Not a Late Model guy but if he would have the the same amount of A main wins in Lucas Oil Late Models and is based on winning every Amain from July 18 to September 1 he would have pocketed almost 400,000 in winnings . That’s a no brainer. Most Lucas Oil Late Model wins pay 15 to 40 to 50,000.00 to win. Look up there payout. I don’t understand why Sprintcars can’t pay this to win.

Simple reason why Sprint Cars dont pay that much to win....

Youll get the same cars for $1,400 to win on a Saturday night somewhere in Indiana as you do for $10,000

In Late Models, the top guys wont unload for anything less than 7K to win most times.

Nathan,

Based on your post, you must be in the know on Larson's test session. Dirt on Dirt said the test session got rained out before they got any laps in. Did Larson even get in the car?

They were getting ready to get on the track, then it came a monsoon. Decided against practicing on a heavy and tacky track at Cherokee Speedway

Grocery Guy - What Chris said above. From what I've heard. He was in the car getting ready to test at Cherokee Speedway in Gaffney, South Carolina when the rain let loose.

I think given some test time and seat time he'll do just fine. I think it will take some getting used to but I think he will do good once he is given time to understand the characteristics of how the car handles with different set-ups and track conditions. Kyle has already show he has the talent now he just needs to put it all together in a Super Late Model. When they are finally able to test I hope there is some video of it for all of us to see.

Sure hate to see Larson getting out of a racecar....

I mean, anything with dead weight like a battery and starter can't possibly be a racing machine right?

Thanks Chris and Nathan.

Appreciate the updates. You could see a little sunlight in those photos, that's why I was asking. Stinkin rain. Would have been awesome to see some videos of his test session. When you have the Rumley family helping you, you have the best.

I'm with you guys....sure hope we get to see Kyle in a late model. With some practice and understanding, he will gather more knowledge. Looking forward to it.

Would love to see him do double duty at the Gateway Dirt Nationals Dome race in St. Louis.
