On his first night in the car 19 year old Kyle Larson wins the $15,000 first place money and admiration of the racing crowd. You can not help but like this young man from California, he says the right things and can make a race car do anything he wants it to do on a race track no matter what the conditions are.

It is not just my view but the view of the crowd in attendance this track needed more prep and a lot more water. From hot laps which is the opening video on this video till the end of the race when ten teams decided to replace the right rear tires and go to the back of the race rather than take a chance on the tires they were racing on a track taking rubber with tires smoking coming off the turns. With the wind coming from the Northwest and blowing right into the stands, every fan was covered with lots of dust. Not only was the race fans affected but the racing was a single file train for the finish.

With a slide job pass on Brady Bacon after a yellow flag restart Kyle Larson took no time to get the lead back and pulled away from the field. Bacon looked like his tire may have sealed over after leading and having the yellow flag come out and stop the race. When the race resumed Bacon looked helpless after Larson made the pass. Enjoy.

Congrats Kyle and HAR! and Mean Green!

Not bad for a washed up team
With Bad unreliable equiptment
A blind crew chief.
A Chassis that hasn't worked in five years and jumps around.

ECT....

What a way to come home from work. Thanks Cheeseworks!

Anyone know who's driving this weekend yet?

The beatings will continue..........................

Charles, they have hired a driver for this weekend. I'm sure they will put something on their website or on here about who it is.

Think about what this kid has done this year. He's won in a dirt midget, pavement midget, non-wing sprint car, and wing sprint car. He's also had quick times in a pavement sprint car and SC car (will still have chances to win there too). So out of the 7 different rides (dirt/pavement midget, sprint, SC and wing sprint), he has won in 4 of them. I know he is/was looking for a ride for the Nationals, I hope he finds one.

I first saw him race last year at the Oval Nationals in the Crossno #38. I thought then that he was pretty good for his age. I never thought he would be this good, this early.

He's the best TRUE outlaw out there right now. He'll be moving on soon so you better watch and enjoy while you can. Someone mentioned that Ganassi has signed him. I'm sure it's for Cup, but man it would be cool if it was for IndyCars.
