Pure speculation....
 
It occurred to me: Kyle quit racing wingless sprints cause his NASCAR team made him stop after serious wreck

Now that he's a "free agent" will he try some more USAC sprint events?

Hope so...:23:

He raced USAC midgets last week in Indiana Midget Week and won the championship so I don"t see why he wouldn"t show up for some of the bigger shows unless he"s running outlaw shows. :D

Kyle had said a year or 2 ago on Twitter that he hadn't really wanted to run anymore non-wing stuff; but was softening on the idea as they didn't look as sketchy (I think was the word he used) as they once had.

Speaking of speculation, is it true he and Kaitlyn ordered that motor home from NASA? Good laawd that thing was crazy! In a cool way of course.

I don't think Kyle will run much if any of ISW. He is not running for usac points and winged racing seems to pay better. I wonder if he will visit PA speedweek?

JarrettFarms73 6/23/20 6:13 PM

I’d be willing to bet he will. Can anyone confirm, wasn’t it Larson that had the “Takes on the Posse“ shirt?

Charles Nungester 6/23/20 7:11 PM

Re: Pure speculation....
 
I doubt he will. He's good enough to be beyond dirt track even if this is what he loves. Plus there's higher dollar wing racing between WoO, All Stars, PA, Knoxville/Jackson.

It would serve him well to have a T shirt trailer at every track. he'd do a half million a year on that alone.

oppweld 6/23/20 7:44 PM

If he runs anything I'd guess the Corn Belt Nationals at Knoxville!

Re: Pure speculation....
 
The night he crashed the sprint hard in turn one at the 4 Crown nationals, sorry can't recall exact year, I turned to my (Frolic) friends and said this is the last time we will see Larson in a non-wing sprint. Hope I'm wrong but it's true so far.

His t shirt trailer for midget week had a line literally every time I walked past it, and I had to walk past quite a bit to check on the pooch in the camper in between heats and such. He sold out quite a few shirts.

I can’t document this as to what podcast I heard him on and it’s been a couple years ago but he said he had no interest in running a non wing car. Obviously I hope that his stance has changed but I’m not holding my breath. There’s a reason some don’t want to run non wing. They’re the ultimate beast of a race car. Cheers to those that do!

Has Kyle ever run a Champ Car? Be cool to see him on a mile dirt track.

SpfldMile 6/24/20 9:42 AM

Yep, and he’s good in those too, of course.

kinser 6/24/20 12:14 PM

Kyle was offered a sprint car ride for Lawrenceburg last Saturday night and he turned it down.

Yep, he has. He ran all 3 mile dirt races in 2011.

Yung Muny actually won the Ted Horn Memorial 100 driving the IWX sponsored Keith Kunz owned #71 Silver Crown car. It was the second most thorough ass kicking I've ever seen a driver administer on a 1 mile dirt track in a Crown car. The late, great Bryan Clauson and Larson put on an epic show slugging it out for the lead in the first 30 miles of that race. BC faded later on in that race and Larson won it by more than a straight away.

Yep, Kyle has some unfinished business here in PA. I'll probably go to a few races. Speedweek can be a grind and after 30 or so years of them they have lost their luster a bit. I miss Silver Spring Speedway, Path Valley would be a welcome addition as would Trailway Speedway. Slot cars on big half miles can get old. Sorry for slipping off topic.

Yea, I like Path Valley too. Never been to the other tracks you mentioned... I've only been doing it 10yrs.

If he says its scary, I believe him
I'd be scared to drive a sprint car at full speed on an empty track, let alone with 23 other guys competing
Maybe if i built up speed gradually....:41::

How could it be any scarier than a midget? They were running lap times the same as the sprints were at Kokomo with less tire. Sunshine flipped with just a little bounce right in front of him. I would think the bigger tires would make it feel a little safer but I’m just a fat spectator. :D
