It's like we've all seen, being at a track for the first time means absolutely nothing to that guy.

He sure can drive but between bush and harvick having 9 wins between the 2one of them at Bristol in the nationwide series and for him to be running up there with those guys in just his 4th race truly shows how good of a driver he is and how quickly he can adapt

Re: Kyle Larson
 

A friend and I were talking immediately following the Bristol Nationwide race. We came to the consensus that Kyle Larson is good enough to run up front with the stalwarts of the division like Harvick and Busch after only 4 races in NW.

That having been said, we both seriously doubt that either one of those guys mentioned above would contend for a win in a wingless/winged sprinter or a midget or even a Silver Crown car after only 4 starts.

Maybe we're wrong but I doubt it.

That avatar looks a lot like a KKR car. Is that a Pinewood Derby car?

Rico is my 9 year old boy's favorite driver, so we made his pinewood derby car similar. Sadly, it wasn't very fast. Next year.

First race there in a Nationwide car. I think he ran a K&N mod there last year.

A Certain 9 time USAC winning Car owner and HOFer said to me personally. The kid feels speed and has a natural instinct on where he needs to be and how to get there that I've not seen in many long time veterans.

Kyle is no surprise to me in what he's doing as I've seen the AMAZING of the past few seasons.

Maybe Ganassi should take another look at the driver he passed over for Juan Pablo who IMHO is at a even higher game now.

There is the problem he is with Ganassi Racing.

I wonder what his contract is with Ganassi. For his talent level, it seems that he should be aligned with another group other than Ganassi.

As we all know, their record for driver development is not stellar, and i do not remember the last time they had a chase participant. (if ever???)

True, but key is just get a seat to start with. Look at Kahne, he’s in one of the best seats now.

It just seems like their sprint cup cars are just not that competetive lately.


You are right it is about seat time right now but, at this rate he may not need as much as others have needed.
