World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Cars Knoxville Raceway, August 12, 2021 | HIGHLIGHTS

[@NathanM4A1]

That guy from the fire crew deserves a raise. That was one hell of a chaotic wreck (one of the craziest I've seen), with stuff happening all over, including multiple rollovers, all of which would be distracting and make it hard to identify where to go first. And yet he spots the one car, at the back of it all, on fire, within a split second of it erupting in flames, and is already running towards it. You could see the other crew start to make their way towards some of the rolled cars, before spotting the flames. That guy was on the ball. That was first class crash response right there, and kudos to the race director getting them stopped quickly as well. And how about Larson picking his way through that wreck and making it look easy.

[@templetonchannel]

That is crazy how quick you guys get these highlights out after the checkers! 👍 #respect

[@arccrenshaw8391]

@3:07 that man with the fire tank is a hero... wow!!! dodged the car and saved a life ....WOW

[@kylelarsonfan5127]

He'll of a job Larson. Came in second but hell of a job. Still my favorite driver.

[@haydenrenner7886]

Been a dirt fan on him for a while and in nascar jimmie was my favorite now it’s obviously larson

[@richardpowell7013]

Larson is a talent that you don't find everyday. The kid is an ABSOLUTE BEAST in a racecar!

[@miguelchavez5392]

Larson is one hell of a racer

[@firecrewdavethomas3777]

I've watched him since I was on fire crew at Silver Dollar Speedway. Watching him from the beginning to now, this all is no surprise. He's amazingly talented. To me, he is the greatest all-around driver of all time. He will never beat Steve kinser's all-time win record. I don't think anybody ever will LOL but Kyle Larson in one year alone has won in every class that he's raced. Weather it be late models, NASCAR, midget, World of Outlaws sprint cars. This is something that we've never seen before. Tony Stewart was great in his day at racing many different race cars, so was AJ foyt. But the sort of success that Kyle has had in so many forms of racing, and at the highest level of those forms of racing, is unmatched in history. I feel so lucky to have watched his career grow first hand, and to have met and hung out with him many times and seen him win and rarely lose. This is all really special and one day when we're Super old we're going to be telling our kids and grandkids about Kyle Larson. It's really a treat to see this happen.

[@djjazzyjeff1232]

Massive respect to the safety crew, and also to the Knoxville/Dirt Vision/World of Outlaws production crew. There's 24 cars all spread out and you never miss a thing. There's a camera on seemingly every car at all times. Given the nasty circumstances of the wrecks in this race, the crews of both production and safety gave A+ performances. Also not to mention how racey the track was after getting dumped on by rain earlier in the day. Just everything was handled extremely well.

[@FastasFox35]

Mad props to those track worker's. Way to be on that 🔥

[@IanTheMotorsportsMan_YT]

Shoutout to the safety crews for dealing with the crashfests. They’re the real winners

[@rodneyproductions5044]

And the safety

[@gregmargison2501]

That guy got to that fire real quick. He deserves recognition for his quick action

[@_MOORE_1986]

Thankfully Paul's car was upright while on fire, and the number 3 car did a good job getting his car slowed down in time softening the impact for Macedo.

[@ikeyeet8312]

Larson and Kahne, B mains to 2nd and 6th, That's driving.

[@mols89]

2:16 HUGE PROPS to that safety worker for responding to that fire! Running through cars that were still moving to put out that fire, great stuff!

[@miguelchavez5392]

At my local track safety crew doesn't even know how to use a fire extinguisher

[@SamWilliams78]

Hats off to you guys for posting quality highlights that truly have all the highlights. Good run from Kahne.

[@jadeharris7961]

How Larson made his way through that crash was incredible.glad everyone was ok.way to hang in there Kyle 🏁

[@danagilkey]

That safety crew is on point

[@robertcs68]

Great job by the track crew dealing with the mayhem! Also, Great eye by the camera person to pick up the piece of debris that caused a caution!

[@karaburch7611]

Exciting race!! GOTTA LOVE THE NATIONALS

[@saragrant9749]

What a night, glad everyone is ok. That turn three wreck was crazy, been a while since I saw a methanol fire.

[@saragrant9749]

@NuBz yes, blue in the evening. In the daytime it's really scary because you can't see it at all. I was at a race in Thompson Connecticut where a NEMA midget lost a fuel line in the feature- which was occurring during the afternoon. Everyone was trying to figure out why he just suddenly slowed and stopped- until he started scrambling out of the car. So frightening to see, but he was ok.

