In honor of Kyle Larson making his return to USAC Silver Crown racing on a 1 mild dirt track at the Hoosier on Sunday I thought I'd refresh some of ya'll as to the stones Yung Money put on display on a mile during his short tenure as a Silver Crown hot shoe. Although this clip was recorded at Springfield back in August of 2011 it's a small bit of evidence as to why Larson was/is one of the most exciting drivers on dirt, ever.
The specific footage I speak of regarding Larson is from qualifications for the 50th running of the Bettenhausen Memorial 100. I was at Springfield that day and even then it was pretty special watching Larson run what appeared to be a no lift lap while qualifying.
A shout out to Tracy Hines is necessary, as well. Tracy had fast time that day and this video clearly depicts why. He's every bit as impressive as Larson!
Silver Crown Championship Dirt Cars properly driven on a one mile dirt track are classic poetry in motion. Using that analogy, Jack Hewitt is one of the greatest poets of all time.
