Ran 10th in his firt outing. Was 6th in his 2nd time out, and looking at ease while doing it!

Let the bashers begin.

BOOM!! BOOM!!!! BOOM!!!!

The beat goes on!!!!!!

We might have seen the last of him on dirt the way they're talking him up... unless of course he's got it in his veins.

Look at his race schedule for the year. He has already made 93 attempts to make a feature this year. A couple of those nights he pulled double duty (410 car and 360 car in the same night). He will probably have over 125 attempts for the year. I think that racing is in his blood.

After hustling a sprint car and midget over many nights this summer,jumping in a truck,,would be like driving a Cadillac out on an open freeway. At Knoxville a few weeks ago,at the pit shack signing in,Kyle peddled up on a sting ray bicycle,with a back pack,and pulling a carry on,suitcase behind the bike. He looked like a kid getting to grade school for the first day of school. A very nice young getleman He is. I am sure the offers are flying,at him,over and above what He already has on his race schedule for this season.

I bet Chip Ganassi is happy Kyle is doing so well in Truck and K&N East. His 2 cup drivers are not cutting it.

I aim to hit the target.

To be successful in ANY form of racing you MUST become a master of SOPM...spending other people's money. Hendrick, Roush and Penske are certainly three I would study if I were interested in pursuing ownership of a race team.

Kyle Larson, a 2012 Prelim winner at both the Chili Bowl and Knoxville Nationals, finishes 6th in only his 2nd truck start. Hell, he already has as many top 10's in camping world trucks as Danica has in nationwide this year.

I don't know this "kid" but I have been in the pits for a few years watching him progress. In fact, the first time I saw him I thought he had bought a driver's uniform to look like his favorite driver! He is a very nice young man with talent still "uncovered" in my two-cent opinion. Why people attempt to demean him or make light of his accomplishments at such a young age is beyond me. I wish I were his age with the promising race future he is so fortunate to have.

Yeah, until she loses her looks.

We need more sprint car racing at our home track.

About this time last year at Eldora. the 4 Crowns race.(modfieds now being run on Friday night)

The Silver Crown race,a good sized rut between 1 and 2,ALL cars were bobbing and jackin the front end out when trying to get through/around this.Standing there the entire race I never heard Kyle crack the throttle one time.Drove over it like it wasnt there! He won all three classes that night Midgets , Sliver Crown and Sprint cars.

If he would have started on the pole each one (which He did not) of them it still would have been quite a deal to win all three classes! I figure there were 69 others that night that COULD have knocked Kyle out of the three wins.It didnt happen though.

It impressed Tony Stewart enough he came down and gave Kyle an extra 10G for doing so. Enough said.
