Dominant NARC King of the West driver before he left high school. Pumps a lot of his NASCAR earnings right back into sprint car racing for those following in his footsteps. A truly great young man.

[@clist9406]

Brings back great memories back when I ran 360 and 410s . Powering thru a turn and pulling a wheelie down the straight is a hell of a feeling.

[@LBigJake14]

NOTHING Is more insane than a 1300 pound car with 900hp

[@northstarracing18d-4d]

LBigJake14 1500 is he minimal weight you can go

[@swayze3454]

Dom956 in some places yes. Around here there 1100 pounds with 650 hp

[@kennethpuddey8332]

It’s because they have the second best power to weight ratios in the world

[@dirtstroggle5795]

...and on slippery road

[@nhraandnascarfanatic5907]

What about a car that weighs no less than a small hatch back with 11,000hp... think that might come close 😏

[@TonyTate214]

Why the crappy music?? Would rather hear the car!

[@Slideways24]

I don't know why everyone that makes videos feels they need to put on music. The sound of a V-8 rumbling is all the music we need.

[@DriftJunkie]

Maybe the GoPro audio wasn't sufficient

[@WavesRay]

This is a much better video than lots I've seen. It gives you good perspective on the speeds and the knife edge control these guys keep the whole way around the oval. Best part was the car diving into the turns at crazy fast pace.

[@jasonwilliams5945]

My home track in Antioch, CA. Dude tears it up every single time. Great driver. Hands down one of the best I've ever seen in any kind of race car!

[@DingoOverlord]

Ribbs Good! That means you’re a good fan!

[@ribbs67]

@@DingoOverlord I just feel the guy said something he shouldn't have and payed too high of a price. Was it wrong? Of course..was he remorseful, looked like it to me. No one word should have that much power, especially if it's a word a hell of a lot more people have it in their vocabulary than will admit publically. Only difference is he's a budding Nascar superstar with million dollar sponsorships. The fact that African American culture can throw it around like it's nothing and then act offended when they hear a White person say it just rings of complete hypocrisy in my book. The world of "E" Gaming played a huge part in this because stuff like this is pretty much integrated into the gaming vernacular. Spend 10 min in a Call of duty online server and your poor deceased Grandmother will eventually be violated by some player regardless of age on the voice chat. Right or wrong it's the way it is. Dude got caught up playing the game and made an unfortunate and costly mistake on live stream. I just hope all the Social justice keyboard warriors out there that crucified the guy.. had damn well act the same way when their brotha from anotha motha.. uses the word joking around. The guy is a good dude that should get a second chance.

[@DingoOverlord]

Ribbs I 100% agree

[@TrailRecon]

Awesome!

[@leopardcubpupkryky6940]

Love ya on dirt but can't wait to see you back in a cup car in 2021!!!!

[@michaeltewhare3193]

this guy came to my country new Zealand and won all his races to good

[@karlmuller3690]

Kiora Bro!! Yeah, he came over the ditch to Australia too. What a driver!! He won NEARLY every race, but he certainly won every feature he ran, and ran the feature EVERY night he ran, without exception!! He was bloody good!! But I'm old enough to remember when Rich Vogler, Sleepy Trip and others came over to N.Z and Australia to race Midgets in about, oh about 1980-81. I remember Doug Wolfgang, Steve Kinser and I think it was avery young Jac Haudenschild (hope I spelled it right) came out to race Sprintcars, of course. That was about the same time. There were just SOOO many others. And I remember seeing your own Barry Butterworth come over here and race Sprintcars in theearly eighties too. Boy, tose were the days,now, if you want to win, I mean if you REALLY want to win features, or have a hope of it, you gotta have Big $$$, not just Talent and Big Balls, you "Pay to Win" now sadly.

[@cindykern6819]

Kyle Larson grew up around me, never heard of him till he joined NASCAR, he was my favorite driver and I was devastated when he was suspended, praying he'll be back to NASCAR next season!

