The kid got lucky, and sure as hell hasn't had to drive for an underfunded team, or had to work with mechanics/set up guys that have never 'been there and done that' before.
If he wins 2 Champ Dirt Car titles, has more 4 Crown victories than anyone else, runs the Indy 500, and ends up high on the USAC victories list....then he might be as good as Jack Hewitt, and not until.

What???? Kyle Larson was the best driver on the track last night. He had some luck in the sprint race but just flat smoked em in the midget and silver crown. He did not make one mistake in the silver crown and had to survive restart after restart. You telling me his equipment was better than Jones and Clauson's in the SC? I read on this board all summer how the Hoffman's have lost it and they just aren't good anymore. Bottom line, the best talent always ends up in the best rides. His accomplishment takes nothing away from Jack Hewitt. He may never accomplish what Jack did but I hope I get to enjoy watching him run for many years, too bad it won't likely be on dirt.
