I wrote earlier that Kyle Larson is a treat to watch race on dirt. His skill on this discipline on racing is bar none as good as there is out there right now.

You know that feeling, the one that you have when you’re watching one of the greats compete at a high level at their sport. The greatness of watching Michael Jordan glide through the air at impeccable ease, or Kobe Bryant making moves none of us can even dream of doing with a basketball, just to get enough separation to hit a jump shot over a falling defender. What about Peyton Manning skillfully dropping a perfect pass into a receivers hands where no space is given? Tiger Woods draining a long putt. I can go on.

It’s fun to watch.

That’s the feeling I get when I’m watching Larson race on dirt. The guy is just damn good. The maneuvers he makes on a dirt track look so effortless but you know it takes so much skill to pull it off.

On Tuesday night, he only shattered a 35 year old track record at Paragon in his first time racing on the 3/8-mile dirt track. Then, he started sixth in both his heat race as well as the feature and won both events.

Wednesday, he one upped himself.

Larson, didn’t come out of his heat race. He finished fifth and only four advanced to the feature. He had to run in the semi-feature to qualify his way into the main event.

He did just that. But, he had to start 14th though. Despite that, he still found his way to the front and won the second night of Indiana Midget Week at Gas City Speedway.

It was his seventh career IMW victory, giving him two less than the record set by Bryan Clauson (9). It was also his 21st career USAC National Midget Series win as well.

The California native, won Tuesday night’s opening race of the 16th annual event at Paragon Speedway with a text book pass of race leader Tanner Thorson with four laps left to score his eighth straight USAC National Midget Series victory when he’s been on US soil. Tonight, he passed points leader and defending Midget Series champion Tyler Courtney on Lap 18 and never looked back en route to his ninth straight win.

The streak dates back to the 2019 season in California, his homestate by the way, when he won at Placerville, Bakersfiled and Ventura. He then swept both nights of racing at the Gateway Dirt Nationals to close out the year in December.

In January, he scored a prelim night win in Tulsa then the Chili Bowl Midget Nationals later. Overall, he’s won seven straight races over the last 14 days if you count World of Outlaws and All Star into the mix too.

Larson, is just phenomenal. By Lap 11 of Wednesday nights race, he already improved 11 spots to third. On Lap 15, he was second. Three laps later, he found the lead.

Buddy Kofoid finished second while Courtney settled for third. Thorson backed his runner-up on Tuesday with a fourth place run at Gas City.

Gio Scelzi rounded out the top five. Ricky Stenhouse Jr started fifth but finished 13th. He was third a night earlier in Paragon.

The event rolls on for a doubleheader the next two nights in Putnamville.
