that hole and turns one and two looked vicious! it's crazy how brave all the rest of those guys are to drive right through it after seeing the leader take a tumble.

[@breindelwisdom5723]

fr, we go there off and on throughout the weeks and its always got a hole in 1&2 usually its on the bottom, but its because of a spring that goes under the track

@@TassyDeval Okay. I'll acknowledge and respond to the initial comment. Rico has always been a reckless driver who drove over his head, over-drove the car and wore-out his tires. Only now, with Ricky Warner, is Rico starting to really get good. It took Warner over a year to finally get through to Rico's stubborn thick skull.

[@TassyDeval]

He does lose. The media has him hyped up along with the announcers and the fans so can you imagine the drivers who beat him when he doesn't win can you imagine how that makes them feel but they do not get the glory very often. He is the reason people like Rico, marks and all the others are doing what they can to improve their driving style. He is literally making beast out of other drivers that normally would be just a good driver. He is making awesome drivers out of them, in my opinion.

[@waynespyker5731]

The 'Grove had a same condition in turn 1 during the Johnson era. Weekly shows were 12 car invert handicap, time trial shows developed the same dip after 10 cars using the same line. Times would slow for next 15-20 cars, then slowly return to sometimes see the last few set top time. Saw Sammy have the Hamilton #77 dancing the same except not rolling as Marks.

[@raymond3803]

Last year, Eldora ran 4 races in-a-row. $10,000 to win, Gravel won it. $100,000 to win, Marks won it. $10,000 to win, Gravel won it. $175,000 to win, Marks won it. The fact that Marks (An independent driver) opted-out of the races Gravel won (Even though Marks was there) As if to say, $10,000 to win isn't enough for us to drop the door of our trailer. To me is a spit-in-the-face to the World of Outlaws as an organization. And one of the reasons why we are watching sprint cars on Tuesday nights. Pack the stands fuller and pay more money than a regular WoO weekend show. Pay attention folks, High Limit is going to force the Outlaws to change. And do so, in the most legit and honorable way.

Awesome Kyle Larson!!!

[@raymond3803]

I encourage people to check out the last time 410s raced here. Search World of Outlaw sprint cars Eagle, NE. It was June 13, 2017. Joey Saldana signed on to drive the Wood-Stenhouse #17 for the 2017 WoO season. At this point, Saldana's best finish was a 4th place. Larson shows up unannounced. Jumps in one of Saldana's back-up cars. Took off all of Saldana's left-side arm guards. (cause he's smart enough to leave an exit) Then drove an ill handling car (he'd never driven before) on a foreign track (he'd never seen before) to victory. Passing Pitman on the last lap to get the win. btw: Saldana was fired within 1 week afterward.

[@Upracefan]

Now thats racing! Not that boring Nascrap!

[@donnierittenberry5515]

Bad luck for marks I don’t think anybody would caught him Larson is just excellent on dirt way to go

[@stevep5111]

Larson & Rico looked like the old cart days!!

[@randykirchhevel7311]

Rico gave it everything he had. How does Kyle get so lucky especially when he races more in NASCAR then dirt track racing. He must have some Sneaky Pete Nitros hidden because when he gets to the front he is hard to catch because Rico would kind of get by him but once he got by Kyle going into the turn he couldn't keep the car at full throttle coming out of the turn. It is a very challenging situation when going toe to toe with the best. It takes every once of energy to beat the best.

[@edwardwalker1554]

See why Larson created these big paychecks as he literally owns his own series and cashing in😂😂😂😂

[@tokeypokey]

Because the other racers don't make any money either 😂

[@cliff4695]

Only person cashing in is Paul Silva. The check goes to Paul, from there Paul than pays Larson. Larson and Sweet, are making there money from the marketing, production side, and event sponsors. Either way, each event is basically 100K in payouts, 30K in winnings goes to Paul, than 50 percent goes to Larson, than 33 percent goes to the government. So after everything, travel expenses, time away from family, risking his life, hes left with roughly 10K for all his efforts, I would not call that cashing in, when the guy is worth 10+million 😂😂

[@wg5768]

The dice roll is a joke! No one is going to start further back if Marks,Macri,Larson or Abreu are going to be in front of you. Larson is the only one that did it and wouldn't start further back than eighth. He actually won,but had Lady Luck on his side. Three of the front runners crashed out of the race. He's cherry-picking,just like when the top tier NASCAR drivers race in the lower series. It should not be allowed!

Larson needs to quit taking money away from the full time teams that are trying to make it. Sit out and help run the series like Brad sweet does. I'm a big kyle fan but I don't agree with running your own series and stealing money away from smaller teams

[@rickdavis9325]

That's exactly what I'm saying, but it' appears he has created, his own ATM to pull cash out of . Don't like the draw give yourself another one . Don't like the officials call stop on the track and change it ,

[@CM-ve1bz]

The only reason Sweet or any of the outlaws don’t run those races more often is because they wouldn’t be eligible to win outlaw championship money.

[@mikek749]

So Larson is committed to a weekend job but is free in the middle of most weeks, feels racing more makes him a better driver. He has always said he wants to help grow dirt racing and wants more money for sprint/midget purses. A lot of fans want to see Kyle run dirt which is why the races he shows up to are packed with people. The drivers who show up all make a little more money then they would at other races and have a chance to make a lot more for a High Limit win. Bottom line Kyle races more fans more purse money... Don't understand the hate. Don't watch if you don't want to see the 6 or 57.

[@raymond3803]

If Larson doesn't want all the attention from sprint car & midget fans ............. Right before he times-in, or before his qualifying heat. Put this announcement out on loudspeakers. *_"All sprint cars should have starters and clutches. No more push trucks. I'm Kyle Larson, and I approve this message."_*

[@dontcare8429]

Remember when Larson was winning all those races with Genassi racing, me neither. It's not all driverits also the ones turning the wrenches. Rico wasn't sniffing wins until he got Shatzs crew chief. Yes Larson is an excellent wheel man but he's got alot of help too.

[@chasefolsom1347]

Not discrediting what you’re saying here but he wayyyy out performed his equipment at Ganassi. That team was a year or two behind and he was running top 5-10 every week. Put him in good cars, he wins races. He’s a special talent though.
