You should get ready to start eating, then. Because they don't really have a Driver of the Year category that covers what he's been able to accomplish in his amazing year. He's ran such a wide variety of racing genres that it will probably be tough for him to overtake racers who have also had amazing years in their individual racing categories, that they've concentrated on. The closest for him is the National Midget Driver of the Year race, where he sits behind Brad Kuhn and Bryan Clauson. And Darren Hagen's been fighting for the USAC midget points lead all year, too. But how do you say he's had a better non-wing sprint car year than Chris Windom? Or a better wing sprint car year than Meyers, The King or Schatz? Or a better Silver Crown year than Levi Jones or Jerry Coons, Jr? But, if they come up with a Best No Matter Whether It's Wing or Non-wing, Pavement or Dirt, Bullring or Mile, Silver Crown, Midget or Sprint, Even if You've Never Even Raced That Type of Racing or At That Track Before Driver of the Year, then it would be no contest.
At this point though, it wouldn't surprise me if Larson won the Kentucky Derby next spring.

Well, at least he's the right size to be a jockey . Actually, Windom, Kuhns , and Jones are good in each respective arena of competition, but Kyle is great in al lof them, not just good. With his looks, attitude , and ability that kid has more options for his future in racing then anyone I can think of.
