Larson is one of the best to feel traction. Meaning getting the best forward bite possible without wasting power. You over spin and your just going slower. He's always been able to find the best forward bite the fastest and if that goes away, the best to find second best area on the track.
Patience. He didn't beat his car to death at the Hangtown second night and was there for the end
He also is there now to win and have fun. He will still knock the walls down to win if he has too. But after dozens of wins and championship in Nascar, It's not now his first choice. Really think his Nascar chief calmed him down
He's also got one of the best dirt crew chiefs there is..
After all that, He wins a lot, But he's just a family guy. Humble. Not full of himself.
Glad I have gotten to witness a lot of his career.
"Larson is one of the best to feel traction. Meaning getting the best forward bite possible without wasting power"..... that makes sense. Sometimes he just seems to shoot ahead of everyone else, meaning he's either found the traction or has a hidden nitrous tank...
