Kenny Schrader used to all that stuff, still does somewhat.. You have to appreciate these kinds of racers it seems like they can just do it all. The Grove will be a bit more interesting now. Larson is going to need a couple of merchandise trailers for the weekend.

2021 so far...
Midget win
Late Model win
Nascar win
Sprintcar win
If it has wheels and Kyle is driving it, you have a good chance of winning that race!

An incredible talent, an incredible team - with incredible funds - likely more than Tony, a free country. But if Nolan Ryan came down to AAA for a rehab assignment it would be cool for a few months, but if he came down whenever he wanted, nobody would get a hit and it would get old. This is getting old.
Charlotte is to close to Central PA. There's a lot of local teams that could use at least some 1st place money.
I don't get the chance to travel the 200 miles to my beloved Central PA very often. When I do, I'm picking a weekly show of the AAA teams.

Larson is the only reason we went to the Grove last night! In order to be the best you have to beat the best.

Somewhat agree with this. Realy got spoiled last year watching him seemingly every night somewhere on the dirt. Now I'll opt for whatever he's running (LM at Tyler County over All Stars, etc) over anything else because he's that good. He could have won in the water truck last night.

Ok, I'll bite
Where does the "with incredible funds---likely more than Tony" theory come from? I didn't have to do any research to know this is very unlikely. But I researched it anyways. Tony's net worth around $90 according to most sources. He made a lot of money in the hayday of Indy and Nascar. Kyle's net worth is listed at around $12 million which sounds about right as his net worth was listed around $10 million at the start of 2020. And, as far as Nascar's salarys have fallen dramatically----in some cases as much as 5-10 times lower, and his severe lack of endorsements and big-dollar sponsors, Kyle would have to drive 20-30 more years to reach where Tony is right now-----if relying on Nascar salary to build wealth. And, that's assuming he's not blowing a bunch of that Nascar money on dirt racing. Nothing about your statement adds up at all. If Kyle and/or Paul Silva spent the kind of money you speak of, he would be spending all of the money he is making. Doesn't sound like a very good retirement savings plan to me.
You sound like the prototypical mother-in-law----give a couple of compliments, and then take your jab. "Incredible talent, and incredible team" and then the jab "with incredible funds." Silly. You're on a sprint car board with a bunch of seasoned sprint car fans. Most of us have watched him race since day one. If you still think the main reason this "kid" gets to victory lane more than anyone else is because of funds, you are a very poor judge of talent.
That is all

"if Nolan Ryan came down to AAA for a rehab assignment"????
In terms of dirt track, that race last nite was not "MInor League" in any way!
Any other NASCAR driver would have been mid pack at best

I think Lance would have had a chance if he didn't go to the bottom on Turn One, Lap 10.... couldn't figure out why he did that...
But what do I know? Lance obviously had his reasons

He will probably get his chance.I actually thought Chip G. would be his shot at Indy.With Silva,Brown and Werner in the AllStar pits last night you had the best in the business and its great to start from pole but Larson and Lance could have started aways back and made it more entertaining as there was more lapping than passing.He actually makes it look too easy as they are that good.The WOO are very good but the AllStars also have a good field of racers.

IF...
... I had $10,000
.... I knew who to talk to
....I was at WG.
....anyone would care.....
I would have made it a back row challenge for an extra $10,000 to the polar opposite aged duo.
Who would have like to see that effort?
Even though I may not know you, I
care what most of you think!

I'll morph this into a WG thread. Did Zearfross use his WoO car or his family, local car on Friday?

Sorry, the seasoned veterans are mostly gone from this board. They would let a guy talk out his a$$ once in a while without replying with insults.
I don't deny Larson's and Silva's talent one bit. He's a few Indy car and maybe sports car wins from being the best ever - and he's what?, 26? And Paul Silva has won in everything he touch win a wrench
Tony surely has more net worth but probably not much more" net worth " in a single car.
And, for the record, on a spring Sunday afternoon in 1985-ish, I watched a kid in a low, low budget 2D lead a bunch of laps before a big dog ran him down. I knew that day that the kid was going somewhere
But, am I a great judge of talent? Nope
Am I a seasoned veteran? yep, since 1983
Do I talk out my a$$ sometimes ? Yep
Did it bother me when Steve Kinser and Doug Wolfgang won more than their fair share of races? Nope
Does it bother me that Kyle Larson wins more than his fair share of races? Yep, can't explain that contrast - maybe it's cuz I'm getting old, I don't know
Do I "bite" and insult someone on this board? Nope - and never will
