There may be a whiff of skepticism in post #2 as to Larson's ability to be competitive at Fairbury in a dirt late model. Not sure why that is. As was also mentioned above he did quite well at Fairbury on both occasions that he has raced there. The first time he had ever seen FALS he set a NTR that lasted for about 5 minutes and has the second fastest lap ever turned at Fairbury on the modern configuration of the track. He wound up running 2nd in 2018 on a rubbered up mess of a track and won at FALS in 2019. Despite the skepticism it's a safe bet that young Mr. Larson can be competitive on a tacky version of FALS driving a DLM.
I live in the belly of the DLM beast in Illinois and there is no shortage of discredit and animosity for an upstart interloper among the local fandom towards a dirt open wheel/NASCAR driver that has the talent to put a serious whoopin' on DLM butt!
