Kyle Larson vs. Superman In Epic Showdown At Vado | 2023 Wild West Shootout

[@timreigstad3249]

Wow…that was….well, some of the best driving I’ve seen in many years!!!

[@johnnygarrett3030]

That is as entertaining as it can get!!!

[@raymond3803]

A sprint car guy, I don't follow late models much. That said, this was the best late model race I've seen. I'm sure there have been many more that were even better. But .......... this is #1 for me.

[@clairmurphy]

givé him by name

[@jonathonerickson1691]

Really is Superman behind the wheel of the #49

[@slimbrady6691]

The 2006 World 100 is widely considered the greatest late model race of all time. It's on KZbin. Check it out.

Amazing race! You guys are awesome! Thank Floracing!

[@colbyhutzellfishingvideos4365]

My god Larson chopped that corner off i about died.. that was incredible driving. We are all very blessed to watch probably the greatest race driver to ever live

[@israelmathes6268]

Larson is a heck of driver but I do not know about the greatest ever.

[@jpsracing8732]

What a fun race! Can’t ask for much more.

[@daytonajoe281]

Great fun in this race!!

[@lburgguy]

Wow! Definitely some of the best racing action I've ever seen - well at least that I can remember. Just awesome!

[@danielk6485]

SON!! What a race.

[@RichieWilliams97]

JD and Larson are absolute wheelmen. Watching them fight each other for a win is like nothing else.

[@kylejonesUB]

Absolutely awesome race, huge talent and respect from all three frontrunners.

[@larryeddings3185]

Now, that was a great race!

[@Etan1122]

Pierce almost taking out Larson. Outdriving his talent once again

[@DeathstarMXR]

Yep, pierce is either hitting the wall or someone else

[@badbodboymalone]

Both y’all can STFU Pierce is a fucking shoe

I was about to writ the exact same thing but you beat me to it👍

Wow what a race

[@pauloehmen1665]

That was as good as it gets

[@billyfeldhahn5224]

THATS PROPER RACING ! I would like to imagine that Kyle congratulated JD and told him that was a lot of fun. WHAT A RACE !!!

[@jaydengrubb2642]

Hell of a race!!!!

[@hank1484]

Two of the best battling it out then pierce trying to bring his typical dumb shit in 😂

[@raiseyourhornz]

The crying will really start when Pierce gets that Longhorn completely dialed in.

[@cgundlac]

@raiseyourhornz it'll be dialed in until he bonks it off of a bunch of other cars anyway.

[@mitchell-wallisforce7859]

"Bullshit Bobby" Pierce damn near ruined that battle.

[@RiskyRegan21]

Great racing!

[@24slipknot]

Man, JD holding off a Nascar Cup Series Champ and the king of dirt in Kyle Larson. What a race!

[@ThatGuy-256]

Damn that was a good one 🏁🤘🏼

[@lehighstar474]

Absolutely....more and more people are going to their local Dirt Track on Friday and Saturday night.....up here in the northeast we have Super DIRT Car Series big block modifieds....and sprintcars......

[@dw-nb2zh]

Honestly, this blows NASCAR away

[@Casey-Jones-i1y]

You hardly can tell nascar came from dirt racing.

[@michaelvrckoff6966]

Great race well done JD

How do you top that in 2023? Wow.

[@lennyholland908]

Anywhere Larson races it’s a good race !!!

[@michaelshelley1289]

that was a great race!!!

[@mattfetter4123]

That was one he'll of a race! I am hoping Yung Money, can get a win this week. JDs car looked so fast and smooth. If Yung Money would have won his heat race , He will have more laps to wear out the Superman. That race had me all fired up last night, hard to fall asleep. Wednesday can't get here fast enough.

[@longjohn526]

Now THAT is racing !!!!!

[@paulles1377]

My gosh what a great race!!!

[@Brian-vd4mg]

Larson’s cushion drive off was his Sprint car experience. His first slide job was also Sprint car style which is way more aggressive than what we see in LM….well unless your Bobby Pierce.

[@nikl1604]

I hope the racing is just as good Sat night I'm here and cant wait

[@cammacisaac9966]

To hell with dirt on Bristol just have the Cup race there.

[@mattfetter4123]

Was wanting to see it, but after watching cup on dirt , who wants to watch 20 second cup cars on dirt, when you can watch a super late blister bristol.

[@jeremyduncan8194]

They aren’t putting dirt back on Bristol

[@replicated]

Be nice if this streaming service was reasonably priced so more people could watch these races.

[@williamgravenor3293]

Awesome racing I will take dirt track racing any day

[@itsmeitsmeitsjjg4883]

Are you guys gonna post any of the modified A mains

[@JT-SE-OHIO]

Lawson makes every race exciting, he can drive anything. He made Davenport work for it. It's all about setup, Lawson just missed his a little. He drove what he had to the max.

[@jamesrescino9735]

great duel for the lead!

[@billlevassiur8274]

Great race

[@jimmyalpha361]

Very early but I'm going to say that will be a top 10 LM race for 2023.

