He is a great driver. He is always winning at the local track I go too. Florence Speedway. Best of luck to him.

[@trimegz3105]

I think Larson isn’t human at this point

[@tomcummings655]

as many have said,its dieseling,running on its own oil with NO Ignition needed!!shutting off fuel or electrics will not stop it!!have even seen them blow up bad enough to run backwards!!

[@matchthat5053]

That's impossible 🤣

@@matchthat5053 No its not, have seen it as well

[@matchthat5053]

@@Ever443 maybe for 5 seconds no longer. Here you have a broke ring most likely with the Engine mount broke the engine torques up and to the right locking the throttle open because of mechanical linkage.

[@gailtaylor1636]

Need to remove the air cleaner and put a carb cap on it. No air it will eventually shut down.

[@ever4437]

@@matchthat5053 I’m not sure where the “engine mount” thought came from. Has nothing to do with this blow up. Never was said how long they would run backwards just that they do and regularly when blowing up like this. Clearly dieseling not wide open throttle or any of that thinking. Look at video it was smoking a few laps before blowing up, more than likely running very hot then when that happened it’s simply dieseling on hot oil. Will run until it’s out of oil or the air is choked off by plastic bag or something similar over carb. Hell I’ve seen water poured in carb to get them to shut off. Even put in gear and choked down by letting clutch out against a wall or pole.

The throttle is hung open ok where's the emergency cut off every race car has on? Or this is something I learned when driving racecar every car racecar or street car the brakes have more power than the engine. So if the throttle is hung open put it in gear and slam on the brakes causing the car to stall.

[@jasonwaucaush8169]

It's called dieseling we had this happen to a late model a couple years ago fuel was shut off but it was running on its own oil just had to wait till it burned up all it's oil

all the cars have a battery disconnect easy to get to, also most of the even low buck series require a kill switch accusable from outside the car

[@derekweatherford8989]

Do a little research on whats happens when a high horsepower motor blows up like that. Then you'll see why the battery disconnect will do-nothing in this situation.

[@michaelscott1862]

Throttle hung wide open? Does that car NOT have a master switch?

[@MrCatrucker]

At 1:52 you can see a crewman shutting off the master switch. Hot motor, running on motor oil, from heat of compression, ie; "dieseling". Cutting the air will stop it, block off carb.

An internal combustion engine requires fuel and oxygen to run. Drunk runs out of stands and throws a garbage bag over carb. No air.

[@mikeskidmore6754]

Detroit Diesel two strokes all have an air intake emegency shut off valve.. Fuel lines under the valve covers if htey leak the oil gets diluted with fuel.. Then they can suck the oil diluted with fuel past the rings and run on it until they blow up

[@dieselman2000]

As Mike said, Detroit's that are flat wore out will scavenge it's crankcase, even with no fuel source...But as you correctly state, unless it has another way to get air ( bad/ missing airbox cover gaskets) you can choke it off. With this engine, dieseling occurred because of high compression and something that is flammable (oil). And yes, when worn out, Detroit's can run backwards until it seizes. (built them since 1982, now retired)

[@jasl7358]

Or in the case of this particular engine, spray a bunch of water in the carb and put out the fire

[@mikeskidmore6754]

@@dieselman2000 Yes but most Detroits that run away and and cut be shut off by fuel shut off have fuel in the engine oil.. This is caused by a leaking fuel line under the valve covers.. ..

[@fishingwithkar4871]

Do they not have an emergency shut off switch like if you have a drag car that can do eight sevens or eights you're required to have a switch on the back of the car that you can pull and it cuts the power I'm going to tell me these cars that a professional driver like Larson's driving doesn't have like a switch like that on the back of the car to shut the power off or something or inside the car like the throttle being hung open shouldn't matter you should have an emergency shut off switch and damn that was a lot of smoke

[@Nascar-zv9lh]

The do have master switches, what happened was the motor blew apart snd oil was getting into the combustion chambers snd burning instead of gas. Don’t need spark cause of how hot the the motor is. Look up runaway engines they feed off their own oil till they seize up.

[@howardwest2707]

They should have a fuel cutoff inline to the rails. That's just bad build process in my opinion. My midget had two manual cut-off valves. One in the cockpit I could reach and one next to the fuel tank before the pump that emergency workers could reach. I also had an electrical kill switch in the drivers area that could be easily cut-off.

[@Corky3D]

It's not running off the fuel. It's running off the oil. Diesels are mainly know for that, but can happen on normal engines.

[@tmaximus2327]

The guy in the blue fire suit looks like he did reach over and cut the fuel. But like others have said its running off the oil.

This is exactly why Kyle Larson should just stay away from dirt track racing. I'm not familiar with the driver that went up in smoke. He was obviously pushing his equipment beyond its capabilities to catch a guy that runs the best of the best equipment every night be it a sprint, late model, midget, whatever. Now this team has possibly suffered a catastrophic blow to their season. Maybe that was their only engine? Let the Kyle Larson lovers bash me now..
