a guy like Earl Pearson. I also remember when Tim Mccreadie tried to race DLM. It was just too hard for him.
Can Kyle continue his winning wars in a DLM? Of course, he’s crazy talented.
Will Kyle continue his winning ways in DLM? Probably not this weekend.
I was being sarcastic. The dude is one of the best racers in the world. If Kevin doesn't give him some crazy setup to drive, he will run well.
The hike up/down issue, which can hurt your entry, is about all that would be somewhat foreign to him. He will be more than fine.
Of course he can compete and win and do it right away...
Hasnt Ricky Thornton Jr. been showing up once in while and winning on Woo and 2nd at Silver Dollar Nationals? Its already been done and done this year against all the best..
I’d rather see Bubba Pollard in that 6 car. He is a better driver than Larson.
I think it's amusing how many DLM apparently feel threatened by Kyle Larson potentially being successful.
Keneseth was good. Not GREAT. He did win a series Championship but didn't even win a race that year. Other than the incident with Logano (which I'm sure some drivers were glad to see happen) he was a pretty well respected driver on and off the track. They just needed a experienced safe bet when they hired him.
