Absolutely incredible! I'm not a "good guy/ bad guy" kinda fan, respect them all, but Larson is just fun to watch. I was at the point of rooting for someone else to win, but starting 14th, how could you not root for him to go all the way? Kinda like Schatz winning from 21st or whatever at Knoxville Nationals..

Not everyone will agree.When you buy a ticket that entitles you to cheer ,boo, or whatever.When you go to the pits later that doesnt allow you a freindship with the driver or give you any type of right to be an ass. If you buy a t-shirt thats great and most drivers love their fans but many have a job to do and not always want to put on a happy face.

That exactly what I've been telling people on some other threads

I just like watching 'em race, don't expect them to be my buddy

I agree. I see a HAAS Automation banner on his next NASCAR ride.  I believe the Two owners of those Nascar teams have the balls to even make a move in the direction of Kyle. For my own selfish reasons I would love to keep him Racing on the Clay.. 

We need more sprint car racing at our home track.

From 15th to the WIN. Just keep counting. Hey Kyle That will do.

We need more sprint car racing at our home track.

Now....8 wins in a row with three different sanctions. Hum........

  From central coast of Cali.
   Peace, Out.

Amazing, in a class of his own

No way I thought he was gonna win rom 15th, until he got to 3rd... then it was like "holy %$#, he's gonna do it. again"..

WOW.  Incredible.  And against really tough fields. The streak will inevitably end, but he's gonna win 80% of the races he enters this year. If it stops there. Yes Larson is the best we've ever seen as far as open wheel dirt goes. But let's not forget about Silva. It's unfair that those two are working together.  Good luck to all the other race teams the rest of the year. 

Showing his talent and having fun doing it.Who needs $8M to be happy.Professional atheletes are overpaid along with poliicians and CEOs.I have no doubt he will be back in boring Nascar just because of the money He can make.One word to me is minor compared to all the other things that are happening. Go Kyle could be one of the greatest dirt track drivers of our time!Dont know what he gest paid but I would bet Jeff Gordon doing broadcasting is making more than several of the Nascar drivers that are lucky to finish in the top 20.

I look at it this way. We all want him in Sprints and we all know he wants to be in sprints. But you don't turn down Nascar money.  It's only for another 10 years tops and then he'll be full time WoO. And under 40. And we as Sprint Car fans still get to benefit from it while hes in Cup stacking up money. I want him back in Nascar because he's one of the best drivers in the world and deserves to get paid like it. 

a logical place to start would be a mirror....   and that should happen after you remember this was about sprint car racing

Still can't handle the truth......

Let's go Sprint Car Racing!

Knoxville - Best Track In the USA!
Eldora - 2nd Best Track in the USA!

I for one hopes Kyle goes back to nASCAR, if he gets a top ranked team he will get paid big money. Lets say he stays for 10 years and retires from nASCAR, that gives him the money to put back into dirt racing for the next generation or two of racers. That will help keep the sport alive for many years to come.

Granted, I'll be 75 in ten years and I would rather see Kyle on dirt for those ten years, but I really want my grandkids and great grandkids see dirt racing like I and my kids did. And for that we need people with MONEY to invest in future racers. So Kyle go make all you can so this great sport can go on for many years to come well after I'm long gone.

p.s. Kyle, please make it nine(9) in a row tonight.

No way he'll come close to 80%. At the moment he's 7 of 18 in winged sprints, granted the last 10 races he has 6 wins and 3 2nds (including 5 wins in a row) but if he gets close to 50% it'll be an all time year.

And you might be totally full of it. You might look at the post that I responded to. I looked back at some of your posts and figured you are another one with whom it is ok when it leans your way and not if it doesn't.

anything other than look in the mirror, right ?  It was the message, not the messenger

OMG, he's human after all. Only got second tonight LOL

Rod

4 wins and two seconds, not to bad. Didn't even have to run the Sunday A main to win speed week(but he did, ran second).

Rod

Had to come back to this one buddy. I'll have to check his stats but I bet it's close to 80%.  Either way we're both right. This is unprecedented. I know Kinser, Wolfie etc had some impressive streaks, but not against this level of competition. And I actually hope he goes back to Cup racing because he deserves to be paid like one of the best drivers in the world. He'll be back in 10 years anyway. 

Exactly why some of us beg to differ at any suggestion that he won't accept an offer to return to NASCAR.  

I love dirt track racing as much as anybody on this forum but not so much that I'd turn down a reported eight million in earnings.  A person could do a lot more Sprint Car racing on $8 million as opposed to $250k.  Actually when I look at drivers earnings lists I made as much as some of the lower tiered travelers while I was working and used to marvel at how hard they had to work for it compared to my air conditioned office job.  Granted I wasn't popular enough to sell merch at the bus stop but I matched some of the driver eanings so most of them aren't getting rich driving Sprint Cars with the majority being part time racers once we get a few rungs down the ladder.
