Kyle Larson is simply the best race car driver on the planet right now

[@jrknox2424]

He is great! But I believe Paul Silva is literally the best in the business, as great as Larsen is without Silva I think he would admit its not the same.

[@raymond3803]

It's not a planet kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYete4CgoNuBpKs

[@ethanweeter2732]

This sucks though. These cars need to be running on half mile dirt tracks, not 1/4 miles.

[@healthyone100]

and will be for a long time to especially in a sprint car!

[@chrisfisher4087]

I knew fourth race into the 2021 cup season Larson was going to have himself a championship this year and yes quite simply the best driver on the planet as of right now

[@shellycasbeer3775]

We are watching history. Thank you for the excellent racing events and can't wait til next year. Go Kyle Larson!!!!!!

[@mikesmithey1892]

I watched Kyle in California and in the Midwest and me and other people in the grandstands all agreed that if he ever made it to NASCAR he would be a champion one hundred percent sure of it and now look at what has happened today he finally got a reputable ride with excellent equipment and he is simply the best driver on the planet right now.

[@sbmcvp4525]

It's funny how Hendrick didn't want him years ago because he couldn't bring any sponsorship or funding. Others turned him down. Ganasi's only question for Kyle, was "when he could sign him?" Rick's tune sure did change, huh? He's FUNDING Kyle now, AND was rewarded a Championship. Just think IF he took a chance on Larson years ago.

[@dperk2294]

Yep, I have lives in Nor Cal, and watched Kyle race when he was a young kid. Racing 360’s and 410’s in Chico at like 15. We knew he belonged in NASCAR, I think most of us who met him did not know he could be champ in NASCAR though. Pretty cool to see

[@Myamericanlife61]

It is so nice to see team mates helping each other out Larson is such an awesome guy all round and his talent is unmatched a lot of people are going to hate me for saying this but I think Kyle may have saved NASCAR a bit too I am a dirt man but I did watch nascar for the first time since Jr hung it up and if you ever meet him at a dirt track he’s always willing to chat for a bit he loves his fans and for a long time now NASCAR has taken away the days you could shake a hand or too for looking through a window

[@noahsathletics]

This how NASCAR makes a comeback for the fans. The big boys are not too good to get dirty anymore.

[@damienirvin777]

Wish they'd bring the prelude to the dream back. Had top drivers from many different disciplines.

[@DrummuseTimbo]

EXCELLENT filming dude!!! Many many thanks for posting!! I subscribed to your channel with full alerts. And Kyle Larson is ON FIRE! Woo hoo!!!!👍👍✌😎🍻

[@MidpackMania]

Appreciate you brother 🙌

[@DrummuseTimbo]

@@MidpackMania Thank you! I hope you, your racing & family all to well. Win win bro!! I like your racing kart. And keep that killer footage rolling as you do so well.

[@normanwillhoite277]

Born and raised in Fresno, Ca. Moved to southern Minn. between Hussets and Jackson get to see a lot of racing out here. It's like the valley was when I was growing up. I like your channel keep up the good work

[@JonathanWestcott]

Everyone talks about larson but give Paul Silva the credit he deserves as well. That guy is one of the greatest crew chiefs of all time.

[@jackpiner2500]

I said it before and I'll say it again. He can drive anything and win. The best right now and he proved it !

[@mikek749]

Massive respect for Chase wheeling one of these machines! Will help him emencly...

[@mikesmithey1892]

Watching him before NASCAR was so thrilling he would always come out of the turn to and for and literally scrape the car on the concrete barrier down the straightaways he loved to run the outside to keep his momentum

[@bigrooster6893]

Elliott saw how dominant Larson was this year so Elliott is trying to learn something different.

[@robertleftwich1122]

Suck a big difference in the equipment. You can hear the difference of Larson’s engine. Doesn’t seem fair, but still magnificent to watch. I don’t understand why the whole field isn’t inverted, when I was racing and had quick time I started in the back and there where points given for each car passed.

[@frankiehomen4298]

I live in Merced and I'm a NASCAR fan. I can't believe that Kyle Larson and Chase Elliot were here only a month ago and I'm just finding out about it now. I live 10 minutes from the fairgrounds. I've never felt like more of an idiot haha

[@deannederhoff]

I used to be a truck driver and stopped at a flying j truckstop for the night.and an older couple in a toter home and car hauler parked beside me.i spent about 3 hours talking to he and his wife.they were BLACKWELL MOTORSPORTS.delivered their 4 midget sprints to get checked out after race weekend.but oh the stories that man could tell.racing at the Chili Bowl.and mostly of course the grand daddy track Knoxville Ia.but this couple had had Kyle Larson drive for them at some point.but I totally enjoyed the conversation that night with them

[@racejunkie566]

Great video bro thanks for taking the time to let us know what was going on instead of just throwing it up there first to figure it out on our own definitely get a like in a share

[@MidpackMania]

Thanks man, I tried to make it as easy to watch as possible so no one had to guess what was going on lol

[@danoiddano6891]

I wonder does kyle have a fresh motor for every event. He could afford it and he does have a reputation to up hold 😁 his car was fast as hail and the setup was spot on for that coarse. Thanks for the great video.

