The guy gets a break in the heat then draws #1 in the Fast Pass dash, and wins from the pole..Very good and solid crew..Says he flew commercial, but more than likely a Hendrick plane..Got to do same tomorrow for the big bucks then Sunday to make the next series in Playoffs..I don't really like to see him run away in the sprinter but I'd like to see him win the NASCAR title..

There are several pictures out there of him flying commercial. One that stands out is of him flying commercial the day after winning his King's Royal, crown in hand. It didn't look to me like he was in First Class either. I have seen one taken if him on an airport shuttle the day after winning the $ million NASCRAP All Star race on his way to run Ohio All Stars Speedweek. He does fly commercial.

How he flew there is relevant, how?  

What a race, huh ?  A few guys made big moves thru the field but mostly it was a hammer down ride the cushion show. Someone probably liked that , can't say I did.

Was there and loved it.  Hammer down is better than ice skating around any day!

Wow, that was a great night of racing.  

Kyle did get a little help in the heat but that is racing.  7th to 2 in the heat.  Sometimes you make your own luck.  

Track was perfect all night long!  Rahmer 26th to 7, DD 21 to 8th.  Sorry to disappoint you!!  I would rather have that the follow me leader around the bottom.  If they don't do much to the track today it will be follow the leader around the bottom before the feature starts tonight!!

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

Was there too last night, all in all it was a great race! Sure, Kyle won, and he isnt my favorite but has done alot for sprint car racing! What's irritating is him winning all the time on dirt,  to a "typical" Crapcar fan they probably think racing a 900+HP sprint car is easy!? But, the track was fast last night,  hopefully a good race again tonight! Rahmer pasted alot of guys in the A Main, along with a few others.

The Crowd Pleaser IS THE BEST ever!

Every single race (9 of them) won from the front row and top 5 started top 5, FACTS.  Do your research.  YAWWWWNNNNNN

Larson earned that win.  Better than the slip and slide!!!!!

It's directly proportional to how badly he wants to race a sprint car. 

6 of the 9 races 1st and 2nd started 1st and 2nd

2 races 1st and 2nd started 1st and 3rd

1 race 1st and 2nd started 2nd and 7th and if Dietrich don't break in the heat, 1st and 2nd woulda started 1st and 2nd.

That is not better than any sprint car race I've enjoyed and it's worse than most every E-Mod race I've painfully watched, but you like speedboats and drag racing, so it makes sense you got wood from that "race"

Why can't people be happy to watch such a talent race?  I mean he races a dozen races in a sprint a year and wins ten of em.  Against guys who have raced fourty fifty times a year and have done it for twenty or thirty years.   Of those, How many win in Nascar, IMSA, Late Models Midgets and champ cars?

Sure all good rides but he's not racing against crap so you can't call it Cherry Picking.

Yesterday you said heat races mean nothing, now you are getting all foamy over Larson's run in his heat race to get him in position for the dash. Maybe the heats don't pay any money but they can help determine a racers night thats why its nice to have them be able to pass. I know you are not a racer but I think the real racers have a different view of heat races than you do. You are a one way hypocrite.

Larson earned those starting spots. Good qualifying time, top two in heats to get to the dash, and a "lucky" dash draw.  Hey the 69K fans use this excuse all the time, so why can't Larson?

Not all foamy.  Just saying what happened in the heat race to put him upfront in the feature. Kyle had a terrible time trail and that normally spells diaster, but not last night.  Kyle ran good after the time trials the rest of the night.  That feature was awesome!  I hope the track is prepared the same way it was last night......if not we will see a follow me leader feature tonight.

You think they would rather have the track at its best during the heats instead of the feature?  Now that is messed up thinking!

Agreed.   In the interview he made the point that the last time he raced in sprint car was Knoxville and he basically said he had to become comfortable again with the speed.   Which says a lot given he has been running Cup on small and big tracks.  Relative speed is a real thing.  Going 135 on a 1/3 or half mile in sprint car is definitely different than 180 mph on 2 / 2+ mile track.    

PERFECT????

Obviously all you care about is pure speed. Most of us like to watch passing & competition

I'm sure you'd love Bonneville Salt Flats... I'd like to go some day too

Buts it DRY

That is the format.  Not the racing surface!  Fact!

Agreed!!

1000% correct!
