I don't know but I do know you can't win them all & I also know that as much as I like the King, Kyle will fare much better in NASCAR.

He never started the B. Kyle's Twitter: KyleLarsonRacin Guy parked it in front of me and I had to turn it sideways to miss him and backed it into the wall. Pullin down the spare chassis.

But wait I thought he was suppose to smoke em all and never tears up cars.
I don't aim to please.
I aim to hit the target.

He went into turn one way too hot and lost the handle, plain and simple, and from my perspective he actually made a mistake while running 7th in his heat and trying desperately to get to sixth and qualified for the A Main. Never saw the "parked car" he was referring to on tweeter or twitter or whatever. All I saw was him all by himself losing the handle and spinning out backwards. welcome to PA Kyle, better luck and results are to follow for sure. Disappointed that all I got to see of him were a few TT laps and 3 or 4 heat race laps. Better laps and races are ahead!

Looked like the 69 was low in front of him, Ott was right on the outside too, just got in a bad spot. I know he's good, one night isn't much. Still think Lincoln is harder for the outsiders to run now than the Grove, takes the big engine out...still takes a lot of money to run down those straights there.

Starting to agree with this, The first 7 rows tonight (outside of Layton) were Lincoln regulars. Congrats to Brian, he's been on a roll as of late. Would love to see him take the Speedweek title.
Tonight meant nothing to me, Kyle has nothing left to prove. If anything he comes out faster tomorrow.

Lap 3 of 10, KL was racing hard for the final transfer, OTT 77 had the outside down the front straight and KL was almost side by side entering 1, carrying too much momentum for the low groove, he ran up on the 69 of Gladfelter WH was setting the car for the bottom rail...KL backed it into the wall and the 5 car was collected and came to rest on KLs left front. Huge scrape on the wall...on the hook and pit side. He ever returned to the track..but from the stands it looked like they were still working on the car as the B went green.
He wasn't the only one who had qualifying heartburn... Hodnett looked like he had no traction...Lance looked like he had a 360 as several prominent local cars were buried in the field.
Montieth put on an exhibition...picked up his second win of the weekend.
Larson would benefit from watching video of how the 3w wrecked twice Friday and avoid entering turs with full momentum when conditions do not support it...if he expects to make it out the other side.
Tomorrow is another day...and another track.
Lincoln 1845 ft/.35 mile T1=118MPH

Port 2716 ft/.51 mile T3=TBD

Selinsgrove 2847 ft/.54 mile T1=136MPH

I have to agree, kyle may be a good driver everywhere else except Central PA!! From what I saw in time trials, heat race, he would have been a top 20 car tonight!!! Just way to much competition in Central Pa for him to be a factor!!! I do feel if he would spend more time hear, he might do better!!!

I can't think of anyone that has done well in their first visit to Lincoln or Williams Grove. I think he'll be fine at the other tracks.

Back in the day, late 70s or early 80s an unknown popped into Wms Grove and rode high and fast against the wall, but eventually crashed out of the feature. Rocky Hodges caught the attention of many fans that night...............

If I'm not mistaken I think Kasey Kahne won in his 1st visit to Williams grove . Yea he started on the pole that day and it was a sunday afternoon race . It was in the early or mid 90's.

Kahne did not win the first time he was at the Grove. He raced at the track a couple times in 1999 before winning the opener in 2000.

Well with all the post hear about "Kyle the Ledgen" the last few day, the jackholes are you!!!!! everyone thinks he is wonderful. The kid has skills. is he a Ledgen!! I don't think soo. Maybe nascar came calling because Mom & Dad have money????? I don't know. I do know this!! No one will come to Central PA and have races handed to them. Bottom line The reason Central Pa competition is so tough is because of the handicaping system in place hear, It forces every team to step up every week!!!! We don't start our fast guys up front in Central Pa!!! They start in the pack, where they have to earn the win!!!! Not 1st, 2nd 3rd...... and run away and hide from everyone like the traveling circuses do!!!!

Sounds like you are assuming there are no good cars anywhere else in the country. Beside that, how much handicapping is going on during speedweek...just curious. Might not wanna hang your hat on those handicap shows much these days, Port did away with them, Grove is half time trial shows now and everytime you look Lincoln is having a special that is time trial.
Also kind of want to put this out there, maybe it seems like the competition is so much deeper because of the handicapping. Lets guys start up front in equal equipment on burnt up tracks and they just hang on. So a few guys are getting wins that otherwise wouldn't have, think about it. I can think of a few guys that could go absolutely anywhere and win in the country if things fell there way. But lets be honest, 85% of Williams Grove or Lincolns field isn't just traveling and gonna be competitive out of the box like Larson has. Time to get a grasp on reality.
