correct me if i'm wrong, wasn't kyle supposed to be racing in aussie. did not see his name in the results for any of the 3 grand annual races, or could he just have had a terrible run & not made any of those mains? anyone know more?

I know he crashed/flipped on the final night. And I think get also did the night prior unfortunately. I'm sure a few haters who think he is "overrated" after winning one of the biggest races the week prior or after all of his previous accomplishments. Apparently some will probably think that if do not win everything you enter in then your talent level goes down.

He crashed and flipped the first night, sat out the second night and DNQ the final night.....Not a great trip for him after having a tremdous few months running midgets since the end of the NASCAR season.

I think they got rained out after the heats two nights in a row also prior to the final events

I dont know if its a trustworthy site but i found results from all 3 nights. Larson was participating 1st night and 3rd night from what i read.  But it also looked like Shane Stewart sat out the 2nd night. But it looked like all 3 A mains were conpleted. I could be wrong.

Even though I may not know you, I 
care what most of you think!

Larson had a rough weekend for sure.  On the flip side Aussies JMAC, K.Madsen were stout amongst others.  On the U.S. side Macedo and Larson were not really factors.  Eliason, Tim Schaffer, Buddy Koifoid were impressive for sure.  TK had a great prelim run as well as others.  Great format, great racing each night, really enjoyed the coverage.

appreciate all the info. i would safely say i'm as far opposite a hater as possible, all my friends tell me i'm TOO biased when it comes to yung money, so naturally i'm shocked when his name doesn't appear in the 24 spots of an a main, let alone 3 of them. i do believe the mo' he has built from the success he's had running his own midget-3 ca. wins in a row + c.b. nats-will roll into his cup season, he's just becoming a smarter driver in that series. i've said it many times, my all-time list 1larson 2shaffer 3tk it's great to see those guys as well as buddy having a good showing down under, although the aussies appear to have home field advantage

Hi, just thought I'd explain "classic week" for a few of you guys that seem to be confused about the process.

The week is ran at three tracks over 5 nights; Avalon, Mt. Gambier, Warrnambool.

Avalon and Mt Gambier are stand alone, unrelated events and were both rained out after a round of heats I believe.

Warrnambool (home of Grand Annual Sprintcar Classic) has around 100 entries, with the field split in half Friday and Saturday nights. Approx. 50 cars show up each night for time trials, two heats and their mains.

The top 60 or 80 or so come back for the Sunday night and run another round of heats which decided the grids for the mains.

Kyle ran the first night and was involved in a crash in a heat, left him in the b main which he was leading and blew a motor I believe.

He wasn't scheduled to run the second night.

He came back for final night and got caught up in a crash again and flipped over for a second time. Pretty sure he was meant to start in the e-main but packed the car up instead. 

I guess it's official, Kyle Larson missing an Australia race with forever hinder his abilities to be a race car driver and taint his career accolades for the rest of his life.

And for you idiots that don't understand, this is 100% sarcasm.

Agree, he sucks. He should take his car off of the outlaw tour as well...

Thank you for making me smile. Guess winning the Chili bowl might boost his abilities.

We need more sprint car racing at our home track.

 His "flip" on the second night was a nasty series of barrel rolls that left him with big-time red-eye, especially his left eye that still looked like hell at the Chili Bowl. I was kinda proud of the commentators for not asking him if it bothered him when he raced, as he'd won three in a row on his way there. Kyle's contract with Ganassi allows him to run open-wheel stuff, and it has from the first time he signed with him. I'm not sure who made the choice to pack it up, but it was probably Kyle, and it was a good one.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KiXNTZbonQ

Half the lies they tell about me aren't true.
