Watched it on Dirt Vision but nice when the race track track is a little rugh and racers all say it was fun.Kyle showed He can win from a few rows back and probably one of the most exciting races of the year. The 360 Nationals had an exciting finish and Rico made it a show to get up to third after adversity in his qualifing night proving it can be done just hard to beat the top two qualifiers otherwse but last lap finish made the race.

Yes, I watched the 360 Nationals and then flipped to the Iron Man. Both were great features!

That Kyle Larson is just too good. They should make him start 5th or something, make him earn the win. 
If you didn't watch this race, go look at the highlights on Youtube. By my count, Sweet lead once, McFadden led twice, Schuchart lead 7 times, and Larson lead 7 times. The battles for 3rd / 4th / 5th were probably more heated than the one for the lead.
Corey Day came from 15th to 4th.
Other than that, the race was pretty uneventful, but someone will still find fault with it.

This Corey Day is a racer, it will not surprise me at all if he parks it in victory lane next Saturday night.

You don't think he earned THAT win???????
Oh wait.... on 2nd reading, I guess you're being sarcastic. Hard to tell on the internet with no tone of voice or facial expression...

Terrific race!
Makes me wonder what makes Larson so damn good????
Which probably deserves a separate discussion of its own,....

When you look back at all Larson has done and won over the past few years, the fact that he is in Michigan for NASCAR flies to Pevely and wins an outlaw race in classic duel like that, then back to Michigan for Sunday... we are getting to witness something pretty special
Not to mention, he'll be in the 500 next year

I'm waiting for someone to start a thread saying Knoxville could have gotten the race in last night if they had tried.

I hope you get that I was kidding. Every year, Mother Nature wins a few races.

How did Kraig Kinser look in his new ride? I like to think he has more HP under the hood than he had in his own car. Hoping he show's strong at Knoxville.

He lost a right front wheel during qualifying and flipped during qualifying on Friday. A friend said he thought the tire man was out on I-55 hitchhiking to get away shortly after that. On Saturday he started 14th and finished 13th. Only Corey Day (15th to 4th) and Gio Scelzi started behind him and finished in front of him.
