Having 18 year-old Kyle Larsen as the GSC champion is an amazing achievement. Congratulations to him and crew!

I guess this is where we disagree. It's a nice accomplishment because the kid is 18, but really all he did was beat out four other drivers who also made all the GSC point races. BK he has been down all year by typical BK standards, Suggs, Geving, he's better and should have beaten those two. When you look at which drivers made all the GSC races it was the top 4 drivers in the point standings and maybe one or two others. So is it really an amazing accomplishment or is he just better then the five or six drivers who showed up every week, and if J. Allard doesn't leave are we even having this discussion?

As an FYI only, Larsen did not make the preliminary main on night #2 at the STN. Neither did Shane Stewart or Randy Hannigan. Not sure if anything happened to any of the driver as i missed their qualifying races last night. TK finished 10th in the main event. Check the main board for video highlight from last night.

Do you not understand the part where he is an 18 year old kid? You sound like an immature kid yourself with your persistence that someone put together some head to head stats between the two or how about the time when you took a certain publicist to task for a press release. Do your own homework. In the end it wont matter because Larson will be getting rides at events like the Short Track Nationals, the Chili Bowl, the Knoxville Non Wing Nationals and Tommy Tarlton will be putting on one hell of a show at Ocean Speedway.
What has impressed me most is that he's earning it with his performance on the track. From what I can tell his family is not from money and he's not the son of a former race car champion. He's just a breath of fresh air that I hope will still be racing out here a couple more years before a bigger stage steals him away. He'll continue to mature and handle his podium speeches a little better then he did at Tulare. Someday he may even get away with moving a lapper out of the way like Jac did at the Gold Cup.

Given the major part of the discussion of this thread, is it coincedence who the "lapper" was that Jac moved out of the way at GC or a Glen Beck conspirancy... lol
Man, this same discussion comes along every few years. Heard the same story in years gone by with names such as Kaeding, Sills, Green, Kent, Day, et. al.
Fun stuff.
