I don't understand anybody that doesn't like Kyle Larson. We are witnessing one of the greatest driving talents of all time and we all will be lucky to have seen him race. How many people can you name that can race in NASCAR, Sprint Cars/Midgets, and now and Indycar and be fast immediately?

@@trumpet43samurai Its a different discipline, crossovers are pretty difficult in this day and age. Yes, JPM didn't win on any ovals, but he did podium on some of the tougher tracks, like Dover, Richmond, Martinsville, and finished second his first year at the brickyard. JPM only had 7 stockcar starts before running full time in Cup, and he was still pretty competitive and even won at Sonoma his first year. I really can't see any NASCAR driver pulling that off, without years of running jr formula cars full time.

I’m an old Sprint car mechanic and everyone knows Larson is a freak of nature that only comes along once in a lifetime! He reminds me of a young Mario Andretti!

@richard1472 14 күн бұрын

Well, let's hope he doesn't get snake bit like Mario did. However, I think Larson is shaping his own mold, as it were. I wonder if Indycar will try to lure him away from Nascar. Should be fun to watch.

I remember watching a very young Kyle Larson race in Outlaw Karts in California back in 99 and 00's the Young Man can drive even back then he showed considerable talent, Amazing what success this young man has achieved once he got the right equipment and personnel behind him he has become a force to be reckoned with.

Larson is a Unique talent whichever way he goes, kind of old school like Foyt, Gurney, and Mario Andretti, I'm 72 and been a racing fan since the late 50s at the Grove in Cottage Grove Oregon. There's a lot of excellent divers out there but every once in a while along comes a driver that seems to set the standard noticeably higher. Like him or not the MAN can flat out drive a race car at a level most racers can only Fantasize about...😎

With a little luck on his side along with the skill he has shown the new kid in town has a chance of an historic win. You have to agree that would be awesome. I can only imagine what the seasoned drivers must be thinking right about now.