[@johnlavery6885]

Nice channel, I will be back. Love all the Hendricks drivers. The best of them came out of dirt racing. Kyle in his prime is historic. Lots of fun.

[@rayaddington4519]

I like to watch him work traffic, he makes it look so easy. Look forward to the videos of the nationals. Good luck. Good to see Sammy bach on channel. Now just get him back in the seat. Happy Thanksgiving

[@stephengoss8593]

Wish I could have been there I was raised on dirt track racing down around Georgia and South Carolina my dad was a good motor builder and he took us boys about every weekend and yeah he even built one and drove it and that was in Pensacola Florida I loved them days

[@paulhall170]

I could watch Kyle Larsen all day, he is on another planet, isn't he?

[@jameshassel5838]

This is great. Just what Chase needs. Little better wheel control. Elliott an Larson working together. Be a unstoppable dream team.

[@mikesmithey1892]

I'm from Clovis I've been all over the dirt tracks Hanford Madera the Clovis rodeo grounds used to have dirt racing that's where I grew up and I even remember going to Kearney Bowl which was asphalt watching the famous Al pombo and the surgent I seen Evel Knievel jump 13 cars at Kearney Bowl in Fresno when I was a kid I miss all that I live in Missouri and I go to the dirt tracks around Branson in the surrounding areas

[@cyclingbutterbean]

Very few people really know what their true purpose for being is. Sully's was to be a pilot and successfully land that plane on the Hudson. Eric Clapton makes his guitar weep like no other. Kyle Larson's purpose is to drive race cars. His gift to all. His skill beyond compare. Yes Paul does a GREAT job preparing the car. BUT, and I mean but ,the car is just a machine. It needs a soul. You watch Kyle drive , I mean really watch him drive the dirt cars. Hard to do when he's all covered up in sheetmetal(soon to be carbon fiber). He and the car are one and the same. I watched him terrorize the field at Calistoga a few years back. He drove both a non winged sprint car and a non winged midget. Calistoga is big , wicked , and FAST! It was scary how deep he drove his cars into the corners. I sensed fear ,but it was absolute confidence. Kyle was absolutely confident in his skill ,in his car, in his destiny to be the absolute best at what he does. Like him or not ,he's got a talent like we haven't seen in quite a while. We'll see what the future holds for Kyle Larson. I hope to witness him winning the Indy 500 some day.

Travis reber (black and teal 88) is from my hometown

Thank you

[@donlivingston2461]

Hendrick teammate's racing sprint cars

[@chadhall5921]

Young Money the guy is just simply unreal!!!!

[@purdyquibb]

That car though.. #@&n. That thing was on a rail, anywhere Larson put it it was happy. Kudos to Kyle but man, whoever set that car up is the real star…

[@prairiefarmer5994]

Whens the last time we could say the last two cup series champs were running Sprints in the off season? I'm guessing never.

[@SPINDY72]

There’s Larson. And then there’s everybody else. He’d immediately be competitive in F1 and/or IndyCar.

[@theguyandassociates]

HEY CHASE GAS IS ON THE RIGHT!!! LMWAO

[@johnjohnson6094]

It’s not even fair.

[@timford3599]

Note to Chase: don't try to go into "Yung Money's" playground and not expect to get dropped like a hot rock. Heat #1 Chase starts 3rd, Kyle 4th. End of lap one. Kyle's in 2nd heading for 1st. Chase falls from 3rd to 5th (although, he did finish 3rd). As the song goes; "Don't tug on Superman's cape!"

[@backcountryme]

It is cool to see Chase going outside his comfort zone. He is picking up new skills that will only make him faster. Glad to see more NASCAR guys showing up at local dirt tracks. Only helps all of racing.

[@sledgehammerk35]

uh, Kyle Larson asked Chase to come run one of his sprint cars. Chase didn't come in trying to tug on anyone's cape lmao

[@keithelvis2611]

I didn't see where Brexton finished?

[@stephengoss8593]

Yeah I would say Kyle if not the best race car driver is going to be one of the best and Chase Elliot is going to be one of the best and this year in Nascar turned out just like I said.

[@rarerooter226]

My uncle poured that wall

Was there last night was sitting at the front tow

Kyle Larson is the next Jeff Gordon!!!

As a Gordon and Larson fan... No disrespect to Jeff but Larson quite a bit better.

Correction. Every time larson almost lapped Elliot a red flag came out then a yellow with 15 to go lol

Did Larson lapp the field lol