[@johnshelton5470]

Nice job Brian Brown you are following in the foot steps of some of the best people I know George Danny Tom and your Dad Robert all really good men just like you are GREAT JOB I'll be a hopen your a winner Saturday night

some scary wrecks there, glad everyone is OK

[@robertphillips3992]

Knoxville Safety crews are the best! I hated to see all that racing equipment destroyed at anytime but especially during the Nationals. Brian Brown and Kyle Larson drove an excellent race. Is there a better week in the whole year?!?!

[@walmars3curity]

Brown had that car set up perfect

[@lincolnstarsfan2106]

U guys had a better highlight video than the Knoxville KZbin page did!!!!

[@TheGameZone2005]

It's like who do you go for some very crazy good racing

[@midnight-2021]

Brent Marks gets 3rd and in a great qualifying spot for Saturday and the PA Posse best hope for Saturday.

[@paulfrench6076]

Now that was great racing.

[@dontaft6517]

Larson, best in the Nation.

Congratulations Brian 👏. 👏 🙌

[@midnight-2021]

Of the 16 drivers that are locked in for Saturday's A main $200000 to win feature only 5 regular World of Outlaws drivers are in the top 16. The race is $150000 to win with a potential of $200000 to win if a driver leads every lap.

From 21st to 2nd. Wow

[@rmitchell1]

That Larson guy is too good lol

That was a great sprint car race i love when Brian brown and Kyle Larson run a great race there also some other great sprint car racers in this race

[@briancockrum2719]

Brown has been fast leading up to now and really seems to want it this year!!

[@cheezeburger25]

The Knoxville fire crew didn't waste any time. Hats off to them!

[@markmnorcal]

They needed foam.

[@charlesdugaw7067]

Surprised they don't have it. That or the foam rig was almost there when the edit cut to something else.

[@miketraver1539]

I wonder what it feels like to be Brad Sweet and not be the best sprint car driver in the family? I vote Kyle Larson for GOAT!

[@markmnorcal]

Brad is third quick in that family. You have no idea of Owens talent.

[@Ajedwards302]

Good for Brown 🤙🏼

[@foreman3737]

DAM 14 cars. lmao like watching NASCAR. I'm glad no one was hurt.

Where was Donny Schatz. I never seen him in the race.

[@LRSNRCNG309]

That napa car is 🔥

[@mutantryeff]

Some costly wrecks. Great racing.

[@InsectoidControl]

Macedo's tank had nothing to do with Paul McMahan catching fire. When the tail of Dumsney's car hits McMahan's car you can see fuel splash out of Dumsney's car onto McMahan's and ignite.

[@trentlothringer2867]

Hope the law firm is ok after that hard ride! Great racing tho after all the crashes, gonna be a stacked field this weekend!!

[@charlesdugaw7067]

It's gonna be a stacked field for tonight's LC-Main!

Brownymania well fucking done he deserves it a hard worker behind the wheel well done champ.

[@johnhoops3531]

Who’s better than Kyle Larson ? I’m waiting!!

[@SS-kz7td]

Best driver in the world imo

[@NathanM4A1]

@Brian Siler Winning the race doesn't necessarily make him the better driver. Brown got into the front early on and just stayed there. Larson went from 21st to second. Not saying it wasn't a great drive from Brown, who was lightning quick, but Larson travelled further through the field to get to his position, Brown just retained his.

[@NathanM4A1]

@Brian Siler Larson is easily the greatest driver of this generation. Out of 90 something dirt track races last year he won over half of them. Those wins included midget, sprintcar, silver crown, and late model wins (in the same season). He's won the Chilli Bowl back to back, he's won races in all the major dirt series (USAC, ASCS, WoO, ASCoC), and has won nearly a dozen NASCAR cup races, including three in a row this year. Name another driver of this generation that has not only won, but dominated across as many different series, and types of car as Larson. He may not be on the same level as Kinser and Swindell in terms of all time greats, but he is certainly the greatest at the moment.

[@johnnyquist8362]

@@NathanM4A1 Nathan, I don't think you can say that Larson is not as good as Kinser or Sammy. Mainly because they raced in different venues. As you said, Larson has raced in so many different types of races and won in all of them. Kinser and Sammy raced almost exclusively in WoO. Comparing Larson to Mario Andretti would be more appropriate. You're right, he is not on the same level as Kinser and Swindell, he is much better.

[@charlesdugaw7067]

In 2015 Kyle Larson also won the Rolex 24 SCCA Sports Car event at Daytona.

[@jaredkinneyjr]

Crashes like these are only going to get worse & worse as sprint car racing becomes more & more popular, more & more money in the sport. Big races are going to have to be invitationals only.
