Kyle Larson Goes Back-To-Back With High Limit Sprint Car Series At Tri-City
Kyle Larson Goes Back-To-Back With High Limit Sprint Car Series At Tri-City
Kyle Larson banked $31,023 via the DURST Dice Roll in Wednesday's High Limit Sprint Car Series win at Tri-City Speedway.
Kyle Larson of Elk Grove, Calif., overtook Rico Abreu with eight laps left of Wednesday's 35-lap feature at Tri-City Speedway in Granite City, Ill., to win his second straight High Limit Sprint Car Series event.
The eighth-starting Larson banked $31,023 with the victory via the DURST Dice Roll, capturing the $8,000 bonus after he elected to give up his front-row starting spot to start from the outside of the fourth row.
Larson's path to victory lane became easier when early leaders Parker Price-Miller (led the first lap) and Danny Dietrich (led laps 2-8) retired from the race prematurely because of separate incidents. Dietrich and second-running Brent Marks tangled in the lead battle gone awry exiting turn two on lap, which effectively ended both Pennsylvania drivers' nights.'
Price-Miller, meanwhile, rolled over when he overstepped the cushion in turns three and four running second on lap 22. Abreu, who led laps nine through 27, finished 1.655 seconds behind Larson. Cory Eliason, Anthony Macri and 10th-starting Sam Hafertepe Jr. rounded out the top-five.
Jake Swanson, driving Alex Bowman's No. 55 Sprint Car, was among drivers failing to qualify.
