Kyle Larson Added Consecutive Sprint Car Victories During Two Nights In PA
Kyle Larson added two more 410 Sprint Car victories Sunday July 2 and Monday July 3 with back-to-back wins in Pennsylvania Speedweek events at Path Valley Speedway and Lincoln Speedway.
Kyle Larson has added two more 410 Sprint Car victories to his season tally with back-to-back wins in Pennsylvania Speedweek events. These victories came at Path Valley Speedway in Spring Run, PA, on Sunday and Lincoln Speedway in Abbottstown, PA, on Monday.
Starting fourth at Path Valley, Larson watched Tyler Walker and Brock Zearfoss battle for the lead in the opening minutes of the 40-lap A-Main. When the leaders caught traffic, Larson started to reel them in because he had his car hooked up to run multiple grooves.
Larson passed Zearfoss for the lead on lap seven.
"It's always tough when you come to PA," Larson told PaPosseRacing.com. "To get a win here has been on my bucket list. I struggled here in 2012 and 2013 when I came out here so it's cool to get a win on our first night of Speedweek. Hopefully, we get some more. We have three more nights to get some wins."
Getting more was precisely what was in the cards the following night.
At Lincoln Speedway, he was buried deeper in the field on row five alongside fellow NASCAR veteran Kasey Kahne. Once more, Larson navigated traffic better than the competition and raced to the lead--notably taking the top spot on lap seven again.
Larson climbed to the top of the track and moved to fourth by lap three. On his next trip around the track, he passed Trey Starks. Three laps later, Larson was in second around Alan Krimes. It didn't take long to get around pole sitter Lucas Wolfe, who had been leading from the drop of the green.
"I've now won in Central PA! This is bad ass!!" Larson said in a Lincoln Speedway press release. "Last night (at Path Valley) was my style of track and tonight wasn't, so this is awesome to get the win in front of a huge crowd here.
"I couldn't believe the top was that good. I've watched so many videos of Krimes here cruising around the bottom, so I knew I was going to have move down eventually. I wasn't very good down there, and I could hear him right behind me. I had to make sure I didn't miss my marks too bad and slip up off the bottom for him to get underneath me."
Next up on the schedule is Grandview Speedway on July 4.
