Thursday at Port Royal

[BirkyTime15B]

Hard racing. I’ll bet that’s why Jimmy didn’t say much. They’ll have to get used to seeing Kyle Larson in a late model if he’s having fun. He noted that they pay better than sprints.

Hopefully the weather will cooperate the rest of the weekend

[Rajflyboy]

30 lap race. Let’s do a 100 lap race with Larson in the car.

[Rajflyboy]

Larson finished 5th. Now now don’t get those panties all wadded up. Nothing too special YET.

[EvelB7]

Larson finished 5th but he was definitely the show. Guy has 6 laps at Cherokee, maybe another 80 at Friendship- goes to first race against the best in the business wins heat, drives from 6th to 3rd on the outside of the toughest driver this year.... Hits the wall coming off four at the checkered, I can't wait to see 'special'....

[Drop Shock]

You’re the one that’s special there flyboy. Always on here putting you’re foot in your mouth. The guy was running 3rd in a Lucas race his first time in a late model, do yiu understand how hard that is to do? Obviously not, but this ain’t some local or regional show these are professionals and he made most of them look like amateurs. If you don’t think what you saw last night was special, then you’re just a tard

Larson went toe to toe with a grizzled veteran who is said to be the best late model driver in the world today. Larson was not the least intimidated. I think the question as to whether Larson can run with the late model badasses in his FIRST start is answered.Owens didn't seem to want to talk about Larson in the podium interview. Maybe he didn't want to talk about being run very hard by a guy that first sat in a late model about a week ago. I think everyone can agree that Larson was the show tonight.

The real question is how are those carpal tunnel hands gonna hold up beating off for 3 straight broadcasts? Although your boy did impress this field mouse.

I've seen Larson in person 5 times this year. 1 in midget & 4 in outlaws. In those races, worst finish of 2nd in the midget at Kokomo & Friday night at Knoxville. 3 wins.

When I watch him do some of the things he is doing, I wonder if this is what it felt like to watch AJ Foyt or Mario Andretti back in the 50's & 60's when they were still running a fair amount of dirt. He is doing things that are on a whole other level.

Very insightful post, that one will make you think a little......nice.

Larson needs to goto the world finals and race all 3 classes, someone give him a BB mod ride plz.

So which driver was the fourth tighter?

[BTExpress]

Well worth getting home at 238AM on a work night. I love Port Royal and try to make 4 or 5 races a year. I won't lie, I went specifically to see Larson make his DLM debut, as did many other fans. For the first time taking competitive laps, he more than held his own against a "whose who" of drivers. A podium finish would have been icing on the cake. The atmosphere for a Thursday night was fantastic with a very good sized crowd. Overall Port Royal, the LOLMS and Larson did not disappoint. Hopefully the weather cooperates for the next two nights.

Larson won a 100 lap/100 mile race on a dirt track less than a week ago. His ability, talent, skill level is without question. Try another angle.

On one hand it's kinda' cool that everything I post triggers you into obsession. On the other hand your references and apparent constant infatuation with adolescent male sexual gratification fantasy's is just a bit creepy. Are you on a pedophile registry somewhere?

Isn't it "loser"?

Larson didn't just put on a show. He was the show. Owens, who is touted to be the hottest dirt late model driver in the world, sure couldn't keep a guy that hadn't set in the seat of a DLM until less than a week ago behind him. Larson trying a bit too hard to run 2nd is all that allowed Owen's to slip by on the last lap. The upstart Larson embarrassed Owens most of the A-main and it was apparent by the omission of any mention of Larson in the podium interview that Owens was just a bit resentful because of it. It was just a bit surprising that through Owens frustration he didn't rough Larson up a bit while he was showing Owens up.
