I believe his sprint car crew chief is now the one making Larson look good in sprint car races. Also it seems like when a open wheel driver goes up to nascar and does not make it. For what ever reason. When they come back to open wheel cars they have a down period. Also he is not on team super midget full time.

Chop's first sentence answered my question.did not know of mechanic change.i knew something major had happened.

Rhody 8/21/17 11:24 AM

I don't think Kyle needs Paul to make him look good, but it doesn't hurt. Those 2 separately will make whoever they work with look good, put them together and it just doesn't seem fair.

Since kyle is done with sprint car program for year,will silva go back to rico.anyone have answers.or was there a falling out.

I agree with this.... happened to Tim McMreadie in Late Models as well. Just seems to take the wind out of their sales when they go up and don't make it.

I wish Rico was still in the NASCAR trucks.If he hasn't paid his dues then I don't know who has. If I owned any kind of NASCAR team I would sign him today! Larry Martz

Chris Baue 8/22/17 9:54 AM

He ls fast no doubt but doesn't seem to mind tearing up equipment and that can get old real quick.

grantman 8/22/17 10:50 AM

Rico is a wonderful human being and race car driver! His whole team is filled with great people! It is 100% family owned and operated because of his family's hard work! Rico is winning races this year and just as fast as always but other racers are fast as well. the outlaws , all stars are not gimmes ! You earn every inch! He is amongst the best and to be running with them is an accomplishment .. let's not forget how young this cat is as most of us take that for granted ... most outlaw drivers are older than you think and Rico is among the young guns still up and coming!

If anyone from Indycar was smart, they'd be trying to get him into rear-engine stuff...