Love it!!

[@madmax115541]

What a fxxxxxx race hell ya

[@timg7627]

Really good driving! Great race. It looks like whatever magic JDs car has is at least partly due to the right front having a ton of traction. He can just put his car wherever he wants and it sticks 🤷‍♂️

[@shroomzftw]

that was a f****** awesome race man Superman and young money back and forth back and forth thank God that nobody wrecked or wrecked either one of them why they were chasing playing cat-and-mouse that was badass driving

Wow, now that was a race.

[@Drewski423]

Heck of a race, but I’m tired of seeing JD win 9 out of 10. Somebody needs to step up and outrun this cat. Can’t deny he’s a great tho.

[@kingcars]

Agreed, though over the last several months I have been eagerly awaiting/hoping for the moment Larson finally had that car dialed in and could challenge Davenport in his prime. Tonight was that night, and it sure as hell didn't disappoint.

[@Drewski423]

@@kingcars sure didn’t. Larson was on rails. Once Al the big dogs get together on the regular as the season goes maybe somebody can challenge him. JD has been so dominant it gets old seeing him win night in and night out.

Yea Jimmie Johnson vibes lol, Steve kinser too

Need more chassis manufacturers. Can't have everyone using same car

[@homelite3392]

World of Outlaws Sprints will be were Larson would run a full time on dirt because he wants that championship said that on David Gravel's channel the other night but that could be along time from now because Cup Series on Sundays. Check out the interview on David Gravel's channel good stuff 👍

Let's go the boys representing Oregon Collen winebarger, Justin duty, jim whisler and easton whisler

I was amazed to see that many cars from Oregon. Glad to see more drivers & new meat!

[@roycooley2129]

Larson's car looked like it got tight at the end. Great race between JD and Kyle.

[@raiseyourhornz]

It didn't get tight. He was just trying to make up ground and was pushing it a bit over its limits. Smooth laps win races.

[@deanlyons2310]

Man, Larson can drive and run with the best in any type of car. Superman got the “W” but Larson was pressuring him the entire race Fantastic driving……& Bobby Pierce made it interesting

[@jamiedalluge9472]

That's jst plain awesome

[@jasonbozicevich1357]

Wow!!!!!

[@wymple09]

I thought Larson was going to get him until Pierce got in the way about 6-7 laps to go. JD is always tough.

[@Greg-nq4dj]

I'd say Kyle Larson is one of the fastest and cleanest drivers out there

[@raiseyourhornz]

One of the most fortunate. Yes !!

[@tutonetroy4952]

@paulcoinc .... he's such a dangerous driver????

Great facility..Great coverage..Crappy attendance.

Do late models have 2 way communication or mirrors I just wanna know how Davenport knew to do exactly what Larson was doing seems odd

none of the above they listen for the engine of the car behind them .

[@kennybaker1026]

The 15 and 49 car shouldn't be allowed on the race track anywhere. Get out of the way once you're lapped. I've been on both sides of this and I'm smart enough to know I should get out of the way if I'm in the way.

[@Stiitchjones]

Davenport doing some mirror driving changing his line messing up Larson...

[@Anthonyvincenttucceri7401-n5p]

Id Like To See If Kyle Larson Would Do Good In A Big Block Modified

[@RabbitHead09]

Dang... I thought Lala would get him.

[@brannonhouse4636]

Man if Larson had more drive off of two that race might would have ended differently. Looked like his car just had no drive out of two.

[@du24pont70]

Uh...you got the title of this vid wrong. It's Davenport vs. Superman. As good as Dav is in late models, he hasn't accomplished what Superman has.

[@firstname6208]

Yung munny runs partial schedule, he has zero interest in second place and it shows. Great race, great drivers. Everyone wins.

[@byrontucker2770]

Cant keep the "flying floridian's" phallus out your mouth huh?

[@scott1708]

@@byrontucker2770 In case you misread it, I'm saying that these guys race (49, 6, 32, B5) and that HTF is an apparel company with late model show cars. Joey's thing is far from my mouth, rather it is in that of one of their super fanboys to whom a start and park is a celebrated effort.

[@byrontucker2770]

1. You could've chosen any other slogan, but you didn't. 2. These drivers are all either apart or running a business, so revenue is revenue (no shame in a start n park). And why risk shredding your equipment or getting run over and hurting someone else's chances of winning if you knew you couldn't compete after qualifying? 3. The top 1% of drivers all had to start somewhere, so many people like you said the same or similar at one point. 4. These drivers and tracks all need revenue, so super fans showing up buying tickets and merch is always a good thing and keeps the sport alive and tracks open. In the end, what's the point of racing if you can't beat the best And i apologize for the "Flying Floridian's phallus," but the alliteration on that was crazy

[@scott1708]

@@byrontucker2770 No problem, alliteration is good! I just always consider HTF primarily an apparel company because they do themselves. That is exactly what Jonnythan did when he took a PPP loan that many consider questionable at best.