[@rammhamster]

this is one of The most difficult motorsports there are and while some of you may think it is pretty boring i just don't think you understand that you are going 80+ not on a dirt oval like this one with other cars around you. it takes a great amount of skill and has paved the way for legends like Jeff gordon and tony stewart, and I can tell you that this takes a lot more skill than NASCAR. kind of a shame it only gets the kind of attention it does. a lot more going on than just turning left. more right than left if you payed attention to the video.

[@clist9406]

80+ that would be a very short track . 1/2 & 3/8 tracks get well up to 150+ . Nothing like sliding into a corner at 150 , 9000rpm , with 11 other crazy fools inches away . Absolutely no mercy in the sport , even my own father would slide me up to the wall . Damn good times back then.

[@kennethpuddey8332]

Even dirt karts is an underrated sport

[@davidcologgi7397]

Tony Stewart started out racing on Dirt...

[@johndeereman3363]

Jeff Gordon also started on dirt

So true i love speedway and i race myself its the best thing ever

[@HarryVerolme]

[@tomkrayg8102]

900 hp is all the sound you should need for this great video. Music is TOTALLY UNNECESSARY. Can this generation do anything without music?

[@crussell6533]

ok boomer

[@aidenb5623]

@@crussell6533 the sound of the engine is better than music honestly

Most exciting driver in America to watch. Especially in a spring car even in Tv. Hopefully going to see him at Atomic later this month.

[@Fitbiker105]

This dude put the world on notice this year

[@danielc.493]

@GoPro, What did you use to give the footage a smooth feel? What gimbal or stabilizer used?

[@Activ8]

Sick ride!

[@luckydude29]

All of you people who make the "really funny" cliche left turn joke, have no idea until you step into something with 900 hp, pedals below your feet, and a driveline right in the middle of them with a rear end right behind your ass. Its real funny then, you would be praying before they pushed you on the track too.

[@rsmith7978]

Colton Corbin turning right to go left lol they'll never understand rear steer!

[@TheLesserGamer]

so true. IM currently doing the super 600 class right now in delta speedway

so much power !

Ditch the background music. More of the over-the-shoulder views, both left and right. I drove sprints for several years back in the 80's. Now I'm just an old guy. Love these vids.

This song gets my juices flowing. Where can I find it???

Now, lol.

How does GoPro and Redbull make their videos so smooth? Do they use stabilisation software or stabilising mounts?

[@forwarddrive4066]

Dam Kyle, how many Go Pros you have on board? Great video 👍

[@cmoore185]

I have been around sprint cars since the 50's. Not only was that before cages it was before roll bars. In the mid 60's i was at a show at the belleville high banks and a racer from texas summed it up. It's like putting a saddle on an engine and riding it through a mud storm. i cleaned that comment up. The cars are lighter and lots more power today than 50 years ago.

[@Rob_Moilanen]

Yep, and in those days, they didn't even have fire suits or proper helmets, most of them drove in a t-shirt and jeans, some of the fancier guys wore coveralls. Thank god Bill Simpson came along changed all that, I still remember his first demo of his fire suits at Indy almost 40 years ago.

[@cmoore185]

Bill Simpson has done more to save racer's lives than any other person alive or dead. End of conversation. I remember in 1980 when someone sued him and he wouldn't settle out of court. He testified that when it was worn properly you would have x amount of time to get out. The jury went outside and he set a fire and stood in it to prove it. Case dismissed !

[@derekniebrand7961]

Yeah, you flipped a sprint car back in the day, the survival rate was really, really bad.

[@DewkChronic]

Kid is still one of the best.

[@nicklasarron]

I think ive watched this 50 plus times

[@lecm5025]

Great shots, I second the music; could do without it. Motorsports fans generally want to hear the cars, or cut the music volume to about half.

I'm a fan of GoPro and all, but isn't the opening showing the Hero 4 meant to mean that the video was filmed on a Hero 4 camera?! It is quite clear the cameras used were 3/3+, not the 4 as implied in the opening... At least that's what I always thought the opening was for, might as well just have the Session in the opening instead then.
