I can not communicate how great I think this young man is. I'm 60 so I saw Foyt and Andretti in the 2nd half of their careers. Whatever this man gets in he gets to the front. Congratulations Yung Money!I hope to see you in more dirt late model races.
Truly a great racer. Congrats to the new champion.
Larson is not only a generational talent, he's in the conversation of one of very few and special all around talent's. For those of us who didn't get to see and experience Foyt, Andretti, Parnelli Jones and Dan Gurney we're seeing a young man who can be favorable compared to all four of those drivers. THAT is some rare air, indeed!
I feel hugely fortunate and honored to have seen and followed Kyle Larson in his successful quest to get his career rolling in midgets, sprint cars and Silver Crown cars over a decade ago and more recently in dirt late models. Every type of car he's ever raced he's been bad fast from the get-go and that is exceedingly rare.
I very much hope he someday gets a legitimate shot at Indy.
Rumble young man, rumble!!!
Have to agree cirf. We are witnessing a talent that I personally thought would never be again. You put Larson in anything and he takes it to the front. He is a humble young man who just loves to race, he has raced everything from a caged kart at millbridge , micro, midget and the list goes on. They better get a bigger merchandise trailer for when he shows up at a dirt track nearby next year. Congrats young man, you deserved it.
Stewart and Gordon both said he is the best they have ever seen. I agree. I also saw the Great ones of 50' 60' etc.
I could be wrong.....but I think every sprint car, DLM and Midget fan in the entire country woke up nervous yesterday morning and was pulling for #5.....Congratulations YUNG MONEY. You made us Dirt Fans proud!!!!!
He is the GOAT, period. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.
The best to come along in a very long time I think he could win in just about anything with 4 wheels and a motor
What I really like about him you can tell he really loves to go racing on pavement or dirt
Where ever he enters a race, the attendance has to increase, sometimes by a lot. I cannot prove that, but it certainly makes sense.
NASCAR Cup Championship
11 NASCAR Races
BC39
Chili Bowl
Kings Royal
Knoxville Nationals
Prairie Dirt Classic
Lucas Oil Speedweeks feature
He won all that and more THIS year.
He is a throwback to the early pioneers of racers who could win in anything they strapped into, the GOAT for sure. I look forward to seeing him racing many more years.
You know, the Kyle that took names and kicked ass at Fairbury against the best dirt late models have to offer as competition. THAT Kyle. Now do ya' remember? LOL!Quote:

I don't see him getting an F1 ride at all. Lots to that that I don't see happening. The idea here tho is to see how his lap times compare to current drivers of whichever car he may get a test in. He probably won't beat their times but I think if he gets anywhere close, that would be pretty amazing. If F1 were his goal (which I don't believe is or even possible at this point), I believe 100% he would be no less dominant than Hamilton and probably even more!Quote:
